Voice of the User –Tabor Research achieves its differentiation by activating the voice of the user in the HPC community. Our passion to understand the motivations, challenges, and preferences that drive user behavior is what creates value in our market intelligence service. If you’re a vendor, it can be the difference between knowing what your prospective users bought last year and what they’ll be buying three years from now. If you’re a user, it means your opinions are driving the future of HPC development.

Until today, most market research has been supply-side focused, providing statistics such as revenue, units, or market share. This creates a snapshot of a market at a moment in time, but these static images don’t tell a story. Comprehensive market intelligence requires an integration of demand-side data, user-centric research that puts the picture of the market in a dynamic context.

Research Outside the Box –Our 360-degree research approach applies as much to the technologies themselves as it does to the organizations creating, selling, and using them. Just as we consider multiple perspectives in analyzing the direction of the industry, we also take a broad view toward the products and features that comprise a high-productivity computing environment.

The dramatic shift toward clusters of industry-standard building blocks has moved more and more differentiation outside the base server platform. File systems, accelerators, programming models, debuggers … all of these, and many more, are part of the productivity equation. By supplementing the InterSect360 advisory service with additional comprehensive research studies, Tabor Research offers you access to the research you need to guide your own path to HPC success.
