Complete HPCaaS environment.
Ready to go when you are!

We’ll get you running fast. No need to set up your own systems for job queuing, file sharing or security. We enable the HPC, leaving you to focus on the science.

• Job scheduling – Your job is queued, submitted, and managed throughout its cycle on the cluster.
• High-performance file system – VAST SSD solution.
• Custom monitoring system – Monitors dozens of system properties and automatically addresses many maladies, including black-hole mitigation.
• Rolling maintenance – We never hit you with whole-system downtime.

Security is our highest priority.

We understand that security is your top priority, which is why we guarantee that you have complete control over your data at all times.

Here’s how we ensure security:

• Secure access – Access to the HPC Cloud is via SSH, ensuring that your data is encrypted during transit.
• Multi-factor authentication – An additional layer of security to prevent account takeover.
• Bare metal – No virtualisation, and only one customer uses any single piece of hardware at a time.
• ISO27001 certified – Our security posture is based on industry-recognised standards.

We tailor the compute package that works best for you.

We can customise the best HPC solution for your needs. We run and offer all these machines as standard.

• CPU
• GPU
• KNL
  
• All systems are on a 10+ Gbit high-speed Ethernet fabric.

We are experts in ‘big data’ storage.

Our experience in processing and imaging seismic data means our storage systems have been created to manage some of the largest datasets in the world. We offer HPC storage and online archive products.

• Our VAST SSD storage architecture is designed specifically for flash, eliminating many of the compromises in systems designed for spinning disks.
• This all-flash system offers unmatched bandwidth, IOPS, reliability and efficiency.
• Our online archive storage system stores massive amounts of data while keeping it fully on-line and readily available.
• We offer online archive, data retrieval within 2 hours and deep archive, data retrieval within 24 hours.
