Information Technology

Fargo Moorhead has evolved into a global destination for software development, embedded systems and smart technologies -- and we aren't slowing down.

We have all the ingredients for starting or expanding an information technology (IT) company:

• Intelligent, innovative, and committed workforce talent
• Sophisticated, reliable and redundant telecommunications infrastructure and support
• A growing cluster of IT companies that fosters synergistic, intellectual-based sharing and cooperation
• Pro-business government bolstered by a low-cost business environment
• The Center for High Performance Computing (CHPC) at North Dakota State University, which provides scientific computational resources to the NDSU research community and its partners to enable new discovery.  Its specifications include a 96-node/192 processor distributed-memory Cluster, SGI Altix 3300 shared-memory Server, and a Oracle Server.  Exciting research has been conducted by a wide range of university faculty, students and corporate partners, including: development of DataMINE, a data mining software system; performance of quantum chemical calculations; and multiscale and three-dimensional modeling.
