The Three Variations of Supercomputing Cloud Technologies
September 8, 2022 by
“Cloud computing” is one of the most overloaded terms in the history of information technology. Yes, there is the NIST Definition of Cloud Computing that many will point to, but the sheer number of adaptations of models for “enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand” access to computing resources knows no limit. In this sponsored post, our friends at Atos provide three major and very different types of issues and found that a common technology thread worked across the board. In fact, they also learned that while the models are different, organizations often benefit from more than one.
