Our value proposition to customers is simple: we offer one of the largest sources of compute power at highly affordable, on-demand pricing. Our customers only pay for the amount of compute power they use and don't have to invest in computing infrastructure. Due to our unique technology, our customers can save 10 to 12 times the amount they would have to spend for other compute sources. The table below illustrates the benfits of using Plura over competing technologies:
| Clusters | Clouds | Plura | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free of capital expenditure |  |
 |
|
| Data is secure | |
|
|
| Costs scale well | |
|
|
| On-demand availability | |
≤ 5,000 nodes | ≥ 50,000 nodes |
| Typical compute costs | $150k - $1.5M | $100k - $1.2M | $12k - $120k |
A wide variety of customers can use Plura for many different computationally-intensive applications. Potential applications include:
- Oil & gas exploration algorithms
- Financial modeling
- Bioinformatics
- Web crawling and Internet analysis
- Fluid dynamics
- And many others
Applications that are highly parallel and require a significant amount of compute time relative to the amount of data transferred are most suitable to Plura. That said, our team has found several creative ways to parallelize many different algorithms and we can work with you to fit your application to our framework.
If you're interested in using Plura for your computationally-intensive applications or you would like to learn more about the benefits Plura can provide to your organization, please feel free to contact us.
