Research and Markets: Cloud Computing in High Performance Computing: Usage and Types

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e2a043/cloud_computing_in) has announced the addition of Intersect360 Research's new report "Cloud Computing in HPC: Usage and Types" to their offering.

“Cloud Computing in HPC: Usage and Types”

Intersect360 Research conducted a survey of High Performance Computing (HPC) users regarding their adoption of cloud computing resources. This study sought to understand the adoption of cloud computing for HPC applications, as well as the barriers, drivers, and rationales for using or evaluating cloud resources.

The goal of this study is to help the HPC vendor community understand the size of the cloud opportunity in HPC and guide them in the development of products and services to meet the needs of HPC users who choose to adopt cloud.

This report explores cloud system usages and types.

Our major findings include:

• There is greater interest in evaluating private and hybrid cloud systems than public cloud systems. For organizations evaluating cloud types, multiple types are under consideration.
• Hybrid cloud systems may demand new kinds of contracts that spell out ownership and possession of HPC assets and responsibilities for HPC cloud system operations.
• For organizations implementing public, private, and hybrid cloud types, pure-play choices dominate the distribution. These HPC organizations are early adopters and apparently choose an approach to pursue.
• The private cloud type holds the greatest share at this time. HPC sites with larger budgets favor the private cloud type.
