June 25, 2020 – Oxford, UK – NAG announces a Cloud HPC Migration Service, designed to meet the growing need for deep HPC expertise in cloud migration. With this service, NAG combines high performance computing experience with new cost-performance optimization approaches to help users adapt complex HPC workloads to the cloud. A registered partner of Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud, NAG will support customers in achieving optimal cost-to-solution.
The reasons for moving to the public cloud are numerous – access to a wider variety of hardware, reduced CAPEX, and less on-site support, to name a few. HPC has been slow to make the move, but last year Hyperion Research noted that cloud adoption had reached a “tipping point”, with users estimating that up to 40% of HPC workloads could move to the cloud.
“We’re seeing a lot of clients decide that now is the right time to move HPC workloads to the cloud,” said Adrian Tate, CEO of NAG. “The access to increased variety of hardware is a great thing, but it can amplify inefficiencies which will eradicate your cost advantage. With decades of real HPC experience, up-to-date cloud credentials, and deep partnerships with the big three cloud providers, we understand the overall HPC cloud migration problem in a way that others can’t.”
NAG’s Cloud HPC Migration Service is provided stand-alone or through the cloud partner networks of Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.
Nidhi Chappell, Head of HPC & AI Products at Microsoft Azure said “Microsoft Azure HPC is a uniquely focused set of cloud solutions purpose-built for the demands of HPC. Partners like NAG, who bring genuine expertise in both HPC and cloud, are immensely valuable in helping our customers make a smooth and successful migration of their HPC workloads to the cloud.”
Since 1970, NAG has been providing industry-leading algorithms and HPC services to scientists and engineers around the globe. The company offers the NAG Library – the most rigorous and robust collection of numerical algorithms – along with advanced products in Algorithmic Differentiation, PDEs, and Quantitative Finance. The company’s HPC and Cloud Consulting Services are highly regarded by industry, government, and academia. Its new Cloud HPC Migration Service will add much-needed HPC expertise to the cloud migration challenge.
