High-Performance Computing

Universities play a major role in the scientific research team in China. For the Education Informationization 2.0, the basic requirement for them on the scientific research is to build a public computing platform supporting complex and high-performance computing services, providing HPC-based research and teaching practice for faculties and achieving the sharing of research results. To address the requirement, H3C Group owned by Unisplendour Corporation Limited released a new generation of complete and flexible high-performance computing solution.

H3C's next-generation, complete, and flexible high-performance computing solution

Universities have always played a pivotal role in basic scientific research and technological innovation. According to Opinions on Expanding the Scientific Autonomy of Universities and Research Institutes released by the Ministry of Science and Technology and other five ministries of PRC, universities and research institutes are a leading force in implementing innovation-driven development strategies and building an innovative country as they engage in exploratory and creative scientific researches and possess unique advantages in knowledge and talents.

However, the construction of high-performance computing platforms in universities is a challenging and extremely complex systematic project, which requires comprehensive planning of the scenarios of scientific research and computing for various departments and disciplines of the universities. For existing HPC user communities, including schools of materials science, life sciences and others, the platform needs to continue to provide stable, high-speed, highly compatible, and parallel computing solutions with stronger computing power and larger storage capacity. Many universities put forward higher requirements for the built-in artificial intelligence platform to support "AI + interdisciplinary". In addition, universities need to deal with multiple unpredictable requirements in the computing environment for scientific research, which requires the platform to possess capabilities of flexible deployment and rapid delivery.

Based on accurate insight into the industry and years of deep and constant exploration in the field of education digitalization, H3C Group has created a new high-performance computing solution for science and education covering four layers: "infrastructure + cluster system + application environment + application".

Constant empowerment makes H3C the ideal partner for HPC construction in universities

As a new generation of high-performance computing solution for science and education released by H3C Group, it can meet various requirements on strong hardware computing power and storage capacity of high-performance computing, user-friendly AI delivery capability, cloud computing capabilities of on-demand access to resources and convenient management in scenarios of scientific research and computing, empowering universities to achieve innovation in scientific research. The solution can also help customers promote unified construction, cost reduction, unified management, flexible scheduling for different scenarios, on-demand distribution, various applications, and resource integration.

As soon as the solution was released, it stood out from its peers in the market and became an ideal partner for multiple universities. The reason is closely related to the highlights of the solution. The first highlight is the cutting-edge designs of the product and solution. The H3C solution is top of the rankings of the TOP500 and Green500. It has achieved strong brand recognition in the market for its computing performance and energy-saving, which makes it a great brand of constructing the HPC system. The second is that the integrated and comprehensive solution and product possess excellent integration services from the construction of basic hardware facilities to the scheduling management software of a high-performance computing platform. Besides, the solution is equipped with a highly competitive x86 blade server. According to IDC research reports, the product ranked among the top blade server sales in 2019 for its sales revenue and sales volume.

With comprehensive and excellent technical advantages, the high-performance computing solutions for science and education released by H3C Group present great performance in the scenarios of scientific research and computing cluster at Tsinghua University, Wuhan University, Southeast University, China University of Petroleum and many other universities across China. Consequently, H3C has played a major role in supporting the construction of high-level scientific research institutes including key universities.

Universities have become one of the main places for making achievements in scientific research and academics. By implementing the "AI in ALL" Smart Strategy and the "Digital Brain Project 2020", H3C Group will continue to upgrade the digital solution, empower universities in scientific research, and help them take over technological advantages in the industry with increasing competition worldwide. H3C will explore a new direction of industrial development and provide strong technological support.
