People sometimes talk about wholesale and hyperscale data centers. They talk about co-location data centers. But there is not sufficient attention today paid to the data center that is made for dense, high-performance hardware. The high-performance computer (HPC) cluster, after all, is the engine of today’s big data and AI-driven industries. The data centers that […]
As HPC adoption increases across industries and verticals, some companies face a difficult challenge. Their workload demands an upgrade to HPC, but their budget and staffing seems more suitable to a low cost, low maintenance and high convenience cloud offering. Yet the nature of their business and competitive marketplace may also require all the rigorous […]
Many companies overspend on data center resources, but — don’t cry! — that doesn’t need to be you! As a data center provider, we here at Advania Data Centers understand that no one customer is the same – and that each company has its own unique needs for uptime and security. To reflect that, we […]
Taking HPC Applications to the Cloud Manufacturing and engineering today is a software-driven field. Designing products entering the marketplace – with their suites of electronics, sensors, composite materials, 3D printed components, and customization requirements – requires engineers to use a range of high-end computer-aided engineering and manufacturing applications packages like ANSYS®. Yet leveraging applications like […]
We created our HPC Profile series as a way for you to get to know our HPC Team and, of course, Advania Data Centers, a little better. So, following a non-stop June, we wanted to slow things down this month and take a moment to reflect on our history, and what better way to look […]
If a person could custom-make the ideal environment for hosting a data center, the exercise would probably wind up constructing a place that looks a lot like Iceland. From its robust and modern power infrastructure to its cost-competitive, reliable and 100% renewable electricity to its chilly climate that cuts data center cooling costs to extremely […]
From today’s big data to CAE to AI and machine learning workloads, high performance computing (HPC) is in high demand. But some companies’ and organizations’ budgets do not have the CapEx available to deploy a new HPC cluster — or to add HPC resources to their already burdened HPC cluster. Advania Data Centers (ADC), a […]
At ISC 2018 in June, Advania Data Centers (ADC) hosted an invitation-only event for strategic partners, key customers and potential customers to discuss the state of HPC and how ADC can best navigate the emerging trends in the HPC marketplace. Discussion centered around ADC’s innovative cloud HPC offering HPCFLOW. However, one of the most […]
When developing our HPCFLOW cloud-based HPC service, Advania Data Centers worked closely with leading technology companies like HPE to ensure that our HPCaaS offering would meet all of our HPC customers’ requirements. As the HPC market leader, HPE was very well aligned with our strategy and offered both the right technology and data center […]
June has been an exciting and busy month for our team, from ISC 2018 to the launch of our SaaS for ANSYS offering and webinar. With so many highlights, we are thrilled to continue our HPC Team Profile series by catching up with Jón Þór Kristinsson, our Technical Director, who has been a driving force […]
