In this insideHPC technology guide, "How Expert Design Engineering and a Building Block Approach Can Give You a Perfectly Tailored AI, ML or HPC Environment,"we will present things to consider when building a customized supercomputer-in-a-box system with the help of experts from Silicon Mechanics.

When considering a large complex system, such as a high-performance computing (HPC), supercomputer or  compute cluster, you may think you only have two options—build from scratch from the ground up, or buy a pre-configured, supercomputer-in-a-box from a major technology vendor that everyone else is buying. But there is a third option that takes a best-of-both-worlds approach. This gives you “building blocks” expertly designed around network, storage and compute configurations that are balanced, but also flexible enough to provide scalability for your specific project needs.
