11. What is Cloud Computing?

12. 12
What is Cloud Computing? Simplified, Scalable
Resources and Usage
Cloud computing is a model of deploying, managing and using network-
connected computing and storage resources that enables
 Flexible provisioning and scaling
 Optimal usage of resources through
virtualization or containers
 Failover/redundancy/resiliency
 Multiple models/levels (e.g. SaaS) for different needs
 Increased collaboration
 On-demand usage scaling
 Cost optimization, flexible pricing models

13. 13
Cloud Computing: Public, Private, Hybrid.., Oh My!
• Public cloud providers like Microsoft, Amazon, and others provide compute and
storage resources to anyone, charge by usage
• Private cloud solutions are deployed by companies and institutions for their sole
usage, and are often referred to as on-prem (“on premises”)
• Managed services/ecosystem: these are systems managed and provided on pay-
per-usage or dedicated pricing models (and now exist for HPC e.g. R Systems)
• Hybrid cloud solutions provide all the benefits of local/on-prem/private cloud
solutions, and enable leveraging managed or public cloud solutions
For HPC, public cloud solutions are limited in features compared to Dell HPC solutions,
and thus on scalability and performance on HOC workloads. However, Dell private and hybrid
HPC cloud solutions can be designed for optimal effectiveness for Dell customers

• Virtualization making inroads into HPC areas such as life
sciences, electronic design automation, financial services, Big
Data, and digital media
• VMware vSphere now runs on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
– AWS (and other public clouds) Amazon Web Services already offers
some HPC capabilities, and is useful for some loosely-coupled
simulations, high throughput computing, and large-scale data analysis
– Amazon recently announced (9/30/16) new AWS EC2 instances with up
to 8 NVIDIA K80 GPUs (very effective for some HPC applications)
