Description
Recent study results indicate that a reasonable percentage of respondents’ overall annual HPC budget goes toward HPC-related third-party professional services. Overall, about half of all respondents spend somewhere between 10% and 50% of their overall HPC budgets on HPC-related professional services.
- Industry was much more committed to professional services than the other major sectors, with 27% of industry survey respondents reporting commitment of 10% to less than 20% of their budgets to HPC-related professional services and about one-quarter of industry sites committing between 20% and 30%.
- More than one-third of government respondents report spending between 10% to less than 20% for HPC professional services.
- The academia sector was the least dependent on professional services, with 40% reporting less than 5% of their annual budgets going to HPC-related professional services.
