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 
• 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 Computationally Assisted Science & Technology (CCAST) 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.
