How Must Vendors Respond to User Demand for High Performance Computing and AI Infrastructure Requirements?

This IDC Market Perspective addresses vendor responses to the demand for HPC/AI solutions."With the convergence of HPC, AI, and Big Data under the banner of performance-intensive computing, there is exponential growth in data creation, demand for faster compute, faster storage with higher bandwidths, lower latencies, and higher scalability," said Josephine Palencia, research director, High-Performance Computing at IDC. "Vendors have responded with creative innovations as they try to keep pace with technological advancements. Despite impressive gains in compute performance, the HPC/AI market shows no signs of slowing down. The demand for gains in both compute and storage is at an exponential rise in terms of model size simulations and compute. Some applications require the ability to perform models faster and at much larger scale than even just a few months ago. This trend will continue as vendors innovate while society benefits from and sees rapid breakthroughs in applications spanning HPC/AI, including for critical research in the medical field."

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
