10. Policy-based Cloud Automation
“With Navops Launch you can easily create custom Automation Applets to
dynamically burst and manage your hybrid cloud saving money and driving
cloud efficiencies”
• Workloads burst based on
configurable policies
• Scale up, scale down
• Move data to the right
machine for the right
workload
• Notify users of specific
cloud activity

11. CHALLENGE: SOLUTION:
CUSTOMER VALUE:
Case study: hybrid cloud bursting
Wharton was able to avoid substantial infrastructure costs and user
training while transparently tripling its core count
• Diverse research & analytic workloads
• Growing demands by students and faculty
• Workload requirements hard to predict
• Challenges growing HPC infrastructure
• Univa Grid Engine
• Navops Launch
• Seamless bursting to public cloud
GPUs and TensorFlow
• Significant cost avoidance on new infrastructure
• Improved capacity and strategic flexibility
• Hybrid, pay-per-use model for cost efficiency
The Wharton School is globally known for intellectual leadership
and innovation in business education.

13. CHALLENGE: SOLUTION:
CUSTOMER VALUE:
Case Study: Hybrid Cloud Bursting
Improving EDA license usage by bursting jobs selectively
• Critical simulation & verification workloads
• Need to defer/reduce CapEx
• Unmet demand during peak periods
• On-premises EDA licenses underutilized
• Univa Grid Engine
• Univa License Orchestrator
• Univa Unicloud with auto-scaling
• Hybrid cloud environment
• Avoid resource bottlenecks during tape-out periods
• Reduce cost by paying for capacity only when needed
• Maximize on-premises EDA license usage by shifting non-licensed work to
the cloud, improving productivity
By leveraging Navops Launch, Mellanox can extend their local
cluster to the cloud, providing increased capacity and maximizing
on-prem EDA license usage by workloads to the cloud.

14. Western Digital – Million Core Run

Gaining Competitive Advantage through Extreme Scale
• Reduced time to results from
20 days to 8 hours for critical
simulation workloads
• Ran 2.3 million jobs on 44,000
AWS spot instances (1+ million
cores) with 25 different
instance types
• Spot instances save significant
costs but come and go which
created new technical
challenges. These were
conquered.
