Right-Sizing Hybrid Multi-Cloud Infrastructure: Unlocking Agility and Cost Efficiency with Parallel Works

In an era of rapidly evolving HPC and AI workloads, traditional on-premises systems often fall short in delivering the agility, scalability, and cost-efficiency required to stay competitive. By adopting a flexible, “right-sized” infrastructure approach—integrating on-premises resources, single or multi-cloud deployments, and hybrid multi-cloud frameworks—organizations can more effectively navigate the complexities of modern computing demands. Right-sizing an organization’s infrastructure to include hybrid cloud is key to balancing performance with cost to optimize both capacity and capability to limit having idle infrastructure.

This paper describes some of the issues organizations face in effectively using infrastructure capacity and how using the Parallel Works ACTIVATE platform provides a “right-sizing” solution needed to determine the most cost-effective use of a hybrid multi-cloud infrastructure to gain a better ROI.
