Tabor Research Adds Dr. Christopher Willard to HPC Focused Research Team

News Release: Tabor Research

HPC Industry Veteran and Former IDC Analyst Joins High Productivity Computing Research Group as Senior Research Consultant





SAN DIEGO — March 13, 2007 — Tabor Research Inc., (www.TaborResearch.com) recently established to provide independent market research and consulting advisory services for High Productivity Computing (HPC) communities, today announced it has added Christopher Willard, Ph.D., as Senior Research Consultant to the research team. Willard, a 25-year HPC industry veteran and former Research Vice President for High Performance computing at IDC, will report to Addison Snell, Vice President and General Manager of Tabor Research.

“It’s a distinct honor and privilege to have Chris Willard as part of our research organization,” said Snell. “Chris adds a substantial portfolio of skills to our team and provides our clients with a mountain of thought leadership to draw upon. No one else has as much experience at providing valuable insights to the HPC community.”

Differentiating itself from other HPC research and advisory practices, Tabor Research is focused on delivering actionable market research with a focus on productivity. Its research will go beyond the system level to investigate how users acquire and manage complete HPC environments.

“It is invigorating to join the experienced and forward-looking team that Tabor Research has assembled. It is particularly exciting given that HPC technology has reached a turning point, becoming both ubiquitous and a major driver within its traditional realm of scientific enquiry and engineering design, and at the same time beginning to expand into computationally and data intensive applications within the enterprise,” said Willard. “I believe that Tabor Research is in a unique position to help both users and vendors define and benefit from the growth of HPC across its expanding spectrum of technologies, and applications.”

As a senior research consultant with Tabor Research, Willard will lead the integration of supplier and user data in a forward-looking market intelligence subscription service called InterSect360™. With his assistance, Tabor Research will also conduct frequent comprehensive research studies in topics of interest to the HPC community, along with offering a range of client-specific services, including perception surveys, white papers, and go-to-market consulting advisory services.

Willard can be reached at Chris.Willard@TaborResearch.com.
