Fiji Meteorological Services High Performance Computing (HPC) - A First-of-its-kind in Fiji
VirtualFlex, in partnership with Lenovo
implemented a unique High Perfor-
mance Computing (HPC) for Fiji Mete-
orological Services in collaboration with
the World Meteorological Organisation
(WMO), and Agency for Meteorology,
Climacy and Geophysics of the Republic
of Indonesia (BKMG). This first-of-its-
kind in Fiji solution enables the local
computing of numerical weather predic-
tion data which then can be distributed
to the regional public. Using this tech-
nology, the Fiji Met services will be
better able to gather more predictable
data to consistently forecast weather
