Oxide Computer Company and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) are teaming up to bring on-premises cloud capabilities to the LLNL supercomputing center. The startup will be deploy its rack-scale Oxide Cloud Computer at LLNL's high performance computing (HPC) center in Livermore, California, to enable Livermore Computing users to access virtualized services alongside HPC workloads.
"On-premises environments are the next frontier for cloud computing," said Steve Tuck, CEO at Oxide Computer Company. “LLNL is tackling some of the hardest and most important problems in science and technology, requiring advanced hardware, software, and cloud capabilities. We are thrilled to be working with their exceptional team to help advance those efforts, delivering an integrated system that meets their rigorous requirements for performance, efficiency, and security."
“We look forward to working with Oxide to integrate this machine within our HPC center,” said Todd Gamblin, distinguished member of technical staff at LLNL. “Oxide’s Cloud Computer will allow us to securely support new types of workloads for users, and it will be a proving ground for introducing cloud-like features to operational processes and user workflows. We expect Oxide’s open source software stack and their transparent and open approach to development to help us work closely together.”
