Description

The Elastic Fabric Adapter (EFA) serves as a specialized network interface for Amazon EC2 instances, allowing users to efficiently run applications that demand high inter-node communication at scale within the AWS environment. By utilizing a custom-designed operating system (OS) that circumvents traditional hardware interfaces, EFA significantly boosts the performance of communications between instances, which is essential for effectively scaling such applications. This technology facilitates the scaling of High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications that utilize the Message Passing Interface (MPI) and Machine Learning (ML) applications that rely on the NVIDIA Collective Communications Library (NCCL) to thousands of CPUs or GPUs. Consequently, users can achieve the same high application performance found in on-premises HPC clusters while benefiting from the flexible and on-demand nature of the AWS cloud infrastructure. EFA can be activated as an optional feature for EC2 networking without incurring any extra charges, making it accessible for a wide range of use cases. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates with the most popular interfaces, APIs, and libraries for inter-node communication needs, enhancing its utility for diverse applications.

Description

Transition your essential business operations and critical workloads to the Azure infrastructure to enhance your operational effectiveness. You can operate SQL Server, SAP, Oracle® applications, and high-performance computing on Azure Virtual Machines. Opt for your preferred Linux distribution or Windows Server for your virtual instances. Configure virtual machines equipped with as much as 416 vCPUs and 12 TB of memory to meet your needs. Enjoy impressive performance with up to 3.7 million local storage IOPS for each VM. Leverage advanced connectivity options, including up to 30 Gbps Ethernet and the cloud’s pioneering 200 Gbps InfiniBand deployment. Choose from a variety of processors, including AMD, Ampere (Arm-based), or Intel, based on your specific requirements. Safeguard sensitive information by encrypting data, securing VMs against cyber threats, managing network traffic securely, and ensuring adherence to regulatory standards. Utilize Virtual Machine Scale Sets to create applications that can easily scale. Optimize your cloud expenditure with Azure Spot Virtual Machines and reserved instances to maximize cost-effectiveness. Establish your private cloud environment using Azure Dedicated Host, and ensure that mission-critical applications operate reliably on Azure to bolster overall resiliency. This strategic move not only enhances performance but also positions your business for future growth and innovation.
