SGI OpenStack RA Use Cases HPC Users

Problem: HPC queue times are long for smaller job runs

Solution: A virtual HPC cluster provides a centralized, secure and flexible infrastructure to support more users and lower queue times

IT Problem: Infrastructure applications (wikis, websites, knowledgebase, etc) are running on dedicated systems without central management

Solution: Use an internal cloud infrastructure to run the applications in virtual machines for central resource management and dynamic scaling

Private HPC Cloud Problem: Multiple users and groups require compartmentalized HPC compute resources

Solution: Design an OpenStack cluster with necessary HPC hardware resources: SGI UV and SGI Rackable

Resource Setup Problem: Virtual infrastructure requires IT support which may take days or weeks depending on queue size

Solution: Users are given a self service portal to spin up their own virtual infrastructure in minutes
