Platform Computing Focuses on Bursting to the Cloud as Needed
Company offers three solutions to seamlessly cloud burst HPC application workloads.
Platform Computing has outlined three solutions designed to simplify the path to the cloud, enabling HPC customers to easily handle unpredictable workloads, take advantage of external cloud resources when internal resources are unavailable, and push workloads to the external cloud based on priority and required resources. Using Platform Computing’s cloud bursting solutions, HPC customers can implement HPC cloud environments that are optimally configured based on their requirements, according to the company.
“Platform Computing’s work to simplify the complex work-stream and resource provisioning to the cloud promises to give users access to the vital computing resources they need to conduct their research projects. This is particularly critical to individual developers and smaller teams who often have very large jobs that require hyper-scale computing capabilities,” says Donnie Bell, senior manager, High Performance Computing Solutions, Dell Inc. “The ability to leverage the massive amount of instantaneous cycles within the ‘cloud,’ with tools uniquely optimized for that environment, is a huge leap for everyone throughout the scientific and research communities.”
