HCLTech said on Wednesday it has expanded its collaboration with Microsoft to provide high-performance computing (HPC) solutions for clients in various industries. HCLTech plans to train 3,000 professionals over three years and create a dedicated lab-cum-centre of excellence (CoE) with Microsoft.

The solutions will incorporate HCLTech's expertise in advanced engineering services and Microsoft's Azure cloud HPC technologies. The collaboration will focus on providing clients access to HPC resources, including core infrastructure, advanced analytics, machine learning and simulations.

"By combining Microsoft’s expertise with HCLTech’s CloudSMART, we will offer customers a powerful combination of advanced engineering services and cloud technologies to help them manage complex hybrid infrastructure," said Ajit Moodliar, senior vice-president and global head, Microsoft Ecosystem Business Unit, HCLTech.


The collaboration will incubate early-stage research and development initiatives to progress opportunities towards HPC solutions for customers in various industries.

"HPC is widely used in many industries and is becoming increasingly important as organisations look to gain insights from vast amounts of data and drive innovation to become more efficient," said Nidhi Chappell, GM, Azure HPC AI, Microsoft.
