Commitment to Your Satisfaction
PSSC Labs is an acronym that stands for Professional Service, Super Computers. Our mission is to bring a superior level of service and support to a commodity based industry. Too often end user's technical issues are pushed aside while companies focus solely on corporate profits. PSSC Labs offers an alternative to the traditional computer company by focusing on problem solving not just shipping low cost systems. With over 15 years in business, the company has the technical knowledge, industry contacts and financial strength to resolve any issues that may occur. In fact, PSSC Labs commitment to support is so great that the number of Cluster and Support technicians on our staff outweighs the number of salespeople by a margin of greater than 2:1. This commitment to customer satisfaction has earned PSSC Labs the respect and admiration of many clients. Please take a look at our Endorsements section to see what current PSSC Labs clients feel about us. We believe our clients are actually our best sales people.
Commodity Hardware Combined with Open Source Software
As the High Performance Computing (HPC) arena evolves, PSSC Labs stays true to the formula that drives this market. This formula consists of combining commodity based hardware components with open source software. The first Beowulf Linux Clusters created in 1994 evolved from a desire to break away from proprietary hardware and expensive software offered by the traditional supercomputer manufacturers. PSSC Labs stays true to this philosophy. Our goal is not to lock you into just using our products. We feel that our performance optimization combined with our superior level of service and support are the true value adds that we bring to the market. We are certain that you too will feel the same.

Financial Security
PSSC Labs is 100% owned and operated by it's employees. Our company philosophy is to first support our clients and then worry about growth. Therefore all cash reserves are first used to resolve any issues that may occur. Our current financial position can allow us to support all of our clients for up to three years even if we did not receive another order. This financial security is something that our competition can only achieve through multiple rounds of funding. And once you have accepted funding from outside sources, the priority ships from resolving customer issues to meeting the financial obligations of those outside sources.
Facility
With over 27 tons of air conditioning and seventy 20 AMP power circuits, PSSC Labs' integration facility can accommodate the largest HPC clusters. This facility is extremely important because it allows PSSC Labs to conduct all hardware assembly, burn in testing and software integration in house. There is absolutely NO out sourcing of any work. As many of our competitor's look to save cost by outsourcing important tasks such as system integration and hardware testing to third parties, PSSC Labs feels it is important to take control of the entire process from system assembly to final testing.
