Dell EMC, a worldwide leader in information capture and management technology and PaperFree partner, has been making recent strides in their product offerings and has announced a lineup of new high performance computing (HPC) products designed for integration into the cloud. These advances into software, systems, and customer results serve to make high performance computing available for enterprises of all sizes, all while improving the technology and ultimately making it more easily available. “The global HPC market forecast exceeds $30 billion in 2016 for all product and services spending, including servers, software, storage, cloud, and other categories, with continued growth expected at 5.2 percent CAGR through 2020,” said Addison Snell, CEO, Intersect360 Research. “Bolstered by its combination with EMC, Dell will hold the number-one position in total HPC revenue share heading into 2017.”
HPC products that were announced include:
- The Dell EMC HPC System for Life Sciences will be available with the PowerEdge C6320p Server with the Intel® Xeon Phi™ processor by early Q1 2017. This accelerates results for bioinformatics centers to identify treatments in clinically relevant timeframes while protecting confidential data.
- New cloud bursting services from Cycle Computing, enabling cloud orchestration and management, connecting to the three largest public cloud services including Azure, AWS and This allows customers of all sizes to most efficiently utilize their on-premises systems while seamlessly providing access to the vast resources of the public cloud for HPC needs.
- Dell EMC will offer customers the Intel® HPC Orchestrator this quarter to help simplify the installation, management and ongoing maintenance of high-performance computing systems. Intel® HPC Orchestrator, based on the OpenHPC open source project, can help accelerate customers’ time to results and value in their HPC deployments.
Additionally, Dell EMC announced that one of their high-powered HPC systems will be installed in MIT's Lincoln Laboratory Supercomputing Center. The system will consist of a 648-node HPC system that features an Intel Xeon Phi processor, over one petaflop of processing speed, and an overall quadrupled computing capacity boost over the center's previous ability. This supercomputer will be used for research in the areas of space observations, robotic vehicles, cyber security, machine learning, sensor processing, electronic devices, bioinformatics, and air traffic control.
