HPC system managers can leverage the benefits of cloud for their traditional HPC environments. Incorporating HPC Cloud into an HPC system enables you to meet workload demand, increase system utilization, and expand the HPC system to a wider community. =0A=0AExtended ROI and opportunities include:=0A Scale to support application and job needs with automated workload-optimized node OS provisioning=0A Provide simplified self-service access for broader set of users reducing management and training costs=0A Accelerate collaboration or funding by extending HPC resources to community partners without their own HPC systems =0A Enable showback/chargeback reporting for actual resource usage by user, group, project, or account=0A Support using commercial HPC service providers for surge and peak load requirements to accelerate results=0A Enable higher cloud-based efficiency without the cost and disruption of ripping and replacing existing technology SUMMARY:HPC Cloud ROI and Opportunities Cloud Brings to HPC PRIORITY:3 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR BEGIN:VCALENDAR PRODID:-//Microsoft Corporation//Outlook MIMEDIR//EN VERSION:1.0 BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20121113T180000Z DTEND:20121113T183000Z LOCATION:155-C DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: Advancing cloud technology presents opportunities for HPC data centers to maximize ROI.
