2 organizations are facing increasing pressure to deliver critical services to their users while their budgets are either reduced or maintained at current levels. New technologies have the potential to deliver industrychanging information to users who need data in real time, but only if the IT infrastructure is designed and implemented to do so. While computing power con tinues to decline in cost, the management of large data centers, together with the associated costs of running these data centers, increases. The server administration over the life of the computer asset will consume about 75 percent of the total cost. Cost to Manage a Small Server Farm Number of servers = 200 Loaded cost of system admin = $150,000 Useful life of server = Five years Cost to manage a server for Five years = ($150,000/200) * Five years = $3,750 Percent of server cost = ($3,500/$5,000) = 0.75 Scaling an existing data center in many cases is not possible as demands from users increase, and as the real estate respond to critical needs while costs remain under control and predictable. With more compute power available to organizations than previously possible, business innovation on many fronts is just a click away when working with a cloud computing provider. Provide realtime transparency into personnel, department, and project resource consumption for planning, administrative and billing purposes INTRODUCTION

3 Penguin Computing on Demand (POD), Public Cloud Resource High Performance Computing at Your Fingertips Penguin s Public Cloud, POD, Penguin Computing On Demand allows organizations to utilize a highperformance, baremetal, HPC computing environment in the cloud without having to invest in onpremise infrastructure. Nor do you have to deal with multitenant cloud environments and the performance, scalability and security challenges associated with shared infrastructure. Computational jobs are easy to submit and monitor from either a traditional Linux CLI environment, or through the use of an intuitive and secure web portal. POD s HPC cluster is readytorun with hundreds of applications preinstalled eliminating much of the complexity of building, managing and scaling highperformance computing environments. This Support by HPC Experts Penguin Computing has well over a decade in optimizing HPC environments and applications. As a user of POD, we pro getting the best experience out of POD. Private Cloud Customers who have a requirement for computing resources to be located at facilities they already have available ter and will take care of all operational and maintenance tasks using a combination of remote and onsite resources. Hybrid Cloud augment their internal capacity. Many businesses have in house clusters that meet their daily demand. Sometimes PENGUIN S CLOUD COMPUTING MODELS AND TYPES

4 Comprehensive management tool to cloudenable HPC environments Managing the administration requirements of a multitude of users and groups in an HPC environment is a complex challenge. Penguin Computing designed Scyld Cloud Manager (SCM) to streamline management processes and bottlenecks. SCM, which can be integrated with an existing HPC cluster or run as a standalone VM cloud environment, is a comprehensive solution to manage users, groups, VMs, storage, access control and reporting of an HPC environment. It also provides a brandable web portal frontend for administrators and end users. An Internetbased platform, SCM uses Web service APIs to provide an extensible framework for custom integration into your existing IT infrastructure. What s more, SCM includes Fully integrated, HPC cloud solution for administrators and endusers Guided selfregistration Web portal to onboard users onto HPC resources Web portal interface allows access rights management and system monitoring Live and historical usage reporting for billing and chargeback management Web service application programming interfaces (APIs) for reporting, resource management and access control Ceph storage for redundant, highperformance VM storage SCYLD CLOUD MANAGER

5 3D Accelerated, Remote Desktops POD s remote visualization solution is designed for HPC desktop applications enabling realtime interactive GUI ise workstations to postprocess simulations a process that can be frustrating, tedious and detrimental to a project s timeline. POD provides highend workstation performance in an ondemand cloud environment. Users simply connect to the HPC environment from virtually any device running Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome or Safari. No plugins or appli This unique architecture saves bandwidth, improving image quality and ensuring nearuniversal accessibility for users. Clientless remote desktop. Available directly from your web browser No browser plugin or application installation necessary Designed for HPC desktop applications and post processing tools Highend workstation performance in an ondemand cloud environment NVIDIA GRID technology provides H.264 quality with minimal latency Minimum performance and resolution at 1440x900@30fps Support of all major browsers (Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox) SCYLD CLOUD WORKSTATION

6 Arizona State University was challenged to provide a ubiquitous compute environment to bridge the gaps of economic diversity in their university research. The ASU CIO recently stated, 80% of wellknown workloads will be in the cloud in 3 years. Penguin Computing s POD provides the road map by which this becomes possible. ASU chose POD for many reasons, among them bare metal nodes, processor homogeneity, supported computational applications and ease of access. POD has been deployed and is to supporting funded opportunities campus wide. Already, forty percent of ASU HPC jobs run on POD including WRF, Simulia, MATLAB, R, OpenFOAM, BLAST, Galaxy, and others. ASU is ready for the next chapter of Data Intensive and OpenStack integration. Jay Etchings, ASU s Director of Operations for Research Computing and Senior HPC Architect said, In academia we run a lean ship. Access to HPC experts do it yourself infrastructure.
