Finally, after a quite busy start, I found time to create the first version of
Most scientific projects are highly specific and original.
Each project's set of scientific applications, workflows, data, resources, accounting, billing, security and energy related constraints make it unique.
In this regard, becoming cloud-agnostic while remaining user-friendly comes with extra system architecture challenges.
Experts capable of covering such a broad scope are rare. This is precisely what Impact HPC loves to bring, either on our own or along with highly skilled partners.
Let's meet and discuss your project
Your goals, constraints, costs and risks around your cloud HPC
Solution architecture and technical / system blueprint
Advise how to build & run your solution (with partner teams)
While cloud computing and traditional HPC share a few common concepts (such as scale-out clustering), their many divergences can be difficult to handle.
Because HPC was born decades before cloud computing, trying to adopt the cloud's value proposal (pay-per-use, web user interfaces, elasticity, and identity federation to name a few) continues to be a complex move, be it private, public or hybrid.
To make this possible, numerous enablers (technologies and skills) have to be understood and carefully selected to match the customers' business requirements and available technologies while still supporting all of the exotic supercomputing prerequisites.
The main top-level enablers are listed hereafter and can be analyzed, integrated and adapted to handle sustained production.
