ISBC fully managed Windows Server 2025 AMI pre-configured as head, compute, or pre/post node for AI and HPC workloads with DCV-based remote visualization.
Deploy a fully managed Windows Server 2025 AMI purpose-built for AI and high-performance computing workloads on AWS. ISBC pre-configures this image to function as a head node, pre/post-processing node, or compute node - eliminating the manual setup typically required to build an HPC cluster on Windows.
What Is Included
Web-Based HPC Management Portal - Submit, monitor, and manage HPC jobs from a browser without SSH access, reducing operational complexity for research teams.
DCV Server and DCV-SM Agent - Pre-installed NICE DCV packages enable GPU-accelerated remote 3D visualization (eVDI) so engineers can interact with OpenGL workloads from any location without local GPU hardware.
Pre/Post Workload Session Management - Manage interactive visualization and analysis sessions before and after batch compute runs through a unified interface.
BYOL Software Integration Support - Bring your own licensed commercial R&D applications and development IDEs; ISBC handles integration and configuration on the managed image.
Use Case Example
Engineering teams running computational fluid dynamics (CFD) or molecular dynamics simulations can use this AMI as a compute node for batch processing, then seamlessly switch to a DCV-powered 3D visualization session for post-processing analysis - all managed through the HPC Web Portal without manual node reconfiguration.
Architecture Overview
This AMI integrates with the ISBC HPC Web Portal Service. Resource nodes (head, compute, pre/post) register with the portal, enabling centralized job scheduling, session management, and cluster monitoring. The DCV-SM Agent coordinates remote desktop sessions across multiple nodes for eVDI delivery.
Requirements and Prerequisites
Instance Types - GPU-accelerated instances (e.g., G4dn, G5, P4d families) recommended for visualization and AI workloads; compute-optimized instances (C5, C6i) suitable for batch HPC jobs.
Networking - Deploy within a VPC with appropriate security group rules for DCV traffic (TCP 8443) and HPC portal communication.
Windows Licensing - Windows Server 2025 license is included with the AMI.
DCV Licensing - DCV license included for use on AWS EC2 instances.
Getting Started
Subscribe to this AMI on AWS Marketplace.
Launch an EC2 instance using the AMI with your chosen instance type.
Connect via RDP or DCV to complete initial configuration.
Register the node with your ISBC HPC Web Portal deployment.
Begin submitting AI or HPC workloads through the portal interface.
Security and Maintenance
ISBC provides ongoing managed support including OS patching, security updates, and configuration maintenance. The image is configured with Windows Server 2025 security defaults. Data in transit to DCV sessions is encrypted via TLS. Customers are responsible for encrypting EBS volumes at rest using AWS KMS.
Managed Support
This product includes ISBC fully managed support covering end-to-end technical assistance, integration services, migration support, and ongoing maintenance for your AI-HPC environment. Support encompasses eVDI session management, GPU workload optimization, and BYOL software configuration.
Next Steps

Highlights
End-to-end managed support for AI-HPC clusters on Windows Server 2025 - ISBC handles technical support, OS patching, integration, migration, and ongoing maintenance so your research teams focus on workloads rather than infrastructure. The AMI is pre-configured for head node, compute node, or pre/post-processing node roles, eliminating manual cluster setup and reducing time from subscription to first job submission.
Bring-Your-Own-License (BYOL) integration for commercial R&D software and development IDEs - ISBC configures your licensed applications on the managed image while you retain full control of your software investments. Supported workflows include batch HPC job submission, interactive AI-ML development, and engineering simulation with seamless transitions between compute and visualization sessions.
GPU-accelerated remote 3D visualization (eVDI) powered by pre-installed NICE DCV Server and DCV Session Manager Agent - engineers access OpenGL graphics workloads remotely from any device without local GPU hardware. Session management handles multi-user access across nodes, enabling distributed teams to collaborate on post-processing visualization for CFD, molecular dynamics, or AI model analysis.

You pay by the hour for the EC2 instance type you run, on a usage basis with no upfront commitment. The dimensions fall into three families. C-series instances (c7i and c8i) are compute-focused and scale by size from xlarge up to 96xlarge. G-series instances (g6, g6e, and g7e) add GPU capacity for AI and rendering work, scaling from 4xlarge to 48xlarge. HPC-series instances (hpc6a, hpc6id, hpc7a, and hpc8a) target high-performance computing at larger sizes. Your hourly cost scales with instance size and family. Bigger instances and GPU or HPC types cost more per hour.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What do I actually get for the hourly rate on each instance type?
You get the software running on the matching AWS EC2 instance, billed per running hour. The instance name defines its CPU, memory, and any GPU capacity. C-series delivers general compute, G-series adds GPUs, and HPC-series targets high-performance computing. Underlying AWS infrastructure charges apply separately.
Am I charged when an instance is stopped or paused?
Software charges accrue only while an instance runs. When you stop an instance, hourly software metering stops. Powered-off instances do not accrue software fees. Any attached AWS storage may still incur separate AWS charges even while the instance is stopped.
How do I choose between the compute, GPU, and HPC instance families?
C-series (c7i, c8i) fits general processing and simulation prep. G-series (g6, g6e, g7e) suits AI, machine learning, and rendering that need GPUs. HPC-series (hpc6a, hpc6id, hpc7a, hpc8a) targets large parallel high-performance computing jobs. You pick one instance type per launch; each bills at its own hourly rate.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
