High-Performance Computing (HPC)

In the past, high-performance computing (HPC) was seen as more of a must in science and large companies. But in the age of digitalization, the prospects, opportunities and options offered by HPC have improved significantly – especially for small and medium-sized companies. As a result, HPC is becoming ever more important there, too. The constantly growing flood of data and the ever greater available performance per euro spent have made high-performance computing affordable even for small and medium-sized companies. A sensible addition to the IT infrastructure, their targeted use in fields like big data analytics, simulations and even machine learning and artificial intelligence unlocks new business models and value chains.

More and more new IT technologies are entering the market, confronting companies with the challenge of procuring the most useful technology for their specific tasks at that precise moment. Before procurement, it is essential to take a comprehensive look at current and upcoming technologies. This goes both for hardware and software and for operative approaches. We offer our expertise in advance of any procurement, working with you to examine various technologies independently and to develop tailored solution scenarios. This relates to issues such as hardware sizing, systems management, monitoring, rollout, HPC schedulers and HPC tool chains.

SVA has a global network of partners in the IT industry – from CPU and GPU technologies with Power CPU, x86, ARM, CUDA, RoC and openCL, to systems from all well-known manufacturers and storage solutions such as IBM Spectrum Scale, BeeGFS and Lustre. We use the expertise gained from close collaboration with each of these to provide you with well-founded, independent consultancy on high-performance computing.

Typically for SVA, we also use the expert knowledge and practical findings from other SVA competence centers to offer you a holistic solution for your task, be it in data science and artificial intelligence, big data analytics, agile IT, cloud computing, Spectrum Scale or the innovative new field of quantum computing.
