Scala Computing, Inc announced today that it has achieved Amazon Web Services (AWS) High Performance Computing (HPC) Competency status. This designation recognizes that Scala Computing has demonstrated deep experience helping customers optimize their HPC workloads for performance and efficiency using AWS’s elastic and scalable cloud infrastructure.
AWS launched the AWS HPC Competency to allow customers to easily and confidently engage highly specialized AWS Partners that provide technology offerings for faster innovation, better agility, and flexibility in areas such as genomics, computational chemistry, financial risk modelling, computer-aided engineering, as well as emerging applications such as deep learning, and autonomous driving. The AWS HPC Competency takes on the heavy lifting of identifying and validating industry leaders with proven customer success and technical proficiency.
Achieving the AWS HPC Competency differentiates Scala Computing as an AWS Partner with deep domain expertise in the HPC Management category.
"Scala is proud to be one of the first AWS Partners to achieve AWS HPC Competency status," said Sam Rahman, Co-Founder & CTO. "Our team is dedicated to helping enterprise clients achieve their business transformation goals by leveraging the agility, breadth of services, and pace of innovation that AWS provides."
AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises.
