The Critical Balance Between the Cloud and On-Premise Environments: Factors for Consideration in the Race to Future Proof HPC & AI Infrastructure Services

In this session, Guy D’Hauwers, will address the mounting question over when the time is right for organizations to transition from the public cloud or from On-Premise HPC & AI infrastructure to hybrid, and HPC as a Service environments. Guy will outline the five key factors that organizations must consider to future-proof their HPC&AI infrastructure services and succeed in this Fourth ‘Data’ Revolution: • Understand the objectives and journey of your organizations’ HPC&AI needs alongside your company ethos, customer needs, competitive USP, and benchmarks for success. • Prioritize innovation at the core of your business to drive innovation, performance, cost savings, efficiencies and to meet today’s increasingly critical sustainability initiatives. • Time to market is the difference between success and failure – ChatGPT is just one example of how fast innovation moves – organizations that can’t innovate, scale, and adapt at speed will die at a much faster pace than we have previously known. • Storage may not seem cutting-edge but advancements and innovation in how data as the new ‘GOLD’ is explored will have profound effect on the infrastructure and play a crucial role in today’s HPC&AI environments. • The differences between high-performance computing and power-efficient computing – can the two live harmoniously and what are the factors for consideration, from sustainability to climate conscious decisions? Join Guy in this session to address how to balance your HPC&AI workloads between the Cloud and On-Premise environments at the right time, against the backdrop of today’s increasing competitive playing field.
