London, United Kingdom (December 13, 2016) – BIOS IT, a global IT consultancy and solution provider, will exhibit at CIUK in Manchester, UK from December 14th-15th. As part of its exhibit, BIOS IT will be demonstrating its HPC on Demand capabilities, made possible by its partnership with vScaler Ltd - which vastly speeds up the process of standing up an OpenHPC cluster from what would usually take days, weeks or months to mere minutes.

The HPC on Demand demo will showcase vScaler’s prowess in the cloud services industry, by spinning up an OpenHPC Cluster, running an MPI application and then bringing down the cluster again – all within a 6 minute (approximate) time frame – a feat which on bare metal alone could take up to 2-3 days* to complete (not taking into account time taken to procure hardware).

“vScaler gives our clients the ability to deploy and manage HPC environments with on demand parallel file system creation within their own datacentres and when demand dictates, off-premise as well.”

Hardware configuration has been a barrier to the wider adoption of HPC in the cloud; the main ‘public cloud’ providers, such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, have – understandably -- invested in commodity hardware that is adapted to commercial and business computing needs, but is unfortunately less well configured for high performance computing. The main differentiation with vScaler is that its platform was designed from the ground up with HPC as its core focus and as a result it incorporates the appropriate hardware for tightly coupled HPC workloads out of the box.

Thanks to the partnership with vScaler, BIOS IT can now provide optimised HPC solutions and services for the cloud. This collaboration adopts a hybrid approach, featuring an appliance for an on premise private cloud that is tightly integrated with a public platform for burst capabilities.
