HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
Tech focus: cloud
THE LATEST CLOUD COMPUTING TOOLS AND SERVICES
Cloud computing provides a platform for scalable and quick
access to high-performance computing infrastructure that can be beneficial for organisations that either need to scale quickly, or that do not want to invest in computing hardware. Quick access to HPC-
like infrastructure can deliver speed and agility for critical workloads, or enable organisations to accelerate the time to deliver scientific insights. Cloud computing can
also be used to manage infrastructure investment by enabling organisations to under-provision internal resources which can then be supplemented by using cloud resources in times of high demand. This can reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of computing resources by using internal resources more effectively. As cloud services
have matured, they now provide access to the networking, storage and compute resources which are a prerequisite for HPC workloads. With the use of bare
metal resources or carefully constructed virtualisation technologies, cloud providers have created a large variety of services which cater to different performance and cost requirements.
