AWS Outposts in HostDime’s Orlando Data Center
HostDime’s state-of-the-art Orlando data center is an ideal location for deploying AWS Outposts. The rack arrives at HostDime fully assembled, ready for connection to power and networking.
An AWS Outposts rack is a 42U server assembly that integrates seamlessly into HostDime’s on-premises environment. Each rack, measuring 80 inches in height, 24 inches in width, and 48 inches in depth, and weighing up to 2000 pounds, is a powerhouse of computing and storage capacity.
Inside the rack, users will find a meticulously arranged setup of hosts, switches, a network patch panel, a power shelf, and blank panels. Notably, the Outposts rack has been continually updated to include the latest hardware technologies, ensuring optimal performance for the most data-intensive applications.
HPC Workloads on AWS Outposts
The real strength of AWS Outposts lies in its ability to support a wide range of compute solutions. You can customize based on your compute needs and choose between general purpose, compute optimized, memory optimized, graphics optimized, or I/O optimized. Compute-optimized instances deliver HPC at a low price per compute ratio. For example, these instances could include batch processing, media transcoding, scientific modeling, dedicated gaming servers, and machine learning inference.
Leverage this setup to perform a range of tasks, from training sophisticated machine learning models to running large-scale simulations and analyses. Additionally, the ease of scaling compute and storage resources makes AWS Outposts an ideal solution for businesses experiencing rapid growth or fluctuating demands. The integration of AWS Outposts at HostDime opens new avenues for enterprises to innovate and grow, while ensuring their data is processed quickly, securely, and efficiently.
