IBM unveils high performance computing cloud offerings for enterprises
Technology firm IBM, US, has announced new high performance computing (HPC) cloud offerings to help clients tackle advanced scientific and technical computing workloads like analytics, simulations for product development, climate research and life sciences.
The HPC cloud offerings are projected to allow clients to link computing resources across their organisations into a single, high performance, private cloud while providing system administrators the flexibility to set priorities based on business or technical needs.
According to a paper written by Lawrence Berkeley Lab as part of its Magellan Project, in order for cloud computing to be cost efficient for scientific use, clouds must be optimised for scientific applications. IBM is currently the only major vendor to offer a private cloud solution tuned for HPC users, according to the company.
By knitting disparate systems together into one centralised resource, clients can expect to gain easier access to more computing that can be used to support their most important business priorities. For instance, instead of segmenting computing resources by department, life sciences organisations can now pool systems from across the organisation. They can then devote the systems as needed to their most pressing, intensive projects like drug discovery or analysis of massive amounts of genomic data without the need to seek outside resources.
