UltraCompute HPC Extension & Custom Configuration for AWS

Extend UltraCompute for Production Complexity — Without Sacrificing Upgradeability

UltraCompute delivers a strong, standardised HPC foundation for AWS. But real production environments rarely conform to standard configurations. Specialist storage patterns, advanced scheduling models, regulatory constraints, legacy toolchain integrations, and multi-class workload coexistence all require targeted adaptation — and that adaptation must not come at the cost of long-term maintainability or platform lock-in.

The Server Labs UltraCompute Extension & Custom Configuration service addresses this directly. With over 20 years of AWS platform engineering experience, The Server Labs extends and configures UltraCompute to meet advanced technical and organisational requirements while keeping the platform fully aligned to the core product and its upgrade path.

What This Service Delivers

This engagement identifies precisely where standard UltraCompute capabilities are sufficient and where targeted extension is required. Extensions are implemented through supported configuration models, automation, and integration patterns — not one-off custom code — ensuring compatibility with the UltraCompute external control plane and preserving the ability to apply future platform upgrades without disruption.

Typical areas of extension include: Specialist storage architectures, including high-throughput shared file systems, tiered scratch patterns, and data-intensive workflow optimisation for demanding HPC workloads. Advanced scheduling and queue models, covering workload isolation, priority handling, pre-emption controls, fairness policies, and multi-class workload coexistence on shared platform infrastructure. Sector-specific controls, including data residency enforcement, access constraints, and compliance-driven configuration for regulated and high-assurance environments. Integration with existing toolchains, pipelines, identity providers, and data platforms, enabling UltraCompute to operate within established enterprise workflows rather than replacing them. Hybrid and transitional models, supporting organisations where UltraCompute must operate alongside legacy HPC estates during phased migration or parallel operation.

Key Deliverables

• Configured UltraCompute extensions aligned to workload and operational requirements
• Advanced scheduler, storage, and scaling configurations
• Integrated security controls and sector-specific compliance configurations
• Toolchain and platform integration components
• Updated operational and configuration documentation
• Validated upgrade and support compatibility assurance

Who This Service Is For

This engagement is designed for organisations already operating or deploying UltraCompute on AWS where standard configurations must be adapted to meet production realities. It is particularly valuable for organisations with HPC workloads that have specialist IO, scheduling, or performance characteristics; where regulatory or sector constraints require additional platform controls; where existing HPC tools and workflows must be preserved alongside the productised platform; or where multiple workload classes need to coexist on shared infrastructure. Relevant sectors include life sciences, financial services, energy, defence, engineering simulation, and public sector research computing.

Delivery Approach

The engagement is delivered as a controlled enhancement of the UltraCompute product. The Server Labs works with the customer to map standard UltraCompute capabilities against production requirements, identify extension points, and implement enhancements using supported patterns and automation. Where necessary, extension work is coordinated with the UltraCompute product roadmap to ensure future upgrades remain smooth and non-disruptive. The engagement concludes with validated configuration documentation and upgrade compatibility assurance, enabling customers to maintain advanced configurations independently and continue benefiting from ongoing platform improvements.
