Around the world, companies of all sizes know that high-performance computing provides enterprises of all sizes with high-performance advantages – whether shortening time to market or using simulation and modeling software to accelerate innovation and improve product quality.
Investments in HPC solutions give engineers the ability to quickly transform knowledge into innovative products or inroads into entirely new markets. Forward-looking companies use high performance computing – not just to get ahead - but also to create and sustain competitive advantages.
Although HPC investments offer many benefits, getting the most from those investments can be difficult. Fueled by the insatiable demand for technical computing, today’s workloads are more complex and harder to manage effectively than ever before. Budget challenges make it even more important that enterprises extract all the benefits they can from their HPC investments.
In fact, capitalizing on HPC investments to outpace competitors, while also operating in ways that are cost effective and productive are but a few of the challenges facing HPC users of all sizes today.
From workgroup systems running Microsoft Windows HPC Server or for the largest supercomputers, PBS Works has become the de facto standard for high-performance computing workload and resource management. Only PBS Works combines intelligent scheduling algorithms with application-aware user portals and powerful visualization tools that maximize the return on your HPC investments.
From government research, automotive and aerospace to earth sciences and product simulation, PBS Works maximizes the effectiveness and efficiency of your HPC assets and investments.
In the new vocabulary of today’s business, doing more with less is now business as usual. Enterprises and institutions are placing increasingly higher demands on their high-performance computing infrastructure – larger and more complex applications, dynamic and unpredictable workloads, and optimizing their limited computing resources. At times these challenges can seem insurmountable.
PBS Works software makes it possible to easily create intelligent policies to manage distributed, mixed-vendor computing assets, including applications, as a single, unified system. Based on a policy-driven architecture, PBS Works continually optimizes the way your technical HPC resources are used, ensuring that all resources operate effectively and efficiently. The end result: improved productivity, confidence that you’re meeting service levels, and reduced hardware and software license costs.
