Huawei Releases HPC Cloud Solution 2.0

[Frankfurt, Germany, June 22, 2017] At ISC17, Huawei
released the public-cloud-based HPC Cloud Solution
2.0. Compared with the previous version, this version
has been enhanced in performance. HPC Cloud
Solution 2.0 is co-developed by Huawei and Mellanox
based on InfiniBand and is the first HPC public cloud
solution providing 100 Gbit/s EDR computing network
capabilities in the industry. In addition, this solution
uses high-performance local storage to improve the
overall HPC computing performance and instant data
erase and storage encryption to enhance security. The
HPC solution will be firstly rolled out on Open Telekom
Cloud, a public cloud platform jointly provided by
Huawei and Deutsche Telekom in Europe.

Multiple years' of in-depth cooperation between
Huawei and Mellanox enables Huawei IT infrastructure
and cloud computing to provide industry-leading
interconnection performance. At ISC17, Huawei
showcased the HPC Cloud Solution developed based
on the OpenStack architecture. HPC performance is
achieved using high-performance Elastic Cloud Servers
(ECSs), Bare Metal Service, and heterogeneous
computing acceleration, InfiniBand-based 100 Gbit/s
EDR computing network capabilities, as well as parallel
file system storage capabilities. The application of
these technologies enables the HPC Cloud Solution to
provide an efficient, open, secure, and flexible service
model in the HPC industry.
Gilad Shainer, Vice President of the Mellanox
Marketing Department, said, "To maximize the
performance of HPC and cloud agility, HPC clouds
require innovative high-performance networks.
Mellanox InfiniBand plays a leading role in the world in
CPU offloading and network computing and fully
supports virtualization. As a leader in the HPC
interconnection industry, we are pleased to cooperate
with Huawei for constructing a leading-edge HPC
public cloud platform to deliver HPC applications on
clouds and offer future-oriented HPC solutions for
users."
Sun Jiawei, Director, IT Business Development Dept,
Huawei, said, "Sticking to openness, cooperativeness,
and win-win, Huawei continuously adheres to cloud
services as the corporate strategy to assist customers
in business success. We are pleased to cooperate with
Mellanox in HPC public cloud solutions, helping
Huawei further enhance Huawei public cloud
capabilities based on Mellanox's advanced
technologies in the HPC interconnection industry and
provide more choices for customers. This cooperation
will accelerate cloud-oriented transformation for
industrial customers and assist enterprises in
continuous innovation in HPC services."
Andreas Falkner, Deutsche Telekom responsible for
Open Telekom Cloud, summarized, "The public cloud is
the perfect fit for all customers demanding short-term
powerful computing capacities. With the new HPC
