IBM leads top supercomputers list

Hardware firm IBM was declared the leader in the recently-released India's Top Supercomputers list for 2011, compiled and published by Supercomputer Education and Research Centre (SERC), Indian Institute of Science. Of the 16 installations featured by SERC, IBM topped the list with six high-performance computing installations across India, a press release from the firm stated.
According to the survey, Bangalore leads the list in the number of supercomputers, followed by Chennai.
Cloud security
Seventy-six per cent of Indian firms find security a significant challenge to implementing server virtualisation, according to security firm Symantec's 2011 Virtualization and Evolution to the Cloud Survey. One in two respondents also said security concerns reduced confidence in placing mission-critical applications on virtualised servers.
Furthermore, reduction in datacenter (storage) requirements was a goal for 93 per cent of the respondents, but reached by only 33 per cent, a release from the firm stated.
