High Performance
HPC without limits: scale, save, and innovate in the Cloud.
High-Performance Computing (HPC) leverages powerful clusters of processors working in parallel to process massive datasets and solve complex computational problems at high speed. HPC is critical in Financial Services, Life Sciences, Energy, Automotive, Aerospace and Weather & Climate Modelling.
Why Move HPC To The Cloud?
If you’ve faced challenges with traditional on-premises HPC setups—such as long execution times, high capital expenditures, maintenance burdens, and limited agility—you’re not alone. The good news is that with the growth of compute capacity and services on AWS, you can now run your HPC workloads more effectively and at a lower cost in the cloud.
Benefits
- Outcompete Traditional Setups: Our HPC solutions consistently outperform on-premises clusters. This means you can gain a competitive edge in your computational tasks without being constrained by fixed-capacity clusters or outdated technology.
- Elasticity and Scalability: With AWS, you can allocate dedicated resources for every workload. Whether you need to run hundreds or millions of parallel processes for calculations or simulations, our solutions provide the flexibility to meet your demands in insurance, investments, and asset management.
- Risk Mitigation: You can evolve and adapt without the fear of your on-premises infrastructure becoming obsolete or underutilised. Evaluate the best price/performance options before making any transformative migrations.
- Cost Flexibility: Gain clear insights into your HPC cost structures. Take advantage of optimised low-cost Spot instances, run multiple workloads in parallel, explore various what-if scenarios, and only pay for what you actually use.
- Insights at Your Fingertips: We implement user-friendly dashboards that give visibility into your clusters, jobs, and workloads. Our observability solutions ensure that your engineering teams have complete insight into operational health.
- Compliance Made Easier: We help you navigate security and regulatory compliance by leveraging the AWS Shared Responsibility Model. This strategic approach reduces the effort required to meet compliance standards.
