Business Challenges

  • Fast expansion of computing volume, raising high requirements on performance
    Research institutions are facing increasing computation, complicated applications and low flexibility in their sophisticated scientific researches.
  • High investment cost and long lead time
    HPC, Infiniband switches, etc. require a high CPAEX. Resources designed for peak workload are underused during off-peak hours. And delivery may take several months from planning to launch.
  • Fast hardware update and iteration, and complex expansion deployment
    Equipment is seriously aging and hardware is updated quickly, which will soon be unable to meet the needs of scientific research and computing. System architecture is complex, making it difficult for capacity expansion.
  • Difficulty in self-maintenance and high O&M cost
    Clusters need to respond in time without downtime. With the development of supercomputing in universities, cluster nodes expand gradually, which requires a large number of skilled O&M technicians.
