Reliance:
Dynamic Capacity Allocation for HPC
For users who are ready to take their HPC environment to the next level, our Reliance product for service governance provides dynamic, application-centric resource provisioning and capacity allocation.
Reliance is a service governance product that provides the essential "brains" of a dynamic computing infrastructure. This unique product automates resource allocation based on application requirements to ensure SLA-based application delivery. Reliance enables contention resolution for dynamically determining which applications should receive allocated resources based on use pre-defined priorities and policies. This optimizes a dedicated HPC or private cloud environment by improving application performance and further automating the provisioning of resources.
How It Works
Reliance plugs into an existing infrastructure and leverages monitoring and management systems to analyze performance issues – and then automatically provisions physical and virtual resources as needed to protect customer SLAs. Reliance also proactively provisions resources based on anticipated issues weighed against customer expectations to ensure SLA violations are avoided, not just reacted to.
Benefits
Implementing Reliance within an HPC environment yields a number of benefits, including:
- SLA-based application performance
- Increased agility and responsiveness
- Reduced time to market for new products and services
- Elimination of error-prone manual processes
- Better utilization of existing resources
- Reduce risk with a drop-in architecture that leverages existing systems
