Lenovo unveils TruScale HPC as a Service
Lenovo Infrastructure Solutions Group (ISG) recently concluded its Winterstock event and unveiled Lenovo TruScale High Performance Computing as a Service (HPCaaS), delivering the power of supercomputing to organizations of all sizes through a cloud-like experience. The new high performance computing (HPC) as-a-service (aaS) offering expands Lenovo’s everything as–a–service TruScale portfolio and enables HPC customers to access greater supercomputing resources, driving a faster time to answer for researchers working on solving humanity’s greatest challenges.
Sumir Bhatia, President – APAC at Lenovo ISG, said, “Lenovo’s TruScale HPCaaS provides customers the flexibility, reliability, and performance to meet the ever-growing workload requirements and intelligently drive innovation. Our new offering will revolutionize the way research institutions access and leverage technology to gain faster insights, solving humanity’s greatest challenges. This launch is a big leap towards becoming the trusted partner of choice.”
Cloud-based HPC is the fastest growing segment of high-performance computing, and on-demand resource consumption provides more efficient and scalable computing resources to meet workload requirements. The typical HPC cluster runs at nearly full capacity, with rapidly increasing demands for compute and storage cycles and little room for additional workloads. Lenovo TruScale HPCaaS delivers additional capacity that allows research institutions to better compete for grants while gaining faster insights. The technology provides rack-level resources that are critical to drive innovation across multiple sectors, including academia, pharma, manufacturing and healthcare.
New Possibilities with TruScale HPC as a Service
TruScale HPC as a Service maximizes HPC cluster resources and controls shared access through a simple, pay-per use, model that is managed and supported by Lenovo. With technology that is installed right at the customer data center, HPC workload managers can dynamically access and provision resources on-demand. Additional cluster resources can be obtained through “push-button” access, which allows businesses to utilize additional computing, storage and acceleration capabilities as needed.
As a global leader in High Performance Computing, Lenovo is working closely with key industry partners to develop, integrate, and deploy the technologies that deliver exascale-level computing to organizations of all sizes, or what Lenovo refers to as From Exascale to Everyscale. Whether its studying climate change under the arches of the Torre Girona in Barcelona or predicting weather patterns that protect coastal communities at North Carolina State University, Lenovo’s award-winning HPC solutions are helping researchers across the globe push the boundaries of what is possible and tackle some of the world’s greatest challenges. With the new Lenovo TruScale HPCaaS, any organization can have immediate access to additional compute, storage and acceleration with more HPC resources available on-demand.
A practical and flexible approach to HPC
Lenovo TruScale offers organizations of all sizes the flexibility they need to stay competitive with a scalable, cloud-like consumption model and predictable payment options for hardware and service inclusions, maximizing the return on investment and accelerating time to value. TruScale for HPC gives customers the flexibility to add provisioned resources rapidly, without being hindered by procurement delays or supply chain disruptions.
With Lenovo TruScale HPCaaS, customers have extensive capabilities to scale their supercomputing requirements as needed:
- Pay for what they consume with no hidden costs
- Easily scale HPC clusters by removing resource limitations
- Run applications at scale without architectural bottlenecks
- Translate capital investments into operational expenses, avoiding long and intensive budget cycles and procurement delays
- Manage budgets and visualize consumption and billing through Lenovo’s TruScale Portal
- Access to specialized hardware.
