HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING
High Performance Computing services are currently in increasing demand in many different areas.
Crash testing, weather forecasting, engineering design, simulation, fluid dynamics, mathematical, statistical and financial analysis are just a few of the applications where this need is most keenly felt.
Unfortunately, the design, implementation, management, and especially the tuning of an HPC cluster can require an unsustainable investment in both economic and human terms, even when its adoption could be critical to the company’s business.
BE.iT offers HPC solutions in both Private Cloud and Public Cloud.
In the former case, BE.iT’s design team will gather the customer’s needs, make the necessary estimates in terms of hardware and technologies to be adopted (CPU only or hybrid solutions using nVidia or AMD accelerators), interface with the relevant vendor’s HPC team, and implement a tailored solution.
This solution can be installed on premise or, in one of BE.iT’s (or its partners’) Data Centers in Switzerland, where it will be monitored and maintained 24/7 by our staff.
The Client will only need to submit calculation jobs via a convenient Web portal.

Use of the most innovative technologies
Installation at Customer site or in Private Cloud
HPC Service in the Public Cloud
Direct relationship with the vendor’s HPC team
Extensive experience in Open Source environment
QUANTUM COMPUTING
Quantum computing systems are the cutting edge of computer science research.
At present, commercial systems are limited to products from Canadian D-Wave. These are state-of-the-art systems but are not general purpose computers.
They are built to solve optimization algorithms based on Quantum Annealing. If the problem, even if it is NP-hard, can be traced back to one solvable by Quantum Annealing, such a computer can solve them in a very short time.
The problem with D-Wave, in addition to the purchase cost, which can be quantified at several million euros, is both the lease (which must stottost to rather stringent requirements) and the power consumption due, especially, to the fact that it operates at extremely low temperatures.
Fujitsu has unveiled a groundbreaking system that can be seen as a point of contact between quantum computing technology and current technology.
The result is a revolutionary computer, called Digital Anenaling, about the size of a 2U server, running in a traditional datacenter, with cooling requirements equal to those of cun common servers, also usable as an exclusive or shared cloud service, which makes up to 8192 qubits available for solving Quantum Annealing problems.
BE.iT is now the only Fujitsu-authorized partner for Switzerland that can propose and implement solutions based on Digital Annealer. We are available to both provide specific solutions and POC.
