Benchmark-Intelligent Cloud HPC for CIO & IT Teams

Turn cloud HPC from an FTE-heavy operating problem into a governed service. Fovus benchmarks workloads, forecasts the optimal infrastructure baseline, and orchestrates execution inside your AWS account — with policy, spend, and data boundaries you control.

The challenges

Cloud HPC rarely starts as a greenfield platform decision. It grows around the business: AWS Batch here, Terraform there, a Slurm environment, a service ticket process, and engineers manually choosing capacity when the default configuration stops working. That shadow solution creates costs that are hard to forecast — platform FTEs, overprovisioned infrastructure, capacity risk, interrupted workloads, and duplicated tooling across teams. IT owns the vendor, security, and spend consequences even when the actual infrastructure decisions are being made workload by workload.

How we help

Auto-benchmark representative workloads before broad rollout to establish a data-backed cost and performance baseline for planning, forecasting, and cloud commitment decisions.

Replace static infrastructure assumptions with Benchmark Intelligence that continuously ranks the best execution strategy for each workload as instance availability, hardware, pricing, and inputs change.

Reduce vendor and data risk with BYOC. Workloads, data, and execution stay inside your AWS account while IT defines allowed Regions, optimization scope, and spend boundaries.

Federate capacity across Regions and availability zones so critical workloads are not tied to a single cluster, instance family, or local capacity pool.

Use Spot capacity with automatic checkpointing and recovery, reducing the operational risk of interruptions without requiring IT to build and maintain custom failover logic.

Give business and technical teams a consistent execution layer through web UI, CLI, Python API, and workflow integrations, while IT retains infrastructure governance and visibility.

Proof across real workloads

Workload-level benchmarks give IT a stronger planning baseline than a static infrastructure assumption.

Spot GPUs brought online across Regions in 20 minutes for a recent customer.

70–85%


Typical overspend eliminated vs. one static resource configuration across nf-core pipeline steps.

2–7x


Higher dollar efficiency vs. single-config cloud deployments, benchmarked on nf-core/rnaseq and nf-core/sarek.

BYOC


Data, compute, and execution remain inside the customer’s AWS account.

Business Impact

Fovus gives CIO and IT teams a governed baseline for cloud HPC without forcing the organization to standardize every workload onto one static configuration. Benchmark Intelligence improves the infrastructure decision itself, while BYOC, policy controls, cross-region capacity, and interruption recovery reduce the operating burden around it. The result is a platform that can support more computational demand without adding equivalent infrastructure headcount.

Make cloud HPC easier to govern, forecast, and scale.
