HPC Architecture & Migration Services for AWS

HPC Architecture & Migration Services for AWS

The Server Labs provides specialist High Performance Computing (HPC) architecture and migration services for organisations operating complex scientific, engineering, research, and regulated workloads on AWS.

This professional service is designed for enterprises, public sector organisations, research institutions, and regulated industries where HPC is a strategic operational capability rather than an experimental cloud initiative. We support large-scale HPC transformation programmes involving legacy infrastructure modernisation, hybrid cloud adoption, sovereign computing requirements, and migration of mission-critical workloads to AWS.

Our engagements focus on designing HPC environments that are performant, secure, scalable, and operationally sustainable. We work closely with stakeholders across infrastructure, security, research, engineering, and governance teams to develop implementation-ready architectures aligned to technical, regulatory, and organisational requirements.

The Server Labs delivers tailored HPC solutions across the full platform lifecycle, including architecture design, migration strategy, workload orchestration, storage and IO optimisation, security segmentation, benchmarking, and operational readiness.

What This Service Includes

• End-to-end HPC architecture design for AWS
• HPC migration strategy from on-premises or legacy clusters
• Hybrid and phased migration planning for complex estates
• Scheduler and workload orchestration architecture
• High-performance storage and IO design
• Data movement and integration strategy
• Security, identity, and tenancy architecture
• Multi-account and sovereign environment design
• Performance benchmarking and scalability validation
• Implementation-ready design documentation

Typical Use Cases

This service is particularly suited for:

• National research and scientific computing programmes
• Life sciences, genomics, and bioinformatics platforms
• Climate modelling, physics, and engineering simulation workloads
• Defence and security-sensitive HPC environments
• Enterprise HPC modernisation initiatives
• Organisations retiring ageing on-premises HPC infrastructure
• Hybrid cloud HPC operating models
• Regulated or compliance-driven environments

Delivery Approach

Engagements are led by senior HPC architects with experience delivering large-scale AWS and hybrid HPC platforms.

Our delivery approach begins with detailed discovery across workload characteristics, performance dependencies, data flows, operational constraints, and governance requirements. We then develop a tailored AWS HPC architecture that balances performance, resilience, operational sustainability, and cost optimisation.

Migration strategies are designed to minimise operational disruption and delivery risk through staged migration patterns, parallel execution models, validation testing, and controlled cutover planning.

Performance benchmarking and scalability testing are used to validate architectural decisions and ensure that AWS-based HPC platforms meet or exceed existing operational capability.

Deliverables are provided at an implementation-ready level of detail suitable for operational teams, governance review, and downstream delivery partners.

Key Deliverables

• Bespoke AWS HPC architecture design
• HPC migration and transition strategy
• Scheduler, compute, networking, and storage architecture
• Security and tenancy design
• Performance benchmarking results
• Operational and governance recommendations
• Implementation-ready technical artefacts

Why The Server Labs

The Server Labs specialises in complex cloud architecture, migration, and platform engineering engagements for organisations operating at enterprise and national scale.

Our HPC consulting services are designed for environments where performance, security, resilience, and governance are critical to operational success. We bring deep experience across AWS architecture, regulated workloads, hybrid infrastructure, and large-scale transformation programmes.
