Building The Case for HPC
Traditionally upfront costs of HPC hardware were the main focal point for investment. However, it’s essential to recognise that HPC is much more and a successful business case requires a more holistic approach. We help you identify the value proposition on HPC and the benefits brought to your organisation:
- Increased Revenue Projections: HPC accelerates product development cycles, allowing you to bring innovative products to market faster and capitalise on new opportunities.
- Reduced Costs: HPC simulations can optimise designs, leading to more efficient products and reduced manufacturing costs. Additionally, faster data analysis allows for proactive maintenance and prevents costly downtime.
- Enhanced Decision-Making: HPC empowers data-driven decision-making across the organisation. Faster access to insights from complex data empowers leaders to make informed choices that drive strategic advantage.
- Improved Efficiency: HPC streamlines workflows, optimises resource utilisation, and accelerates computational tasks, leading to significant efficiency gains across your operations.

FAQs
Use our HPC Maturity Scale to benchmark your organisation against the industry. Undertaking this exercise will highlight areas of potential strength and weakness in your organisation’s HPC solution including the value of the investment and use in high performance and research computing.
Building a strategy around HPC and research computing is not a simple capital investment. It requires an understanding of the use and reach of research computing in an organisation including a nuanced view of capital investment versus operational expenditure. Other vital elements of a strategy and its success are a total cost of ownership (TCO) model, lifecycle management, user training, and associated support structures.
This process is the culmination of a lot of preparation and analysis of requirements which allows an organisation to understand the value of HPC as well as the costs. Knowing which strategy and the scale of the investment over a realistic period is vital. HPC system lifetimes are measured on the order of five years and investments in datacentres, mechanical and engineering elements are of course managed over considerably longer cycles.
Predictably the answer is “it depends”, but improvements in observed productivity and enhancements from improved scientific fidelity can be be relatively quick (3-12 months). A more realistic assessment of return on investment as part of a longer term strategic investment requires a typical horizon of 3-5 years.
