The Formula 1 of Computing, HPC with Ryan Quick

The world is full of so much data, and collecting, refining, transforming and analyzing it becomes a bigger challenge every day. Like a frog slowly boiling in a pot of water, it all just slowly creeps up on you until you just can't manage it any more. You might be surprised to find that you are suddenly thrust into the world of HPC. So, today we are going to be talking with a well known HPC expert.

Hey everybody, this is Chris Brandt, here with Sandesh Patel, welcome to another FUTRtech video podcast.

One big trend I am starting to see is more and more companies stepping into the big data world with hyper-scale and high performance computing environments. This is a world where one size doesn't fit all, and these environments tend to be more like custom hot rods. Today, we are talking with HPC expert Ryan Quick. Ryan built HPC environments for eBay and Paypal, and now operates his own consultancy to help companies navigate the complexities of these builds. Ryan is going to tell us about what HPC is, what it takes to build and why you might want to start now.
