Azure HPC: 4-Week Proof of Concept (PoC)

Oakwood's HPC on Azure 4-Week Proof of Concept (PoC) offers a compelling opportunity for organizations to experience firsthand the transformative potential of Azure's high-performance computing capabilities. Embarking on a PoC acts as a tangible testbed, allowing organizations to visualize and understand how Azure HPC would integrate with and elevate their specific workflows without committing to a full-scale implementation. This hands-on exploration, guided by the nuanced expertise of Oakwood, ensures that the solution is tailored to the organization's unique challenges and objectives.

This PoC dramatically reduces the risk associated with cloud transitions. By creating a controlled environment where Azure HPC solutions can be tested, refined, and validated, organizations can confidently move forward, knowing that the proposed solutions align with their requirements.

WHAT TO EXPECT:

• Scope: We'll work together to choose a representative workload or application, meaningful to the client, to showcase Azure's HPC capabilities. Here we will identify VMs, storage, and/or other Azure resources to control costs and complexity.

• Setup: Our Team will deploy a subset of Azure HPC components relevant to the PoC and use sample datasets, preferably provided by the client, to make the PoC results more relevant.

• Execution: We'll assist the client in migration and execution of one of their workloads in the HPC environment. Our Team will monitor and analyze performance metrics, resource utilization, etc.

• Comparison: Assist client in providing a comparison of the same workload or application running in the client's on-premises environment. Highlight improvements, scalability, and cost-efficiencies.
