Hybrid HPC Solution
Hybrid HPC architecture combining on-premises infrastructure with cloud capacity. Elastic scaling during peak periods through cloud bursting.
What is Hybrid HPC Solution?
Hybrid HPC is the architectural approach that unifies your organization's on-premises compute infrastructure with the elastic capacity of the cloud under a single platform. Automatic cloud bursting during peak periods and low-cost on-premises cluster operation during quiet periods allow you to meet both performance and budget targets simultaneously. Mevasis manages the entire hybrid HPC process end-to-end — from workload analysis through to production deployment — with its experienced engineering team.
When designed correctly, Hybrid HPC combines the predictability of a fixed hardware investment with the flexibility of the cloud. Organizations no longer need to purchase excess capacity for peak demand.

How Is Hybrid HPC Implemented?
Mevasis implements hybrid HPC projects through a four-phase methodology from workload analysis to monitoring setup. Each phase is designed to address both your infrastructure's current and future needs.
Workload Analysis and Architecture Design
Current workloads, bandwidth requirements and latency tolerances are measured to determine which jobs run on-premises and which burst to the cloud.
Integration and Automation
SLURM cloud bursting policies are configured, cloud node images are prepared and automatic start/stop scripts are activated.
Testing, Validation and Monitoring
Burst tests are performed with real workloads; performance and cost visibility are established permanently with Prometheus and Grafana.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should this solution be chosen?
Hybrid HPC is ideal when you have irregular peak demands rather than a continuously high workload. While your on-premises infrastructure handles the base load, you can automatically expand to cloud capacity during peak periods such as research campaigns, year-end simulations or sudden project requirements. This model — where you pay only for what you use rather than building a permanently large cluster — is particularly well suited to universities, R&D departments and institutions running climate modeling.
How does Mevasis deliver this solution?
Mevasis provides end-to-end integration from on-premises HPC cluster design to cloud connectivity. It configures cloud bursting policies on the SLURM job scheduler, secures data consistency with shared storage (BeeGFS/Lustre), and minimizes latency with InfiniBand or high-bandwidth WAN connectivity. Post-installation monitoring and capacity management consulting keeps your infrastructure running efficiently.
How is pricing structured?
Hybrid HPC cost varies by on-premises hardware size, target cloud provider, bandwidth requirements and integration complexity.
