Bright Computing and ProfitBricks have joined forces to offer an elastic high performance computing (EHPC) solution to speed up deployment of clusters and save costs with a pay-per-use model. The new offering combines ProftBricks’ IaaS with Bright Computing’s infrastructure management tech to offer a fully-scalable way of managing the infrastructure to power data-intensive workloads.
Supporting both traditional HPC and HPC-based Big Data analysis with Hadoop or Spark environments, ProfitBricks and Bright Computing’s solution allows enterprises, research institutes and universities to have a more flexible approach when running analysis. “Cloud-based solutions are increasingly appealing as they offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional on-premise solutions," Petra-Maria Grohs, CSO EMEAA at ProfitBricks said. "Infrastructure is no exception and we are excited at the level of interest we are seeing in moving HPC and Big Data environments into the cloud, in order to unlock cost and time savings.”…
It also saves on costs because customers only need to ramp up resources when they are needed and they will not be charged for less data-intensive projects. Clusters are automatically adjusted according to demand, making it a more elastic way of handling workloads…
