WHAT IS BOOSTEROID?

- Oktober 03, 2017

Introduction

A person of the 21st century lives in an insane rhythm and has to solve many difficult tasks as fast as possible. It was impossible to fulfill them not long ago, but now, thanks to the development of the Internet and brand new technologies, the future becomes our reality.

Today, the most urgent issue is the continuous access to modern resources that will facilitate and accelerate solutions of global problems, will allow them to be carried out worldwide and online. The answer to this question is hidden in the use of cloud computing technologies, which is becoming more and more popular every day.

Cloud computing is a model of convenient network access to configurable computing resources than can easily be provided and released with minimum operating costs or contacting the provider.

There are two main cloud types - public and private. Public cloud is used for free access of a wide audience while private is used by one organization that includes several consumers.

Tendencies and problems in the development of the world cloud computing market

Total expenses of users working “in the cloud” reached $209,2 billion in 2016, whereas in 2015 the number was $175 billion, according to the American consulting firm Gartner. Thus, users’ expenses increased by $35 billion within a year. Considering analysts' forecasts expenses for a cloud are to reach approximately $246,8 billion in 2017 and will exceed $380 billion by 2020.

Such a high demand for these services is caused by an active transition of IT-industry data into cloud. Respectively, information technologies increasingly require high-performance resources to solve various tasks from artificial intelligence development to gaming, VR or analytics (Big Data analytics).

Today more than 70% of cloud computing market is occupied by leading providers. Amazon Web Services takes the lead (around 34％), much smaller share is taken by Microsoft (11%), IBM (8%), Google (5%) and others.

An average one hour rental costs of a computation node on the basis of eight NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards, two Intel Xeon E5 2680v4 processors, RAM 256Gb, SSD 960Gb (or their equivalent) offered by market leaders for European countries are:

Company name	Equipment	Price, dollar/hour
1	Amazon Web Services	Station p2.8xlarge. - 8 x GPU Nvideo Tesla K80, - vCPU 32 cores (2.3 GHz Intel Xeon® E5-2686 v4 (Broadwell) processors or 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon® E5-2676 v3 (Haswell), - RAM 488Gb, - SSD 1Tb, - 10Gbit/s	10,6
2	Microsoft Azure	Station NC24r - 8 x GPU Nvideo Tesla K80, - vCPU 24 cores ( 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon® E5-2676 v3 (Haswell), - RAM 224GB, - SSD 1.440 GB, - 10 Gbit/s	10,26
3	Google Cloud	Custom configuration - 8 x GPU Nvideo Tesla K80, - vCPU 32 cores processors or 2.4 GHz Intel Xeon® E5 2676 v3 (Haswell), - RAM 256Gb (up to 455 GB of RAM), - SSD space 3x375 GB, - 10 Gbit/s	6,5

* IBM provides computer rental services in a private cloud. Their cost is calculated individually.

New market players cannot offer significantly lower prices, as they develop only software products - add-ins for combining of already existing computing resources - and do not have their own hardware.

Solutions

In order to make the rent of computing capacities as accessible as possible we started working on the Boosteroid project in October 2016.

Our team consists of information technology and artificial intelligence professionals. Initially, we were involved in assembling computer nodes based on 6/8 NVIDIA graphics cards and Intel Xeon processors, which we used to conduct complex calculations in the field of artificial intelligence. To ensure that high-performance equipment does not stand idle, we leased it out and were engaged in crypto-currency mining.

We gained our experience and found out that due to our own architecture and constant capacity utilization, the cost of cloud computing is significantly reduced. Therefore, we will be able to provide the service at a price much lower than offered by leading market players. Budget-friendly rent will make Boosteroid available to every user of the World Wide Web.
