Sabalcore Computing Awarded US Navy Contract for High Performance Computing Services

MELBOURNE, Florida, April 11 — Sabalcore Computing today announced it was selected by the U.S. Navy to provide the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Warfare Center Weapons Division with high performance computing cloud services.

The contract will allow NAVAIR to utilize scientific computational capabilities via the cloud. NAVAIR will use this contract to run compute intensive weather modeling applications. These applications, which run in parallel, require a large number of servers and specialized interconnects. The models NAVAIR will run include the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and the Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS).

Weather forecasts and environmental simulations demand vast numbers of data points for accuracy. The complexity and timeliness of these forecasting models are directly tied to the power of the computing system. Under the contract, NAVAIR will utilize Sabalcore's Dedicated services to deliver the required computational resources.

"As a leader in high performance computing services with past experience with the Navy and Department of Defense contracts and extensive experience supporting WRF and COAMPS, Sabalcore is uniquely qualified to support NAVAIR and their requirements," said John Van Workum, president and co-founder. "Sabalcore's services are flexible, reliable, and scalable which are important for both our private sector and government clients. Under Sabalcore's Dedicated service offering, we were able to fulfill all of NAVAIR's requirements including specific hardware requirements and application support."

Under the terms of the contract, Sabalcore will provide a complete range of services. These services include private cloud operations and maintenance, system administration, software support and consulting.
