Moab Viewpoint enhancements extend company's commitment to providing ideal automation solutions to world's largest supercomputing centers
HAMBURG, June 1 -- Adaptive Computing, the company behind the Moab unified intelligent automation technology, today announced the availability of new releases of Moab Viewpoint, a next-generation self-service Web portal. The new capabilities extend Moab Viewpoint's powerful capabilities at private cloud creation and management from enterprise datacenters to HPC customers and environments. By leveraging the proven capabilities of Moab Cluster Suite and Moab Adaptive HPC Suite, Moab Viewpoint enables organizations running the world's leading supercomputers to implement HPC as a Service (HPCaaS) and workload-driven HPC cloud architectures.
In April, Adaptive Computing announced the availability of Moab Viewpoint 1.0, a Web portal targeting enterprise customers that require an ideal framework for managing virtual private clouds and its server infrastructure. Moab Viewpoint 1.1 is available in June for HPC users and addresses the specific requirements of HPC workloads. Moab Viewpoint 1.2 delivers enhanced HPC cloud administration capabilities and will be available in August.
Together the new releases enable organizations to provide applications and resources as services for compute-intensive environments, and significantly reduce the burdensome requirement of understanding exactly how applications interact with the underlying system architecture.
New Moab Viewpoint features include:
"Adaptive Computing solutions are trusted by the most security-sensitive and scale-intensive computing environments in the world, including leading government, commercial, academic, and research laboratories," said Michael Jackson, COO and president of Adaptive Computing. "Moab Viewpoint speeds the delivery of vital new services for our customers and adds portal-based management capabilities to their existing HPC environments."

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

When it comes to cloud, long distances mean unacceptably high latencies. Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany examined those latency issues of doing CFD modeling in the cloud by utilizing a common CFD and its utilization in HPC instance types including both CPU and GPU cores of Amazon EC2.
