HP Cloud Service Automation

Moab Adaptive Computing Suite™ provides dynamic workload optimization with showback and chargeback for resource usage as a component of the HP Cloud Service Automation cloud management solution. Moab Adaptive Computing Suite automates the decisions and processes of allocating, managing, optimizing, and charging for diverse resources to meet incoming service workloads and changing conditions across their lifecycle. It creates dynamic clouds with optimized utilization and capacity, quality of service, IT efficiency, and reduced costs.

Moab Adaptive Computing Suite is integrated with the advanced applications and infrastructure provisioning in the HP Cloud Service Automation solution. This tight integration provides a continual flow of rich context and information to automate intelligent decisions and actions across the full lifecycle of cloud services makes HP Cloud Service Automation truly self-optimizing.

Moab and HP Cluster Management Utility

Adaptive Computing and HP now provide customers joint dynamic capabilities for creating self-optimizing HPC environments that leverage their HP hardware and HP Cluster Management Utility capabilities. Moab Adaptive HPC Suite™ now uses the rich HP Cluster Management Utility (HP CMU) resource data to optimize and automate workload and resource decisions. Moab then initiates dynamic resource management and provisioning actions through HP CMU to maximize utilization and job throughput and job speed. While Moab® works with most resource management tools, the rich, real-time monitoring and management data and provisioning capabilities of HP CMU coupled with the intelligent decision making capabilities of Moab Adaptive HPC Suite create a powerful solution that addresses the key challenges that are limiting HPC potential today.

HP Cluster Management Utility simplifies the management and the rapid deployment of large Linux clusters and groups of clusters. HP CMU's flexibility and friction-less interface enables optimal workload performance and reduced administrative costs. With Moab Adaptive HPC Suite and HP CMU, you can now leverage the benefits of cloud in your traditional HPC environment with built in dynamic management and optional cloud capabilities that Moab and HP CMU together can provide.

HP Dynamic Workload Utility

Workload-aware, real-time infrastructure with Moab and HP Dynamic Workload Utility.

HP and Adaptive Computing work closely to deploy automated scale-out infrastructures for private clouds and grids, with a dynamic workload utility that integrates Moab with HP iLO (integrated Lights Out processor), HP SA (Server Automation), and applications to deliver end-to-end intelligent automation, provisioning, and infrastructure management that requires minimal human intervention.

The Dynamic Workload Utility developed by HP supports non-HP hardware and a variety of operating systems. Moab orchestrates the Dynamic Workload Utility environment and makes intelligent decisions in the environment to enforce and optimize existing and future SLAs. It also connects the various components of cloud infrastructure such as monitoring and provisioning.

IBM xCAT

Intelligently orchestrate your next-generation data center to adapt to your project, application, and workload needs in real time with Moab and xCAT.

IBM's open-source xCAT (Extreme Cluster Administration Toolkit) technology is a scalable, distributed compute management and provisioning tool that provides a unified interface for hardware control, discovery, and OS diskful/diskfree deployment for cloud and data center environments. xCAT is used to easily deploy systems and to maintain and update software on a system throughout its life. xCAT is also used to monitor compute resources to provide administrative insight into the health of the environment.

Combined on IBM hardware, Moab and xCAT enable workload-aware automation that delivers on energy-management initiatives and dynamic optimization based on workload and application needs, failure-recovery scenarios, self-healing, and service-level enforcement.

Moab Interoperates with Penguin Computing’s Scyld ClusterWare™ and POD

Scyld ClusterWare™ is an HPC cluster management solution that is designed to make the deployment and management of a Linux cluster as easy as the deployment and management of a single system. Scyld ClusterWare makes it possible to leverage the superior price/performance ratio of Linux on commodity hardware without the pain of having to individually manage a multitude of systems. Users can rely on the interoperability of all layers of the HPC software and hardware stack.

Scyld comes pre-configured with Adaptive Computing’s Moab Cluster SuiteTM or Moab Adaptive HPC SuiteTM. Moab Cluster Suite is a policy-based multi-dimensional decision engine that integrates scheduling, managing, monitoring, and reporting of cluster workloads. Moab Adaptive HPC Suite is a dynamic workload and resource manager that schedules, monitors, manages and dynamically optimizes and adapts HPC workloads and resources to meet demand, SLAs and priorities. Moab product suites create self-optimizing HPC environments and HPC clouds with maximized job output speed and capacity with reduced management burden.
