Lenovo (HKSE: 992) (ADR: LNVGY) today 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 enables customers to pay for the IT infrastructure they use in a monthly as-a-service payment model. The enhanced Lenovo TruScale offerings ensure that HPC deployments are delivered by the HPC Professional Services team, who are experts in end-to-end ownership of HPC deployments through project management of the delivery of TruScale for HPC hardware for service and implementation. Once deployed, a dedicated HPC Systems Admin team takes over to proactively monitor hardware and software application services to improve performance and cluster availability.
This new Lenovo TruScale capability provides a consumption-based model with an innovative HPC-exclusive measurement capability based on compute resources (cores, memory, GPU, storage, licenses, etc.) used by HPC jobs. This is in addition to the flat subscription pricing offered as part of the original TruScale for HPC solution. It uses Lenovo Intelligent Computing Orchestration (LiCO) for usage metering and billing. LiCO also supports REST API to enable integration with customer or third party automation.
With built-in services, enterprise-level security, and flexible purchasing options, the new Lenovo TruScale for HPC offerings are now available to meet the requirements of HPC centers that require as-a-service options to deliver services to their users in a simple, cost-effective way. It also makes it easier to operate, maintain and update the cluster environment in the future.
“With Lenovo TruScale, our customers can confidently plan for the future, knowing they have the flexibility and scalability they need to succeed in an ever-changing business landscape,” said Dale Aultman, vice president & general manager of Infrastructure Solutions Group Services, Lenovo “Lenovo Measured TruScale for HPC with built-in professional HPC services, offers a tailored offering to customers seeking cloud-like flexibility and scalability in an on-prem package. Users can maintain the speed and security needed to innovate at scale.”
Current heightened inflationary pressures and increased focus on data center sustainability have impacted technology planning and operations; business leaders around the world seek viable options for cost optimization HPC business models have historically been a largely on-premises-centric delivery model, with long procurement cycles, higher upfront costs, with a cycle of managing, renewing and decommissioning hardware. Lenovo TruScale makes it easy to install, operate, manage, and scale on-premise HPC infrastructure in a cloud-like model with dedicated technical specialists and HPC system administrators managing the hardware, so teams can stay 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 requirements is extremely valuable to any HPC environment. TruScale’s new measurement capabilities for HPC, combined with Lenovo HPC hardware management, give customers more control over their resources, budgets and time.”
Lenovo Metered TruScale for HPC is immediately available in the following markets: US, Canada, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, UK, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore and South Korea.
