I work in computational physics, more specifically on the development of new or improved materials and electronic devices. Always I am in the need of more computer power. I have been very pleasantly surprised when recently, PRO SYS announced their new facility Cloud Computing as a Service. I found PRO SYS HPC as a Service excellent as regards the computational power, flexibility of the service, and technical assistance. Best wishes for the future, PRO SYS!
The HPC you need, in just 4 hours!
Do you run applications such as ANSYS, CATIA, or Solidworks and want more performance? In just 4 hours you can move any workloads to PRO SYS HPC as a Service and finish your work faster, easier, and with lower costs! PRO SYS HPC as-a-Service is the simplest, fastest, and most efficient way to access a High Performance Computing cluster configured according to your specific needs.
Do you have complex simulations to run, analyses of large volumes of data, or workloads that exceed your computing capacity?
Your organization needs an HPC cluster but do you have neither the funds nor the necessary skills and experience de built (to build) such a cluster?
Are you participating in a project (with private or Eu (EU) funding) in which the use of an HPC infrastructure is a mandatory condition, but you don’t have the necessary facilities?

Why ”Infrastructure as a Service” is getting market attention
Essentially, the ”Infrastructure as a Service” concept promotes access versus ownership and Opex versus Capex.
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is a standardized, highly automated offering in which computing resources owned by a service provider, complemented by storage and networking capabilities, are offered to customers on demand. Resources are scalable and elastic in near real-time and metered by use. Self-service interfaces, including an API and a graphical user interface (GUI), are exposed directly to customers. Resources may be single-tenant or multitenant and are hosted by the service provider or on-premises in a customer’s data center. This approach provides the end users with flexibility when it comes to using different types of IT infrastructure (including HPC), while also providing complete administration support. According to Gartner Worldwide investments in IaaS grew 41.4% in 2021.
