Rescale has selected IBM Cloud as a preferred cloud computing provider in ways to expand its global HPC infrastructure network. By running Rescale’s simulation and comprehensive learning platform on the IBM Cloud, engineers, data scientists, CIOs, and IT experts gain greater global reach, flexibility, and performance for their data and graphics-intensive workloads.
Rescale’s platform offers a software library of over 180 simulation and machine learning applications that tackle the toughest big data and big compute IT impediments. Organisations can now utilise Rescale’s turn-key SaaS platform in any IBM Cloud Data Centre worldwide. This also includes running popular deep learning and AI software packages by offering unlimited, pay-as-you-go access to the latest GPUs, allowing organisations to remain on the cutting edge of R&D. Rescale on IBM Cloud enables impeccable access and utilisation of HPC resources in the cloud. This enables engineers and data scientists to redouble efficiency and time to market and offering IT executives increased visibility and control over the full-stack environment.
According to Marc Jones, Distinguished Engineer, IBM Cloud Infrastructure, “IBM Cloud is helping democratize HPC. We’re not just breaking down the financial barriers to entry; now, with Rescale, we’re also making this raw compute power accessible and easy to use.”
Organisation can now pick IBM’s bare metal cloud servers enabled with the latest NVIDIA GPU capabilities to be in line with the technical and performance requirements of applications in data mining, machine learning and simulation. IBM’s GPU-enabled servers can be spun up on an hourly basis, granting companies granular control and scalability over their private, public or hybrid cloud environments. Rescale also plans to extend its support to IBM POWER-based server capabilities next year.
The Rescale solution is a mechanism for companies running HPC workloads in a broad range of sectors such as life sciences and genomics, computer-aided engineering and manufacturing, electronic design automation and semiconductors, and financial services.
Joris Poort, Co-Founder and CEO at Rescale said, “Most of the IT innovation that is happening today is with a cloud-first model. We’re building a platform that can satisfy and accelerate the ideas of the world’s top scientists and thinkers. From automotive design to drug discovery and even actual rocket science, we’re empowering our customers as leaders in their respective fields, to accomplish more and innovation faster.”
