Achieving AWS High performance computing competency for ONTAP

High performance computing (HPC) workloads require scalable performance, reliable data access, and efficient data management to support simulation, modeling, and analysis at scale. As organizations increasingly run HPC workloads on AWS, they need storage solutions that integrate natively with AWS services while meeting the demanding requirements of HPC environments.

NetApp has achieved the AWS High Performance Computing (HPC) Competency for ONTAP, validating NetApp technical expertise and proven customer success in supporting HPC workloads on AWS using ONTAPbased solutions.

The AWS Competency Program identifies AWS Partners with demonstrated technical proficiency and customer success in specific workload domains. Achieving the AWS HPC Competency recognizes our ability to help customers architect, deploy, and operate storage solutions that support HPC workloads on AWS.

With ONTAP on AWS through Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP and Cloud Volumes ONTAP, customers can use enterprise grade data management capabilities that are tightly integrated with AWS infrastructure and services.

Customers across automotive, aerospace, and semiconductor design use AWS and NetApp ONTAP to support dataintensive HPC workloads.

These customer examples demonstrate how ONTAP supports HPC workloads that require scalable performance, efficient data management, and tight integration with AWS services.

HPC workloads place unique demands on storage, including sustained throughput, elastic scalability, and efficient data lifecycle management. ONTAP is designed to address these requirements across a range of HPC use cases.

Scalable performance

ONTAP supports highthroughput data access to help meet the performance requirements of dataintensive and parallel HPC workloads running on AWS.

Filebased storage for HPC applications

Support for industrystandard file protocols, including NFS, enables customers to migrate or extend HPC workloads to AWS without modifying applications.

Elastic capacity and performance

ONTAP enables customers to scale storage capacity and performance independently, helping align storage resources with fluctuating HPC compute demand.

Data management across the HPC lifecycle

ONTAP provides builtin capabilities such as snapshots, replication, cloning, and policybased tiering to help manage data across the full lifecycle of HPC workflows.

Hybrid and Cloudbased architectures

ONTAP enables consistent data management across onpremises and AWS environments, supporting hybrid HPC architectures and cloud bursting strategies.

A trusted storage foundation for HPC on AWS

The AWS HPC Competency recognizes NetApp’s ability to support customers running HPC workloads on AWS with ONTAPbased solutions. Customers benefit from validated architectures that support performance, scalability, and consistent data management across cloud and hybrid environments.

Enabling the next phase of HPC innovation

With ONTAP on AWS, organizations can modernize their HPC environments while maintaining enterprise grade data services and operational consistency. NetApp continues to work closely with AWS to help customers design and operate HPC infrastructures that scale with their most demanding workloads.
