Public Sector Tech Talk E23: How to Successfully Integrate High-Performance Computing into the Public Sector Business

Details

Event Overview

In the past, only a chosen few public sector agencies and enterprises – those with deep pockets and the most advanced data and analytics requirements – had access to high-performance computing (HPC) solutions. Today, data lives everywhere. HPC has become integral to doing business – from predicting hurricanes and delivering clean water to manufacturing safe, efficient vehicles and developing and executing COVID vaccines and clinical trials. How do public sector entities integrate HPC into legacy infrastructures in a timely, cost-efficient manner without creating silos? What role do Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and the edge play in deploying the infrastructure needed to solve today’s and tomorrow’s most complex problems? This episode offers insight into these and other questions about HPC in the public sector.

What to expect

In virtually every public sector operating environment, HPC should be considered table-stakes. Agencies and enterprises require fusion computing solutions that seamlessly incorporate the latest AI, IoT, and the edge with HPC to create a fully-integrated powerhouse where the whole exceeds the sum of the parts. They also need to understand how to identify and implement these solutions optimally. During this episode, subject matter experts from WWT and HPE will discuss:

Why HPC is fundamentally tied to the business, and why it cannot sit in isolation
The Golden Medallion – How to successfully bring HPC, AI, and the edge together
The Iron Triangle – How organizations can optimize for solution price, performance, and access/reliability simultaneously
Tips for leveraging legacy infrastructures while transitioning to next-generation fusion computing platforms

Goals and Objectives

After viewing this episode, you will understand more about why HPC is integral to the success of public sector agencies and departments, the latest advances in HPC, how to incorporate HPC into legacy operating environments, and how to create fully-integrated fusion computing solutions that bring together HPC, AI, IoT, and the edge to best address functional and performance requirements across public sector programs.

Who should attend?

Public sector IT and HPC professionals that are looking to learn about emerging technologies and drivers shaping the future of government. This series is geared towards those developing and executing solutions that address the unique challenges faced by government agencies. In this case, a focus on HPC, along with AI, IoT, and the Edge.
