HP Enterprise exhorts enterprises & organizations to adopt HPC Solutions-as-a-Service through HPE GreenLake
HP Enterprise has accelerated mainstream enterprise adoption of high performance computing (HPC) by offering its HPC solutions as a service through HPE GreenLake. The new HPE GreenLake cloud services for HPC allow customers to combine the power of an agile, elastic, pay-per-use cloud experience with HPC systems from HPE. Now, any enterprise can tackle their most demanding compute and data-intensive workloads, to power AI and ML initiatives, speed time to insight, and create new products and experiences through a flexible as-a-service platform that customers can run on-premises or in a colocation facility.
The new offering removes the complexity and cost associated with traditional HPC deployments by delivering fully managed, pre-bundled services based on purpose-built HPC systems, software, storage and networking solutions that come in small, medium or large options. Customers can order these through a self-service portal with simple point-and-click functions to choose the right configuration for their workload needs and receive services in little as 14 days.
Peter Ungaro, Senior Vice President & General Manager, HPC and Mission Critical Solutions (MCS), HP Enterprise, said, “The massive growth in data, along with Artificial Intelligence and high performance analytics, is driving an increased need for HPC in enterprises of all sizes, from the Fortune 500 to startups”. “We’re transforming the market by delivering industry-leading HPC solutions in simplified, pre-configured services that control costs and improve governance, scalability and agility through HPE GreenLake. These HPC cloud services enable any enterprise to access the most powerful HPC and AI capabilities and unlock greater insights that will power their ability to advance critical research and achieve bold customer outcomes”, added Ungaro.
HPC On-Demand goes mainstream
The high performance computing provides massive computing power, along with modeling and simulation capabilities, to turn complex data into digital models that help researchers and engineers understand what something will look like and perform in the real world. It also provides optimal performance to run AI and analytics to increase predictability. These combined capabilities are used to solve challenges from vaccine discovery and weather forecasting to improving designs of cars, planes and even personal and consumer products such as shampoo and laundry detergent.
According to Intersect360 Research, the HPC market will grow by more than 40 percent, reaching almost $55 billion in revenue by 2024, to support ongoing data growth, including data from emerging applications and endpoints, such as AI training models and edge devices, to efficiently process and analyze data. However, traditional deployment and management of HPC systems is costly, complex, and resource-intensive. Top concerns involve system costs, operational costs related to power and cooling, and lack of skilled HPC technical staff, according to Hyperion Research.
HPE is dramatically simplifying this experience by speeding up deployment of HPC projects by up 75 percent and reducing capital expenditures by up to 40%1 by offering its world-leading HPC portfolio through HPE GreenLake cloud services. Enterprises can deploy these services in any data center environment, whether on-premises in their own enterprise or in a colocation facility, and gain fully managed services that allow them to pay for only what they use, empowering them to focus on running their projects to increase time-to-insight and accelerate innovation.
HPE will initially offer an HPC service based on HPE Apollo systems, combined with storage and networking technologies, which are purpose-built for running modeling and simulation workloads. The service also leverages key HPC software for HPC workload management, support for HPC-specific containers and orchestration, and HPC cluster management and monitoring. HPE plans to expand the rest of its HPC portfolio to as-a-service offerings in the future.
The power of TWO
The HPE GreenLake cloud services provide customers with a powerful foundation to drive digital transformation through an elastic as-a-service platform that can run on-premises, at the edge, or in a colocation facility. HPE GreenLake combines the simplicity and agility of the cloud with the governance, compliance, and visibility that comes with hybrid IT. The business group has grown to more than $4 billion in total contract value, supporting various customers across the globe, including recent wins with Kern County in California, Nokia and YF Life Insurance International Ltd.
Similarly, HPE’s HPC offerings continue to be favored for a range of HPC needs, helping HPE become number one in HPC market share to date, according to the Hyperion Research HPC Vendor Server Market Share data. HPE’s HPC business recently gained momentum to fuel research and other R&D initiatives for customers such as NASA, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory, Pawsey Supercomputing Centre in Australia, Stony Brook University, and the European High Performance Joint Undertaking.
In the meantime, organizatios have started reapening benefits adopting this combined solution. Zenseact is such a company that uses HPE’s HPC solutions as-a-service through HPE GreenLake for modeling and simulation capabilities to analyze the hundreds of petabytes of data it generates globally from its network of test vehicles and software development centers. The solutions help fuel Zenseact’s mission to model and simulate autonomous driving experiences to develop next-generation software to support driver safety.
