Who are you guys?
SysFera
2001: Research project from the Graal team (Inria/ENS)DIET: grid middleware
2007: SysFera-DS used within the Dcrypthon projectUsed 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 BatemanICCOS 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 usersA 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
Easier, homogeneous access to resources
For application developers
A consistent way to control HPC applications
Easier, homogeneous access to resources
For existing platforms
Integration to specific business environments
Easier, homogeneous access to resources
On various internal or external resourcesSupercomputers
Clusters
Private/Public Clouds
Workstations
Datacenters
Easier, homogeneous access to resources
Tightly integrated with existing platforms and environments
Compatible and usable concurrently with the solution already in use
SysFera-DS does it all
SysFera-DS does it all
SysFera-DS does it all
Simple access to complex infrastructures
Advanced administration featuresUser management and access control
Monitoring and reporting
Consistent platform for application development
Integration to existing environments
Compatibility with many different resources
Non-intrusive, non-exclusive
Flexible, stable, reliable, performant
Industrializing HPC applications
SysFera-DS turns a complex infrastructure into a private Cloud
Single Sign On = simple access
One code compatible with several ressources
A unified interface leads to unified processes
The power of the community
The power of the community
SysFera-DS is open-source software...
...which means anyone can use it, share it, and contribute to it.
The power of the community
Yes, it means you, too! So feel free to give it a try and become part of the community!
...and more!
