We performed a comparison between AWS Outposts and High Performance Computing (HPC) based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hybrid Cloud Computing Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspect is that it comes in a rack form factor which makes it incredibly easy to use and deploy various AWS services."
"I think the keys to success for the solution is the easy-to-use user interface and the fact that the development team really likes the platform."
"AWS Outposts brings native AWS services, infrastructure, and API to our on-premises data center or co-location facilities."
"The most valuable aspect is its ability to provide interfaces for events."
"Outposts allows you to isolate your private environment from the public cloud provider while enabling almost all the features that are available on public cloud services. That is the beauty of this service. It's an infrastructure that you can put in your data center and seamlessly connect to the public cloud."
"With AWS, we've had seamless integration and support for many of our applications."
"If you compare with the full bundle of these services, you can see the difference. This is enough for these locations in private data centers. Because the main reasons why the customers want to have it on their side are for the low latency and the security of their critical data."
"HPC speeds up delivery time and reduces costs. It comes with the capability and flexibility to understand how engineering products work. You can understand the outcome without spending time and money."
"Our customers can publish scientific reports in prestigious magazines. HPC offers strong computing capabilities."
"Also, it would be beneficial if AWS allowed for more granular and customizable pricing options."
"It would be great if it could support Glue services."
"The pricing model needs improvement because right now it's very expensive. All of these solutions are very expensive and it prevents other customers or owners of data centers from buying it."
"Depending on the installation process, we have found some bugs and issues with the solution when the same platform is not used."
"The platform needs to spend more time investing in strengthening its governance and information tools and consider the real needs of its customers."
"Outposts supports elastic coordinator services, but not elastic container services, which is the native service for containers in AWS. That is something missing in this product."
"It would be beneficial to have the option for capacity expansion."
"There was a buzz around the integration of quantum computing and HPC. However, I don't see a real-life use case for it."
"The solution is expensive."
