Powering the Future of Research Through Tri-Compute

Fujitsu is a global technology company committed to making the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation. Operating in over 100 countries, Fujitsu partners with organisations across research, academia, government, and industry to address complex, data-intensive challenges. Fujitsu is advancing a “tri-compute” model, bringing together High Performance Computing (HPC), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and quantum computing as a unified foundation for next-generation research and innovation. In this model, HPC provides the computational backbone for simulation and modelling, AI enables insight and optimisation, and quantum computing serves as a specialised accelerator for solving problems beyond classical limits.

In collaboration with NVIDIA and NetApp, Fujitsu delivers integrated AI and HPC solutions that combine accelerated computing with high-performance data management. This includes the AI Test Drive, providing access to a production-grade environment to explore, validate, and scale advanced workloads. Through this approach, Fujitsu supports organisations in accelerating discovery, reducing complexity, and delivering secure, high-performance outcomes across the research lifecycle.

Do IT Now provides advanced supercomputing services for scientists and engineers. We offer our clients turnkey solutions and technologies for dealing with the most complex problems in High Performance Computing (HPC).
