Testimonials
Darren Mills, IT Manager TAG Worldwide
“We have a relatively small in house IT team and so we have to rely on companies like OCF to help manage our cluster – this enables us to focus on core non cluster related IT projects. OCF is fantastic. We approached OCF when our previous IBM business partner failed to deliver the standards we required in relation to expertise and service. OCF came along like a breath of fresh air; its knowledge of all things IBM – server, storage and software is unrivalled. The OCF team is totally refreshing in their approach and we are seeing the benefits of that investment – it is reassuring to know we have OCF on our side. To have access to the highest level of expertise fills us with confidence; they are flexible, knowledgeable and their support is unrivalled."

"Nallatech's HPC team has worked closely with IBM to integrate their FPGA-based Computing Solutions with IBM's System X product range. As an IBM channel partner OCF has supported Nallatech with the timely supply of IBM server equipment and a professional and friendly technical support service"
Dr Oz Parchment The University of Southampton
"We selected OCF plc after a very competitive European Tender process. OCF were responsive and flexible to our requirements for a multi-stage procurement and deployment of the University's main HPC facility. We were particularly impressed with the open and frank discussions we were able to have with OCF. Within the HPC arena we rely on OCF to assist us in separating the wheat from the chaff"
Robert Harris CCAS Ltd
"Today's (June 2006) audit confirmed that OCF plc continues to maintain an ISO 9001:2000 compliant Quality Management System. The organisation continues to demonstrate highly effective quality system management and good use of modern technology, in particular the practice of scanning all relevant documents and incorporating these into an electronic job folder for ease of review. The organisation is well resourced, has effective management commitment and has a friendly, communicative & knowledgeable workforce"
Terry Hudson MERI Senior Team Leader Sheffield Hallam University
"Our relationship with OCF plc is more of a technology partnership , rather than a commercial one. I feel that OCF understand our requirements, and as and when new technology becomes available OCF are quickly presenting us with the features and benefits to help us make plans for the future expansion of the cluster. The level of service and support that we have received from OCF over the last few years has been second to none. As a result of our relationship with OCF, our users throughput has increased exponentially, which in turn increases the reputation of the department in the Materials Research community"
Dave Nuttall Systems Manager The Northwest Institute for Bio-Health Informatics
"OCF have been very supportive throughout this solution - we have had strict deadlines to meet which OCF have helped us achieve. The solution was based on IBM hardware using a wide variety of software used from IBM's Scholars Program"
