At 4D-SPEC, we’re redefining how businesses in mining, engineering, and science access and leverage high-performance computing (HPC). Whether you’re running resource-intensive simulations, geological models, or complex CAD applications, 4D-SPEC delivers the power, flexibility, and industry-specific support needed to get the job done—faster, smarter, and more affordably.
What We Do
4D-SPEC provides custom-engineered computing infrastructure – from powerful desktop workstations to scalable HPC clusters—purpose-built for demanding technical users. We specialise in supporting professionals who work with large datasets, sophisticated modelling software, and compute-heavy workflows.
Our services include:
- HPC as a Service (HPCaaS) – On-demand compute resources tailored to engineering, mining, and scientific software.
- Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) – Physical or virtual machines, configured to your specs and managed by our technical team.
- Legacy System Hosting – Running older operating systems and software reliably for clients with compatibility needs.
- On-Premise Support – Local deployment and support for teams that require offline or secure computing environments.
Whether you’re a consultant working from remote locations or a mining firm evaluating pit shells across thousands of scenarios, we bring computing power to where it’s needed most.
