    These days it is pretty simple to "roll your own" HPC so it is interesting that this is still a business model for them. Inertia I guess, since some major HPC names still use Suse as a base on their clusters (Cray comes to mind).

      certifications are still a thing, I guess.

        Could be ... Maybe I'm just lucky that the clusters I've worked on and am still working are mostly academic and require next to nothing in terms of licensed software and certifications.

          I would imagine that the support contracts are the most important aspect. Institutions aren't as likely to plow 6-figure or 7-figure budgets into DIY clusters with no possibility of a support contract.

            Then I'm for sure lucky, since I run 7-figure budget & cluster in DIY mode with very happy users

              It's actually the other way around imho.

              Companies have something to lose, institutions don't (their grants still come at regular intervals even if their cluster crashed and burned in very inappropriate times).
