Mutualizes  and  integrates heterogeneous  and  distributed HPC resources
Who are you guys?
SysFera 2001: Research project from the Graal team (Inria/ENS) DIET: grid middleware 2007: SysFera-DS used within the Décrypthon project Used in production 24/7/365 since then
Selected by IBM to replace Univa-UD 2010: Creation of SysFera, INRIA spin-off
2011: A team of 12  (R&D: 4 engineers and 5 PhD ) Supported by two experts from INRIA and ENS
SysFera-DS
Working with a leading international company Thanks to  SysFera-DS , we can now provide our R&D engineers a  stable ,  reliable  and  performant  solution to access our supercomputers and computing clusters. David Bateman ICCOS Group Manager, EDF
The Problems
Distributed platforms are complex...
...which raises some issues access to resources
numerous accounts
multiple interfaces
integration of applications
dependence on batch schedulers
limited interaction between users, applications and machines
The Solutions
Easier, homogeneous access to resources A unique interface for R&D engineers
Additional features for administrators and IT directors
A consistent way to control applications for HPC applications developers
Integration to the existing platforms and environment
Ability to use diverse resources (clusters, supercomputers, hybrid clouds)
Easier, homogeneous access to resources For users A unique interface for R&D engineers to launch HPC applications
Easier, homogeneous access to resources For administrators and IT directors Additional features including access-rights control, usage monitoring and reporting
