Sysfera is a company that evolved from a research project focused on grid middleware, providing integrated access to diverse high-performance computing resources through its product, sysfera-ds. This software simplifies resource management for R&D engineers, administrators, and application developers by offering a unified interface and advanced administrative features. Sysfera-ds is open-source, allowing users to contribute, use, and share the software within the community.

1. Mutualizes and integrates heterogeneous and distributed HPC resources

2. Who are you guys?

3. 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

4. Selected by IBM to replace Univa-UD 2010: Creation of SysFera, INRIA spin-off

5. 2011: A team of 12 (R&D: 4 engineers and 5 PhD ) Supported by two experts from INRIA and ENS

6. SysFera-DS

7. 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

8. The Problems

9. Distributed platforms are complex...

10. ...which raises some issues access to resources

11. numerous accounts

12. multiple interfaces

13. integration of applications

14. dependence on batch schedulers

15. limited interaction between users, applications and machines

16. The Solutions

17. Easier, homogeneous access to resources A unique interface for R&D engineers

18. Additional features for administrators and IT directors

19. A consistent way to control applications for HPC applications developers

20. Integration to the existing platforms and environment

21. Ability to use diverse resources (clusters, supercomputers, hybrid clouds)

22. Easier, homogeneous access to resources For users A unique interface for R&D engineers to launch HPC applications

23. Easier, homogeneous access to resources For administrators and IT directors Additional features including access-rights control, usage monitoring and reporting
