OXFORD, UK \u2013 15 November 2023 \u2013 n<\/i><\/span>AG, the leading algorithms and supercomputing services company, today announced the launch of its Virtual Supercomputer Managed Service (VSMS). Backed by n<\/i><\/span>AG\u2019s long track record of providing world-class managed HPC services, this innovative new service de-risks and simplifies HPC access for industrial clients across all sectors with a unique combination of cutting-edge technology and subject matter expertise.<\/p>\n

For over a decade n<\/i><\/span>AG has managed wholesale HPC operations for industrial clients, and more recently, extensive cloud migration of industrial workloads. These experiences have revealed that, while there is a rising need for HPC simulation, clients increasingly encounter difficulties and challenges due to lack of expertise, increasing infrastructure complexity, and unpredictability of workloads. These challenges lead to project overruns, staffing constraints, spiralling costs and reduced scientific output.<\/p>\n

n<\/i><\/span>AG VSMS removes the burden of meeting complex computational requirements from the client, and instead satisfies those requirements through a service level agreement. Underpinning the service is a powerful provisioning, management and maintenance platform. However, clients instead interact with a user-friendly and customisable simple web interface, that automates job and workflow execution, cluster provision and maintenance, and cost management. Meanwhile n<\/i><\/span>AG experts will customise, tune and maintain on-demand clusters from Google Cloud Platform (GCP) on behalf of clients, ensuring scalability and efficiency are maintained while cost are kept within budget.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been seeing the same messages from industrial users of HPC for some time\u201d<\/em>, said Adrian Tate, CEO of n<\/i><\/span>AG, \u201ctheir scientists and engineers are doing less science and engineering and more managing of their computational environments. This leads to inefficient results, higher project risk, increased costs and ultimately, lower output. With VSMS we put the burden of HPC back into the hands of HPC experts, who design and provision scalable clusters tailored to client needs but accessed in the easiest manner possible. Clients will see higher scientific output with lower overall cost and lower project risk\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

By adopting n<\/i><\/span>AG VSMS, clients will see:<\/p>\n
