QCT POD
QCT POD stands for QCT Platform on Demand, which provides an on-premises system with best practice hardware and software integration for specific workloads. With the common building blocks, it has greater flexibility and scalability to meet business demands from different verticals, like manufacturing, healthcare and high education and research (HER).
QCT POD portfolio:
QCT POD is composed of different building blocks including computing nodes, storage nodes, management nodes and network fabrics, which are all based on QCT’s well-designed systems:
1. Computing node: Systems for HPC, AI and DA purpose
2. Storage node: Support large capacity and high performance with scalability
3. Management node: Systems used for deployment, login and admin
4. Network fabrics: Systems for Out-of-Band Management, Service Management and Compute/Storage Network
QCT POD system service:
1. Features automated system deployment to simplify the originally complicated and error-prone configuration setting process
2. Real- time system monitoring and simplified cluster system management
3. Workload optimization by integrating with 3rd party software packages
Target scenarios:
1. Healthcare: Best practice system for Medical demands, including NGS (Next Generation Sequencing), Molecular Dynamics and Medical Image Recognition
2. Higher Education and Research: Target scenarios including weather forecast, Fluid Dynamics, Chemistry, Molecular Dynamics and Astrophysics application
3. Manufacturing: Targeting product design and engineering simulation including CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics), FEA (Finite Element Analysis), CAD/CAE (Computer-Aided Design/ Computer-Aided Engineering) and EDA (Electronic Design Automation)
