Parallel Works CEO Matthew Shaxted joins Hammerspace CEO David Flynn for a live webinar on why teams running work across on-premises HPC, hyperscalers, and GPU neoclouds can no longer treat compute orchestration and data orchestration as separate problems. The discussion is moderated by Paul Nashawaty, Practice Lead for Application Development and Modernization.

What the session covers

Organizations now run workloads across on-premises clusters, public clouds, and dedicated GPU capacity — and each environment brings its own scheduler, identity model, and storage. Stitching them together after the fact is where time and budget go.

The conversation draws on lessons from real deployments, including one that onboarded 100 users to Kubernetes and Slurm in three days and reached 95% cluster utilization in two weeks. Topics include:

  • Where to start with unified orchestration across sites and clouds
  • Bringing compute and data orchestration together rather than solving each separately
  • Building security into the platform instead of adding it on
  • The path toward a single orchestration plane
