Designed to Solve Enterprise HPC Challenges
While all HPC systems face challenges in workload and resource complexity, scale and demand, enterprise HPC systems face more stringent challenges and expectations. Enterprise HPC systems must meet mission-critical and priority HPC workload demands for commercial businesses and business-oriented research and academic organizations. These organizations have complex SLA and priorities to balance. And their HPC workloads directly impact the revenue, product delivery, and organizational objectives of their organizations.

Enterprise HPC organizations must eliminate job delays and failures. They are also seeking to improve resource utilization and workload management efficiency across multiple heterogeneous systems. To maximize user productivity, they are required to make it easier to access and use HPC resources for users and even expand to other clusters or HPC cloud to better handle workload demand and surges.

Moab manages the world’s largest, most scale-intensive and complex HPC environments in the world including 40% of the top 10 supercomputing systems, and nearly 40% of the top 25 systems and compute cores in the top 100 systems based on rankings from the www.Top500.org. So you know it is battle-tested and ready to efficiently and intelligently manage the complexities of your environment.

Moab HPC Suite - Enterprise Edition offers key benefits to reduce costs, improve service performance, and accelerate the productivity of enterprise HPC systems. These benefits drive the achievement of business objectives and outcomes that depend on the results the enterprise HPC systems deliver. Moab HPC Suite Enterprise Edition delivers:

Productivity acceleration to get more results faster and at a lower cost
Moab HPC Suite – Enterprise Edition gets more results delivered faster from HPC resources to lower costs while accelerating overall system, user and administrator productivity. Moab provides the unmatched scalability, 90-99 percent utilization, and fast and simple job submission that is required to maximize productivity in enterprise HPC organizations. The Moab intelligence engine optimizes workload scheduling and orchestrates resource provisioning and management to maximize workload speed and quantity. It also unifies workload management across heterogeneous resources, resource managers and even multiple clusters to reduce management complexity and costs.

Uptime automation to ensure workload completes successfully HPC job and resource failures in enterprise HPC systems lead to delayed results and missed organizational opportunities and objectives. Moab HPC Suite – Enterprise Edition intelligently automates workload and resource uptime in HPC systems to ensure that workload completes reliably and avoids these failures.

Auto-SLA enforcement to consistently meet service guarantees and business priorities
Moab HPC Suite – Enterprise Edition uses the powerful Moab intelligence engine to optimally schedule and dynamically adjust workload to consistently meet service level agreements (SLAs), guarantees, and business priorities. This automatically ensures that the right workloads are completed at the optimal times, taking into account the complex number of departments, priorities and SLAs to be balanced.

Grid- and Cloud-ready HPC management to more efficiently manage and meet workload demand
The benefits of a traditional HPC environment can be extended to more efficiently manage and meet workload and resource demand by sharing workload across multiple clusters through grid management and the HPC cloud management capabilities provided in Moab HPC Suite – Enterprise Edition.

 

 

Moab HPC Suite - Enterprise Edition is architected to integrate on top of your existing job resource managers and other types of resource managers in your environment. It provides policy-based scheduling and management of workloads as well as resource allocation and provisioning orchestration. The Moab intelligence engine makes complex scheduling and management decisions based on all of the data it integrates from the various resource managers and then orchestrates the job and management actions through those resource managers. It does this without requiring any additional agents. This makes it the ideal choice to integrate with existing and new systems as well as to manage your HPC system as it grows and expands in the future.

Moab HPC Suite – Enterprise Edition includes the patented Moab intelligence engine that enables it to integrate with and automate management across existing heterogeneous environments to optimize management and workload efficiency. This unique intelligence engine includes:

• Industry leading multi-dimensional policies that automate the complex real-time decisions and actions for scheduling workload and allocating and adapting resources. These multi-dimensional policies can model and consider the workload requirements, resource attributes and affinities, SLAs and priorities to enable more complex and efficient decisions to be automated.
• Real-time and predictive future environment scheduling thatdrive more accurate and efficient decisions and service guarantees as it can proactively adjust scheduling and resource allocations as it projects the impact of workload and resource condition changes.
• Open & flexible management abstraction layer lets you integrate the data and orchestrate workload actions across the chaos of complex heterogeneous cluster environments and management middleware to maximize workload control, automation, and optimization. (Diverse processors, memory, hardware and resource types, operating systems, resource management tools, etc.)

Moab HPC Suite – Enterprise Edition Components:

Moab HPC Suite – Enterprise Edition includes the following integrated products and technologies for a complete HPC workload management solution:

• Moab Workload Manager®: Patented multi-dimensional intelligence engine that automates the complex decisions and orchestrates policy-based workload placement and scheduling as well as resource allocation, provisioning and energy management
• Moab Cluster Manager®: Graphical desktop administrator application for managing, configuring, monitoring, and reporting for Moab managed clusters
• Moab Viewpoint™: Web-based user self-service job submission and management portal and administrator dashboard portal
