HPC Cluster: Remediation & Modernization at a Large Academic Medical Center
Overview A leading academic medical center with an established on-premises HPC environment faced mounting challenges across reliability, stability, performance, and day-to-day operations. Researchers, computational scientists, and clinical research teams who depended on the cluster for biomedical and data-intensive scientific workloads were experiencing persistent disruptions, and the existing infrastructure could no longer keep pace with the […]
What We’ve Learned Working With Academic Medical Centers: 5 Research IT Challenges That Keep Coming Up
1. Research infrastructure often grows faster than the strategy behind it.Clusters, storage, cloud accounts and specialized systems accumulate over years. Eventually the organization isn’t just dealing with old technology; it’s dealing with an environment that no longer reflects how researchers actually work. 2. “Move it to the cloud” isn’t a research computing strategy.Some workloads belong […]
