Moab® Wide Area Grid is a powerful grid-workload management solution that enables unified scheduling, intelligent policy enforcement, integrated resource management, and data staging across multiple HPC clusters. It connects disparate clusters into a logical whole within minutes, allowing organizations to consolidate reporting, synchronize management, and optimize workload sharing. The system operates transparently for users, enhancing productivity without requiring awareness of the underlying grid infrastructure.

Features

• Unified Grid Management: Consolidates multiple clusters into a single logical grid with centralized or hybrid policy control.
• Intelligent Scheduling: Uses a multi-dimensional intelligence engine to optimize job throughput and resource utilization.
• Integrated Resource Management: Coordinates resources across clusters without requiring replacement of existing resource managers.
• Data Staging: Automates data movement based on job location and timing, avoiding resource blocking and improving efficiency.
• Flexible Architecture: Supports centralized, hybrid, and peer-to-peer grid configurations.
• Cross-Cluster Optimization: Balances workloads across clusters to prevent bottlenecks and idle resources.
• Grid-Wide Reporting Tools: Provides unified views of resource status, usage trends, and capacity planning metrics.
• SLA Enforcement: Automatically enforces service-level agreements across grid and local clusters.
• Administrative Control: Allows granular access control across departments and business units.
• Simplified Job Submission: Includes job templates, grid-aware job arrays, and optional user portals.

Benefits

• Accelerated Productivity: Faster job start times and throughput via policy-driven automation.
• Reduced Complexity: Unified management reduces administrative overhead and simplifies operations.
• Improved Resource Utilization: Balances workloads to maximize use of available compute resources.
• Scalable Infrastructure: Supports heterogeneous grids and scales to exascale environments.
• Enhanced User Experience: Transparent grid operations and simplified interfaces improve usability.
• Cost Efficiency: Reduces overhead and improves ROI by optimizing multi-cluster environments.
• Flexible Integration: Works with existing systems and adapts to future growth.
• Advanced Control: Enables centralized and decentralized policy enforcement for diverse organizational needs.
