Silver Offering HPC Proof of Concept in the Azure

Silver Tier HPC & AI Proof of Concept in Azure

A Comprehensive Engagement for Organisations Beginning Their Journey into Cloud‑Scale Compute

The Silver Tier HPC and AI Proof of Concept provides organisations with a structured and practical pathway into evaluating Azure’s High‑Performance Computing and AI capabilities. Ideal for teams exploring cloud‑based compute for the first time, this tier enables you to test up to two real workloads, validate performance expectations, and understand how Azure services—such as CycleCloud and Azure Batch—can support your computational needs.

This engagement is delivered by our HPC and AI consultants who work closely with your technical team to guide early exploration and ensure your PoC environment is configured effectively for meaningful evaluation.

What Our Experts Will Deliver

Our consultants will support you through a clearly defined technical engagement that includes:

• Cloud Readiness Assessment
  A high‑level review of your current environment and workloads to determine suitability for running HPC or AI workflows in Azure.

• Workload & Data‑Gravity Guidance
  Support in understanding how data movement, size, and location may affect performance and cost as test up to two workloads to the cloud.

• Storage Option Recommendations
  Identification of suitable Azure storage services to meet your performance, throughput, and capacity requirements.

• PoC Design, Build & Deployment
  Deployment of a tailored Proof of Concept that enables you to test the performance and functionality of your HPC or AI workloads within Azure.

• Benchmarking & Usage Insights
  Analysis of performance, utilisation, and cost behaviour to help you understand optimisation opportunities and your path towards next‑phase adoption.

Who This Is For

The Silver Tier is ideal for:

• Organisations beginning to evaluate cloud‑based HPC or AI solutions
• IT teams seeking a structured but accessible introduction to Azure’s compute ecosystem
• Research groups or engineering teams wanting to validate performance before scaling
• Businesses exploring modernisation with moderate to high computational needs

Why Choose the Silver Tier

This offering provides a solid, insight‑driven foundation for organisations early in their cloud adoption journey. It allows you to:

• Validate key workloads in a controlled, cost‑effective PoC environment
• Understand performance, resource allocation, and cost considerations
• Reduce uncertainty before moving forward to more advanced or scaled deployments
• Build confidence in Azure as a viable platform for high‑performance and AI workloads

By aligning your workloads to Azure’s scalable and reliable HPC infrastructure, the Silver Tier PoC equips your organisation with the information needed to make informed decisions—supporting innovation while minimising risk.
