RCH Solutions teams with REvolution Computing to deliver Commercial High-Performance Statistics Solutions Increased Productivity for HPC Users

New Haven, CT October 1, 2007 – REvolution Computing, the leading commercial provider of software and support for the R statistical / business intelligence tools, and RCH Solutions, a leading industry-focused solutions provider, today announced a strategic partnership to sell and deliver complete out-of-the-box solutions.  The partnership will leverage the companies’ complementary expertise and empower them to optimize the capabilities of R for commercial and high-performance applications.

“The strategic partnership between REvolution Computing and RCH further enhances our collaboration in providing software and support to those customers that wish to extend the capabilities of R for computational statistics.  We are excited about working with a great organization to facilitate the deployment of their software due to the explosive use of R in Life Sciences, financial services, communications and manufacturing,”  said Michael Riener - V.P. and Partner of RCH Solutions.

REvolution Computing software products enable scientists, analysts, engineers, and researchers to utilize R, and other scripting languages such as Python and Matlab, in a commercially-supported, high-performance manner.  Out of the box, existing applications and algorithms can automatically leverage computing resources on workstations, SMP’s, and clusters.  REvolution delivers the benefit of cluster computing without the traditional effort and cost of implementing cluster solutions. 

parallelR is a powerful open source software package that makes it easy to use clusters from within increasingly popular scripting languages like R and Python.  While these scripting languages are powerful and flexible development tools being used by millions of people, they are inherently slow.  Clusters with easy to use parallelization tools will provide a real boost to scripting language performance.

Additionally, parallel R Pro is offered by subscription. It includes services and support along with the software.

“For the typical R user, we’re talking about typical performance increases of well over 1000%, in certified commercial deployments.  This is a critical breakthrough for compute-intensive algorithms and large datasets.  Working with RCH solutions, our clients benefit not only from our software technologies, but also from the hardware, configuration support, and on-site development services that RCH delivers.”  Said Richard Schultz – CEO of REvolution Computing.
