DRI allows organizations to sell excess computing resources in a secure Cloud format.Digital Ribbon currently represents over 18 million core hours a month of high quality HPC resources available in a secure cloud format. Digital Ribbon is stepping beyond simple "commodity based servers" and expanding what is possible in cloud computing by deliver HPC level computing in a completely scalable manor.
We provide the raw resources to power Grids, Clouds and the new Web 2.0 Products through a computing resources exchange. Delivering the primary formats of high performance cloud resources and embarrassingly parallel computing resources, all with varying levels of bandwidth, storage and memory. We then help convert those computing resources into consumable products.

Our Primary two Computational Resources (CR) products that are exchanged are Distributed/ Embarrassing Parallel (DEP) Processing Power & Cluster/Parallel Resource Processing Power (CPR).
Peak Time Contracts | Off Peak Contract | Bulk Contracts | ||||
Priority | This is a priority contract. | Lower priority jobs | Full Month Contracts | |||
| ||||||
Scheduling | 7 am to 7 p.m. Tier 1 Connectivity 99.999% up time for mission critical applications, such as Monte Carlo simulation. Additional nodes for hot fall over node mitigation. | Open schedule, due to scheduling availability. Trade off of priority scheduling for cost benefits. | Processing power for: 24 hours 7 days a week for a month. | |||
Example Usage | Excellent resources for supplementing heavy day usage, for advanced market simulation, timely frame rendering, or large data mining projects. | Great for daily batch processing, independent animation, software compiling, data mining. | Ideal for large data processing jobs such as Geodesic, gas and oil discovery projects, or Bioinformatics. | |||
Target Market | Market Simulations | Rendering | Gas & Oil or Bioinformatics |
Distributed / Embarrassingly Parallel (DEP)
We trade pure Distributed/Embarrassingly parallel (DEP) processing by the Petaflop for all your companies larger scale data processing needs. DigitalRibbon's exchange trades DEP processing in many formats including Globus, UD, BOINC, and Parabon Computing. So whether you are processing seismic data for gas and oil discovery, researching global climate change or working to develop a protection drug for smallpox the exchange can solve all your data processing needs.Product Explanation:
GLBS: Globus 1 Petaflop, Spot (or short term contract)

GLBF: Globus 1 Petaflop, Forward (or long tern contract)

UDS: United Devices 1 Petaflop*, Spot
UDF: United Devices, 1 Petaflop, Forward
BNCS: BOINC, 1 Petaflop, Spot
BNCF: BOINC, 1 Petaflop, Forward
PARS: Parabon, 1 Petaflop, Spot
PARF: Parabon, 1 Petaflop, Forward
*DEP processing is quantified by: 1 Petaflop on a machine cycle (or Quadrillion operations). Typical 2 MHz Pentium 3 processor would require 24 hours of undistracted processing to yield 1 Petaflop.
Cluster – Parallel Resources (CPR)
We trade Cluster Parallel Resources (CPR) processing by the Petaflop and the CPU hour for all your companies varying processing needs.*Product Explanation:
Intel: Zeon + 2 Ram per processor, Max hours per month 700,000 @ .64 cents per CPU hour.
I:Z+2 700,000H @ .64$

AMD: MP –1 Less than 1 gig ram per processor, 140,000 Max hours per month @ .32 Cents per CPU hour.
A: M-1 1400,000H @.32$
