HPC Cloud represents a shift toward flexibility in the way companies utilize high performance computing environments. The main difference is that with HPC Cloud, computational needs are met by the purchase of CPU hours rather than CPUs. This provides engineers and development planners the privilege of essentially a “pay as you go” plan. Gone are the days of making appeals to management for the large amounts of capital needed to purchase a in-house cluster. Instead, only small amounts of money are needed to start a new project and processing power can be rapidly increased. HPC Cloud is an attractive solution to the costly problems associated with owning and supporting a large computer cluster.

Sabalcore supports CAE
Sabalcore Computing Inc. is a leading provider of High Performance Computing Cloud services for small- to medium-sized organizations. Design engineering customers use the service in much the same way as they traditionally would with an in-house cluster solution, but Sabalcore allows them to forgo the costly task of purchasing and managing a HPC facility themselves. Sabalcore customers can run virtually any software application, whether it be open-source, commercial, or internally developed. Some of the popular CAE applications used with Sabalcore HPC Cloud include ANSYS, STAR-CCM+, CFD++, and OpenFOAM.

Leverage Technical Experience
Using a High Performance Computing Cloud service has many benefits over purchasing or leasing hardware. Foremost, initial costs are reduced dramatically. By treating CPU hours as a consumable commodity, budgeting and planning become much easier and more flexible. A company not only gets access to high performance hardware (such as Infiniband), it also gains the experience and knowledge-base of its HPC service provider. Sabalcore offers its customers more advanced and technically challenging solutions to their unique problems, thereby saving them time and money. By using an HPC Cloud provider such as Sabalcore, a customer reduces risks,  has access to it’s knowledge-base and technical experience, and saves time and money.
