Improve Performance with 90-99% Utilization

• Achieve faster job response times as a result of jobs being optimally placed to run based on real-time workload conditions and rules
• Reach higher and more consistent utilization of resource capacity and capabilities through intelligent scheduling, precise policy controls and high availability services
• Guarantee that jobs run at required times with advance reservations
• Ensure the most important work receives the highest priority and quality of service

Gain Control with Automated Tasks, Policies and Reporting

• Automate administrative tasks and response with custom job, node or system-wide triggers based on any event or condition criteria.
• Use event, condition and time-based policies in a flexible policy engine to ensure usage matches set levels and priorities
• Identify problems, utilization and ROI easily with precise custom reports that provide centralized and visual status reporting on current and historical jobs
• Use resource consumption reports to effectively share costs of cluster maintenance or to drive self-management across users, groups, and organizations
• Complete tasks quicker with a task-based interface, reusable job templates and group operations to streamline changes across groups of users and resources

Controls for Trusted Multi-Group Sharing

• Share resources fairly with policies that ensure agreed upon service levels are delivered to groups and users based on time, capacity, priority and other settings
• Build trust with resource owners by graphically reporting on individually purchased and shared resource usage and enforcement of resource guarantees through service level policies
• Ensure no one exceeds intended usage by applying soft or hard limits
• Encourage groups and users to self-manage resource usage with built-in accounting capabilities that track credit, time or cost usage against maximums
• Simplify administration of access rights with role-based authorization levels and visual maps of user, group and quality of service relationships and settings

Increase User Productivity
