Overview
Easy-to-use, comprehensive management software for technical computing
clusters
IBM® Platform HPC is easy-to-use, yet comprehensive technical computing
management software. Its robust cluster and workload management capabilities are
accessible using the latest design in web-based interfaces - making it powerful, yet
easy to use. Platform HPC simplifies the application integration process so that users
can focus on their work, instead of managing a cluster. For applications requiring
MPI, the robust commercial MPI library accelerates and scales HPC applications for
shorter time to solution.
Other HPC cluster solutions just combine multiple tools and interfaces, which are
not integrated, certified, or tested together. Platform HPC is a single product with
a unified set of management capabilities that make it easy to harness the power
and scalability of a technical computing cluster, resulting in shorter time to system
readiness and user productivity as well as optimal throughput. Backed by the
industry's best customer support, Platform HPC incorporates nearly two decades of
product and technology leadership.
IBM Platform HPC delivers the following key benefits:
• Faster time to cluster readiness
• Reduced infrastructure and management costs
• Optimal resource utilization
• Improved user and administrator productivity
• Reduced infrastructure and management costs
• Optimal resource utilization
