Pillar & Principles
- Secure by design: Architected to meet strict regulatory, ITAR, and compliance standards, embedding security and data isolation into every component—from lab to cloud.
- Globally distributed: Enables distributed collaboration while respecting data sovereignty and regulatory zones, with secure interconnects optimized for compliance and performance.
- High Interoperability: Designed to connect specialized lab instruments, simulation tools, and enterprise platforms across heterogeneous environments—securely and without friction.
- Cost Efficient & Scalable: Scales elastically to support burst compute, large simulations, and AI workflows while optimizing cost through dynamic resource allocation and tiered data strategies.
- Unified UX: Offers a seamless, role-aware user experience—from lab scientists to HPC engineers—ensuring consistent access, visualization, and orchestration across environments.
- Data Backbone (Data-Centric by Design): Establishes a governed, high-throughput data layer that ensures seamless access and movement of data across the platform — enabling consistent ingestion, transformation, AI-driven learning, synthetic data generation, and simulation workflows.
- Sustainability-Aligned Computing (Green by Architecture): Leverages cloud elasticity, workload-based optimization, and infrastructure modernization to reduce energy usage, eliminate underutilized on-prem resources, and support sustainability goals through measurable carbon footprint reduction.
- Quantum-Ready Architecture (Future-Proof by Design): Lays the foundation for seamless integration with quantum computing by enabling hybrid classical-quantum workflows, simulator access, and modular expansion paths — ensuring the HPC platform evolves in parallel with emerging computing paradigms.
Utility Tree
The Utility Tree brings a view on the most most architecturally significant requirements. With this tool, the business capabilities are assessed in terms of importance for the business and architecturally complexity for being accomplish, so a value engineering can be performed and strategical decisions been taken.
