This causes isolated resources unable to support other users, workloads and projects. This presentation explores how Cloud computing can offer a new infrastructure approach and delivery model for compute intensive requirements. By applying cloud principles to established HPC and technical computing infrastructures, silos vanish and shared computing resources can be applied on a project-by-project basis, maximizing the operational efficiency of existing clusters. Isolated computing resources are transformed into a centralized high performance computing environment that supports the demands of technical users. This enables on-demand access through your secure, private HPC Cloud resource pools — servers, storage, applications and services—that can be rapidly provisioned and deployed with minimal management, providing performance, efficiency, flexibility and collaboration, and scaling within your own infrastructure base.
