The rapid evolution and deployment of AI, machine learning and deep neural network technologies are placing intensive demands on compute. To support this, hpcDIRECT is designed to specifically cater for the extreme algorithmic workloads characterised by AI.

hpcDIRECT provides the perfect mix of latest specification compute on a reserved and flexible, on-demand basis. Bare metal servers (with a selection of GPUs) together with storage (shared or dedicated), fast interconnects and enhanced data transfer are offered via a secure and ultra low carbon cloud.

• Reserved – HPC infrastructure designed and delivered to specification, within a minimum one-month SLA.

• On-demand – Enabling an existing hpcDIRECT customer to rapidly access additional compute and storage at peak times.

Deployment

hpcDIRECT can be deployed through a reserved or on-demand model providing an agile, flexible and highly scalable HPC service:
