Our Key Services for Resellers

1. RFP Development for HPC Procurement

An effective RFP is critical to ensuring that vendors fully understand your HPC requirements and can provide tailored solutions that meet your needs. Our RFP development services include:

  • Needs Assessment: Working closely with your team to understand your performance, scalability, and budget requirements for the HPC system.
  • Technical Specification Writing: Crafting detailed specifications for hardware, software, networking, storage, and any specialized components like GPUs or FPGAs.
  • Scope Definition: Defining the project scope, timelines, and service-level agreements (SLAs) to ensure that vendors understand your expectations.
  • Selection Criteria: Developing clear, objective criteria for evaluating vendor responses, such as cost, performance benchmarks, energy efficiency, and future scalability.
  • Compliance and Legal Requirements: Ensuring that all regulatory, security, and compliance considerations are included, especially for industries with strict guidelines such as healthcare or finance.
  • Vendor Communication: Providing templates and instructions for vendors to follow, ensuring that responses are consistent, complete, and easy to evaluate.
2. Proposal Writing for HPC Grants and Funding

Securing funding for HPC projects can be highly competitive. A compelling, well-structured proposal can make the difference between winning and losing the support you need. Our proposal writing services include:

  • Project Definition and Objectives: Clearly outlining the purpose of the HPC project, the research or business goals it supports, and the expected outcomes.
  • Technical Approach: Explaining the HPC architecture, algorithms, and software tools you will use to achieve your objectives, along with detailed performance benchmarks or modeling results.
  • Budget Justification: Providing a clear, detailed breakdown of the costs associated with the project, including hardware, software, personnel, and operational expenses.
  • Impact and Benefits: Articulating the broader impact of the project, including scientific, commercial, or societal benefits, and how it supports innovation in your field.
  • Collaborations and Partnerships: Highlighting any partnerships with academic institutions, research organizations, or private companies that will enhance the project’s chances of success.
  • Proposal Formatting and Compliance: Ensuring the proposal meets all submission guidelines, including formatting, length, and content requirements specific to the funding body (e.g., NSF, DOE, EU Horizon, private investors).
3. Vendor Evaluation Support

Once the RFP responses are received, evaluating vendor proposals can be complex, especially when comparing different technologies, architectures, and cost models. Our team provides:

  • Response Analysis: Analyzing vendor responses against the technical specifications and evaluation criteria defined in the RFP.
  • Benchmark Comparison: Comparing vendor-provided benchmarks and performance data against your workloads to ensure the proposed solutions will meet your performance and scaling requirements.
  • Cost-Benefit Analysis: Weighing the total cost of ownership (TCO), including initial acquisition costs, operational expenses, and long-term maintenance against performance and scalability.
  • Risk Assessment: Identifying potential risks in vendor solutions, such as scalability issues, vendor lock-in, or lack of future-proofing.
  • Final Recommendation: Providing a detailed evaluation report with recommendations on the best-fit vendor solutions based on your needs.
4. Custom Proposal Writing for Special Projects

Some HPC projects require bespoke proposals to meet specific funding or project requirements, particularly in industries like defense, pharmaceuticals, or large-scale scientific research. We offer custom proposal writing services for these unique needs:

  • Technical Roadmaps: Developing detailed technical roadmaps that outline the project’s phases, including hardware deployment, software integration, and workload testing.
  • Multi-Institutional Collaborations: Writing proposals that involve complex collaborations between multiple institutions or organizations, ensuring that all parties’ roles and responsibilities are clearly defined.
  • Specialized Requirements: Addressing unique technical or regulatory requirements, such as HIPAA compliance in healthcare HPC projects or ITAR regulations in defense.
