MaSS provides elite system engineering for high-performance computing clusters. We specialize in the full lifecycle of hardware-software integration-from bare-metal PXE orchestration to specialized AI fabric tuning.
SCROLL TO CONFIGURE ↓We combine powerful, clustered, or cloud-native infrastructure with software to handle massive data-intensive workloads.
Solutions like HPE GreenLake and Azure HPC offer flexible, on-demand infrastructure. Rescale provides turnkey multi-cloud management.
Slurm ensures optimal resource utilization. Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) manages containerized GPU workloads at scale.
HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric manages data mobility. HPE DMF 7 automates parallel file system tiering for Lustre.
Altair tools eliminate I/O bottlenecks. Netweb combines x86 components into virtual SMP systems for memory scaling.
Fortinet solutions provide integrated cybersecurity. We ensure compliance with GDPR and industry standards for secure, resilient infrastructure.
InfiniBand & RDMA fabric tuning ensures microsecond-level latency. We architect high-bandwidth networks for seamless node-to-node communication.
NVIDIA DGX & H100 orchestration. We deploy optimized AI fabrics using Enroot and specialized container stacks for deep learning.
Secure migration strategies for CentOS 7 EOL systems. We execute zero-downtime transitions to modern Rocky Linux or AlmaLinux environments.
Grafana & Loki integration for granular telemetry. We implement 24/7 "Watchtower" monitoring to predict failures before they impact critical queues.
Automated package management via Spack. We handle complex library dependencies (glibc) to ensure reproducible environments for scientific research.
Resilient architecture using Pacemaker & Corosync. We deploy shared backend storage to ensure critical job continuity during node failure.
Spot Instance orchestration and auto-scaling logic. We optimize cloud-bursting strategies to minimize OpEx for variable, large-scale workloads.
Simplify your supply chain. As a value-added reseller for Dell, HPE, and Cisco, we handle the specification and logistics of enterprise hardware.
Eliminate technical debt. We active track warranty expirations and support contracts (SmartNet), executing seamless hardware refresh cycles before aging infrastructure impacts uptime.
Responsible end-of-life management. We provide certified NIST 800-88 data destruction and environmentally compliant recycling for retired cluster nodes.
Security Leadership as a Service. We align your infrastructure with ISO 27001, NIS2, and TISAX frameworks, managing audits and defining the strategic security roadmap for your C-Suite.
Cloud Economics. We actively manage AWS Savings Plans and Azure Reservations. We identify wasted spend (zombie VMs) and negotiate vendor contracts to lower your OpEx by 20-30%.
Value-Added Resale (VAR). Simplify your supply chain. We handle the specification, logistics, and lifecycle management for enterprise hardware (Dell/HPE/Cisco), ensuring you get the right "Iron" at the best price.
Zero Trust Architecture. The user is the new perimeter. We manage Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD) and Okta environments, enforcing strict MFA and Conditional Access policies.
Unified Endpoint Management. Control corporate data on any device. We deploy Microsoft Intune and Jamf to secure fleets of laptops and mobiles with remote wipe and encryption enforcement.
Automated Provisioning. Frictionless "Joiner, Mover, Leaver" workflows. We automate hardware setup (Autopilot) and SaaS licensing, ensuring users are productive on Day 1 and secure on Day Last.
Advanced governance and optimization frameworks for enterprise clusters.
Modern HPC management involves combining powerful on-premise clusters with cloud-native infrastructure. MaSS leverages platforms like Rescale to provide turnkey, multi-cloud management that handles the complexity of hybrid environments.
Senior engineers utilize tools from Altair and Netweb to identify and eliminate I/O bottlenecks that hinder near-linear scaling.
Managing data mobility is critical as workloads move between edge, on-prem, and cloud.
We close the gap between engineering and business outcomes. Our strategic layers secure your users, optimize your spend, and validate your defenses.
Monitoring logs is passive. We take an active, adversarial approach to validate your security posture.
We manage the humans behind the keyboards. Securing the "User Perimeter" is just as critical as the firewall.
Stop the cloud waste. We shift cost management from a monthly surprise to a daily discipline.
Recommended Operating Systems based on Workload Type.
| Workload | Recommended OS | Justification |
|---|---|---|
| GPU / AI Clusters NVIDIA H100/A100 Nodes |
Ubuntu LTSNVIDIA DGX OS | Preferred for Deep Learning; native support for NVIDIA Enroot and GPU sharing. |
| HPC / Simulation Slurm, PBS, OpenHPC |
Rocky Linux 9AlmaLinux 9SLES | Binary compatible with RHEL; standard for Top500 parallel filesystems. |
| Specialized Systems Cray / IBM Power |
Cray OS (COS)Spectrum Scale | Highly optimized for Shasta architectures and IBM AI-mixed clusters. |
| General & Legacy Academic / Cloud |
DebianCentOS 7 (Legacy)Warewulf | Warewulf is popular for lightweight bare-metal provisioning. CentOS 7 is EOL but still widely deployed. |
Full-stack HPC engineering integrating strategic management solutions.
Unified scheduling across on-prem and cloud environments.
Eliminating bottlenecks for linear scalability.
Software-defined data mobility and tiering.
Secure transition from EOL systems to Modern Linux.
Deep-dive engineering protocols for large-scale discovery.
Lustre decouples Metadata Services (MDS) from Object Storage (OSTs), allowing linear scaling. We tune stripe counts for specific workloads to eliminate I/O bottlenecks common in NFS.
We deploy HA Pairs using Pacemaker/Corosync with shared SAS/NVMe backends. Failover typically results in a 10-30s I/O freeze rather than job failure.
We use a Blue/Green strategy: provisioning a parallel EL9 environment and migrating Slurm nodes gradually. This ensures zero downtime for critical queues.
Yes. Moving from glibc 2.17 (CentOS 7) to glibc 2.34 (EL9) requires rebuilding via Spack to ensure library compatibility.
Yes. We deploy local mirrors for OS repos and container registries (Harbor), enabling fully offline secure operations.
These platforms provide on-demand elasticity and reduce complexity by offering turnkey infrastructure, allowing you to scale without waiting for physical hardware procurement.
