Setting up and operating HPC infrastructure on-premises is expensive, and the infrastructure requires ongoing maintenance. In addition, on-premises infrastructure typically can't be scaled quickly to match changes in demand. Planning, procuring, deploying, and decommissioning hardware on-premises takes considerable time, resulting in delayed addition of HPC resources or underutilized capacity. In the cloud, you can efficiently provision HPC infrastructure that uses the latest technology, and you can scale your capacity on demand. Scientists, researchers, and analysts can quickly access additional HPC capacity for their projects when they need it.
