High-performance computing (HPC) is the ability to process data and perform complex calculations at high speeds delivering performance and scale. This discovery briefing introduces HPC technologies, products, solutions and key partners to deliver solutions that best meet an organization's needs.

Today's businesses rely on rich data-driven decisions to help them achieve their goals, but the explosion of data and the need to analyze it as close to real-time as possible is challenging even the most powerful legacy systems. This need is driving technological innovation in the areas of chip design, computation, storage, and networking, allowing businesses to re-think how they architect and operate infrastructure for data-intensive workloads. This briefing explores modern data-intensive workload technologies, products, and solutions to help identify which solutions work best to meet an organization's needs.

High-performance computing (HPC) is the ability to process data and perform complex calculations at high speeds delivering performance and scale. Artificial intelligence (AI) and HPC high performance architectures are converging. Some analytics workloads do better with HPC rather than standard compute infrastructure. While some AI frameworks are intended to be executed on desktop or workstation architectures, there are certain situations where ultra-fast, high-capacity HPC scale up approaches are preferred. Scale up and out are the domain of HPC.

Infrastructure Automation is the cornerstone that allows IT to provide consumable infrastructure for development and application teams inside your organization. Automation is also key to reducing toil and having engineering and operations teams focus on important work and driving your business into the future. However, for many, getting started with Automation can seem like a daunting task, and prioritizing where to start can be a difficult decision.
