Lenovo Expands TruScale for HPC Offering with New Metered Capabilities
Lenovo announced a new option for a metered TruScale
model, designed specifically for a High Performance Computing (HPC) as a
Service solution, that shortens procurement cycles and allows customers to pay
only for the IT infrastructure they use in a monthly as-a-service payment model.
The enhanced Lenovo TruScale offering ensures HPC deployments
are delivered by its HPC Professional Services team, who are experts in
end-to-end ownership of HPC deployments by project managing the delivery of
TruScale for HPC hardware to service deployment. Once deployed, a dedicated HPC
Systems Admin team takeover to proactively monitor the hardware and software
applications services to improve performance and cluster availability.
This new
capability from Lenovo TruScale offers a consumption-based model with an
innovative HPC exclusive metering capability based on compute resources (cores,
memory, GPU, storage, licenses, etc.) used by HPC jobs. This is in addition to
the fixed subscription pricing offered as part of the original TruScale for HPC
solution. It leverages Lenovo Intelligent Computing Orchestration
(LiCO) for usage metering, and billing. LiCO also supports REST API to allow
integration with customer or third-party automation.
With
built-in services, Enterprise-level security, and flexible procurement options,
the new Lenovo TruScale for HPC offering is now available to meet the
requirements of HPC centers needing as-a-service options to deliver services to
their users in a simple, cost-effective manner. It also makes it easier to
operate, maintain and update the cluster environment going forward.
“With
Lenovo TruScale, our customers can confidently plan for the future knowing they
have the agility and scalability they need to succeed in a constantly evolving
business landscape,” said Dale Aultman, Vice President & General Manager of
Infrastructure Solutions Group Services, Lenovo “Lenovo Metered TruScale for
HPC with built in HPC professional services, provides a tailored offering to
customers looking for cloud-like flexibility and scalability in an on-prem
package. Users are enabled to maintain the speed and security needed to
innovate at scale.”
The
current raised inflationary pressures and increased focus on datacenter
sustainability has affected technology planning and operations; business
leaders the world over are seeking viable options for cost optimized HPC operating
models are traditionally a largely on-premises-centered delivery model, with
long procurement cycles, higher upfront costs, with a cycle of managing,
refreshing, and retiring hardware. Lenovo TruScale makes it simple to install,
operate, manage, and scale on-prem HPC infrastructure in a cloud-like model
with dedicated technical specialists and HPC systems admins managing hardware
to allow teams to remain focused on innovation.
“HPC
customers demand a lot from their systems because their users demand a lot from
them” said Scott Tease, Vice President and General Manager of HPC at Lenovo.
“Being able to seamlessly scale a cluster to meet those user demands is
extremely valuable to any HPC environment. The new metering capability of
TruScale for HPC, combined with Lenovo HPC hardware administration, will give
customers greater control over their resources, budgets, and time.”
