ParityQC relies on flexibility of cloud computing platform
Protection-oriented IaaS platform
Exoscale from A1 Digital is a data protection-oriented IaaS platform that provides on-demand resources for building and hosting applications.
100 percent located in Europe
Exoscale's data centers are 100 percent located in Europe and are therefore fully GDPR compliant. In addition, access to Exoscale is secured by 2-factor authentication.
Instance sizes
Exoscale provides instance sizes for every workload, from small clusters or even individual servers to powerful big data nodes.
"With Exoscale, we are independent of large companies in the US, but benefit from a high degree of flexibility and scalability."
ParityQC uses A1 Digital's cloud hosting platform as the central storage space for all files
Even before Covid-19, not all employees worked in a common office. Therefore, it was clear to the founders relatively quickly that they needed a server structure that allows remote work on the one hand, but on the other hand offers maximum security - as far as possible - due to the activity. The decisive factor in the choice of the server was whether the selected platform or the company behind it itself works in the quantum computing field or builds its own quantum computer. Because ParityQC runs highly sensitive data and its entire codebase on their server, the major providers of cloud computing platforms immediately dropped out. Small providers, on the other hand, were not able to react so flexibly to requirements. Because the cloud computing platform had to be able to scale the necessary server resources in the shortest possible time. At this point, Matthias Farwick, CEO of Txture, provider of cloud transformation and optimization technologies, brought Exoscale into play.
In the end, everything spoke for Exoscale. That's why ParityQC uses A1 Digital's cloud hosting platform as the central storage space for all files and the entire codebase. Everything developed within the company is hosted on Exoscale. The software tools used - usually "self-hosted" - also run via Exoscale and not through the product's own servers.
About ParityQC
ParityQC was founded in January 2020 by Magdalena Hauser and Wolfgang Lechner and provides the blueprint for quantum computers to solve optimization problems. The aim of the platform- and method-independent ParityQC architecture developed by the Innsbruck spin-off company is to reduce the complexity of quantum computers and thus also make them more scalable. In addition, ParityQC has developed the quantum computer-focused ParityOS operating system as a software-as-a-service model in which hardware manufacturers or end users can solve optimization problems on the quantum computer in the future. Twelve employees currently work for Parity QC, mainly quantum physicists who can programme.
