Moab Cloud for the HPC Suite Adds New Capabilities

Today Adaptive Computing Enterprises announced that it has changed the name of its flagship software product “Moab” to “Moab Cloud for the HPC Suite.” The new name more accurately reflects the product’s additional cloud-bursting capabilities. “Moab Cloud for the HPC Suite adds a new level of benefits for HPC ecosystems by combining the time-tested elements of Moab with advanced cloud-bursting capabilities. The new solution can “burst” additional workloads to an external cloud on-demand. It is easy to use, manage, and configure and integrates with on-premise resources. It offers full stack provisioning, is automated, and is very cost-effective for customers.”

Adaptive Computing rolls out Moab HPC Suite 9.1.2

Today Adaptive Computing announced the release of Moab 9.1.2, an update which has undergone thousands of quality tests and includes scores of customer-requested enhancements. “Moab is a world leader in dynamically optimizing large-scale computing environments. It intelligently places and schedules workloads and adapts resources to optimize application performance, increase system utilization, and achieve organizational objectives. Moab’s unique intelligent and predictive capabilities evaluate the impact of future orchestration decisions across diverse workload domains (HPC, HTC, Big Data, Grid Computing, SOA, Data Centers, Cloud Brokerage, Workload Management, Enterprise Automation, Workflow Management, Server Consolidation, and Cloud Bursting); thereby optimizing cost reduction and speeding product delivery.”

Adaptive Computing Launches Moab/NODUS for HPC Cloud Bursting

Today Adaptive Computing announced Moab/NODUS Cloud Bursting, making HPC cloud strategies more accessible than ever before. “Considering that public cloud bursting is usually extremely challenging, the Moab/NODUS Cloud Bursting Solution is brilliant in its ability to integrate seamlessly with existing management infrastructure,” said Art Allen, President, Adaptive Computing Enterprises, Inc.

OCF Builds Isca Supercomputer for Life Sciences at University of Exeter

Researchers from across the University of Exeter can now benefit from a new HPC machine – Isca – that was configured and integrated by OCF to give the university a larger capacity for computational research. “We’ve seen in the last few years a real growth in interest in High-Performance Computing from life sciences, particularly with the availability of new high-fidelity genome sequencers, which have heavy compute requirements, and that demand will keep going up.”

Adaptive Computing Releases Moab HPC Suite 9.1.1

Today Adaptive Computing announces the latest release of Moab HPC Suite and related add-ons. The new release extends ease-of-use submission and workload management to new platforms by delivering a release of Viewpoint that can now work directly with either Torque or Slurm. Because of this “Open Platform” extension, other related products now automatically work with either resource manager, including remote visualization, submissions of high throughput workloads (Nitro enables tens of thousands to millions of tasks), and use of Adaptive Computing’s new Reporting & Analytics solution.

Adaptive Computing steps up with High Productivity Remote Visualization

Today Adaptive Computing announced it has integrated Remote Visualization with Moab’s workload submission portal, Viewpoint, in order to improve ease-of-use and increase user productivity. “Adaptive Computing is transforming our customers’ experience so that technology is no longer a barrier and users are more empowered in their efforts to cure cancer, build safer vehicles, and better our overall environment,” says Marty Smuin, CEO of Adaptive Computing. “This latest innovation helps automate the experience in such a way that organizations can both reduce costs through sharing and improve productivity through faster application interaction and increased collaboration.”
