Introducing HPCFLOW
Power Your HPCEngineered by industry-leading experts and purpose-built for high performance computing, HPCFLOW delivers an elastically scalable HPC experience like no other
Elastic OPEX consumption of HPC as a Service
Full HPC stack support with dedicated HPC experts
Drive your competitive edge with on-demand HPC resources
Operating Europe’s largest data center campus, Advania Data Centers is no longer just a data center provider. In recent years it has built up one of Europe’s leading HPC solution portfolios, including the world’s most innovative, flexible and advanced HPC as a service (HPCaaS) offering — called HPCFLOW.
HPCFLOW is a purpose-built HPC cloud, engineered by experts for HPC professionals. Flexible, powerful and secure, HPCFLOW provides on-demand access to HPC resources, whenever needed. You pay only for what you use, whether for a dedicated cluster (HPCFLOW Solid), peak-demand scaling cloud capabilities (HPCFLOW Flex) or a combination of the two (HPCFLOW Hybrid). Advania Data Centers’ dedicated team of HPC engineers and architects is always on call to help provide you with deployment and operation, ensuring supercharged productivity 24/7 with no queues to execute HPC jobs. The result is maximum flexibility, reliability, security and scalability.
A key benefit of HPCFLOW is that it does not require capital expenditure and allows you to bring new HPC resources online using only operating expenses. This ensures that you can avoid the added time your organization may require to secure CAPEX budgetary line items – and can react nimbly to changing business needs in order to drive your innovation to the next level.
01
As a flexible and scalable HPC solution for rapid adoption of high performance compute and storage, HPCFLOW represents a future-proofed step toward the next generation of HPC.
With a subscription to HPCFLOW, you can work with ADC to procure, set up, host, maintain and support an HPC cluster based on your own specific needs. These clusters are cloud-hosted bare metal for maximum flexibility, and allow you to add nodes quickly and easily to accommodate seasonal workloads or bursting needs. Just as importantly, HPCFLOW eliminates high upfront investments in HPC infrastructure by allowing you to only pay for what you use when you need it – a “pay as you go” plan for your HPC operations.
High Perfomance Cloud Computing
Taking HPC to the Future
Advania Data Centers recognizes that hands-on operational management of HPC resources is essential. As a result, we provide you with a range of tools to ensure that your HPC solution always meets your individual needs.
Easily Accessible HPC Resources
HPCFLOW's technology stack is based on OpenStack, a proven solution for cloud computing. Depending on the customer's needs, provisioning is available for both bare metal HPC and virtual machines. We also have a range of HPC containerized software solutions available – including ANSYS and Numeca – with no setup, tuning or tweaking needed (SaaS). For storage, HPCFLOW offers both central storage with tenant isolation and object storage for long-term data, all within its HPE-powered high-performance computing clusters.
HPCFLOW's high-speed interconnect is based on Intel's Omni-Path Architecture with tenant isolation and features 100Gbit connectivity for HPC workloads. However, clients accustomed to InfiniBand, with software libraries based around Mellanox architecture, can rest assured that their software will also run with ease on HPCFLOW.
Innovation Underpinned by Proven Technology
• HPCFLOW’s self-service portal provides flexible user and project management, including network creation and management, provisioning of compute nodes for bare metal and VMs, object storage and network file system (NFS) shares.
• HPCFLOW customers have the option to use application programming interfaces (APIs) to automate their HPCFLOW experience and schedule workloads.
• Advania Data Centers customers have access to UberCloud’s production-ready software containers with full GUI capabilities, providing a no-learning-needed cloud experience and access to a range of HPC software applications
• Our team of HPC experts are on-hand to help around the clock with issues surrounding cluster creation, set up and management, including performance validation and tuning assistance as well as application support.
