Webinar Held on the Theme: 'R&D Halted by HPC Server Delivery Delays'

■ HPC Server Delivery Delays Are Starting to Halt R&D
Due to a global surge in demand for IT infrastructure, the server market is currently experiencing abnormal situations such as soaring prices, prolonged delivery times, and order cancellations. The HPC domain, which requires large-capacity memory and high-performance CPUs, is particularly affected more than general servers.
- Unable to purchase anticipated equipment even with secured budget
- Delivery times are uncertain, making upgrade plans difficult to establish
- Unable to prepare analysis environments at the required timing
For manufacturing and R&D sectors, these issues are more than just delays in infrastructure upgrades. Stalled analyses and simulations directly lead to delayed market entry for new products and a decline in corporate competitiveness, becoming serious management challenges.

■ The HPC Procurement Dilemma: Neither New Equipment nor Cloud is a Decisive Solution
Even in this situation, many companies proceed with procurement plans based on the premise that 'HPC means purchasing the latest equipment,' but currently, neither delivery times nor prices are predictable. On the other hand, deciding to 'just migrate to the cloud' is not always straightforward for the HPC domain.
This is because factors such as data transfer, integration with existing environments, and analysis application licenses, which are specific to HPC, need to be considered.
As a result, companies are increasingly finding themselves in a bind: 'latest equipment won't arrive,' 'cloud migration isn't easy,' and 'but R&D cannot stop,' leading to a state of 'having no choice but to wait.'
What is now required is not to keep waiting for an ideal environment, but a realistic perspective on 'how to secure the necessary computational resources immediately.'

■ A New Option: Securing HPC Resources Without Waiting
This seminar will organize the background of HPC procurement difficulties and the challenges of conventional approaches (new equipment purchase, cloud utilization), and then present realistic ways of thinking to keep R&D from stopping.
Furthermore, we will introduce 'Managed HPC Service Lite,' which allows you to use HPC environments with peace of mind by leveraging this approach, achieving short-term procurement and cost reduction.

- Recommended for individuals in the following positions / facing these challenges:
- Those in manufacturing or R&D departments operating CAE analysis or simulation environments.
- Those whose plans for expanding or upgrading R&D-向け HPC environments are stalled.
- Those facing challenges with prolonged delivery times and soaring prices of HPC servers.
- Those considering cloud utilization but want to organize options suitable for their company.
- Those who want to know realistic methods for securing HPC resources other than equipment purchase.

- What you can take away from this seminar:
HPC procurement difficulties are not merely infrastructure issues but challenges that directly impact business competitiveness. This seminar will organize the thinking and decision-making criteria for securing HPC resources in a short period, including options other than 'procuring the latest equipment.' We encourage anyone seeking hints to break out of a deadlock to participate.
