We have a long history of being an early adaptor of leading edge computing technology. We have amassed considerable experience in defining appropriate technological solutions and the knowledge necessary to construct most of the computation systems we have employed in support of data management and analysis. ASETS has assembled the following general server infrastructure in support of current and future projects. Currently, we house 15 servers in support of daily life.
