In 2022, University of Bath began adopting Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services (AI) as part of its cloud HPC and AI initiative, extending its Janus supercomputing environment into Cognitive Computing use cases for research and teaching. The Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services (AI) deployment is positioned to give researchers access to prebuilt AI capabilities while aligning with the universitys broader strategic move to cloud first infrastructure.
The implementation is architected on top of the Janus Azure HPC + AI environment, which runs across 21 virtual machine instances using Azure Spot Virtual Machines, HB, HBv2, HBv3, HC, Fsv2, NCsv3, and NDv2 node types. Azure CycleCloud is used to automate, configure, and manage cluster provisioning, and storage for AI workloads is provisioned through Azure Blob Storage, Azure NetApp Files, and Azure Disk Storage, enabling mixed hot and warm storage tiers plus temporary scratch volumes for model training and data processing.
Operational coverage spans academic research groups and student computing courses across science, engineering, mathematics, and computer science, and the Cognitive Services capabilities are being made available to scientists working on chemistry simulations, astrophysics data reduction, climate research, and public health projects. The Janus cloud environment complements the universities on premise Anatra high throughput cluster, which is scheduled for decommissioning in a later phase, and University of Bath has signaled plans to automate parts of the data lifecycle to move data between cheaper and more performant storage tiers.
Governance and rollout follow a phased approach, with Janus described as a phase one environment to build a user base in Azure and a longer term five year plan to move most systems and research compute to the cloud. Early outcomes reported by the university include dramatically reduced compute times for common workloads, faster turnaround for researcher requests, migration of several student courses to the cloud, and maintained safeguards for sensitive research data, all enabled by combining Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services (AI) with Azure HPC + AI infrastructure.
