Moab Workload Manager®
Moab Workload Manager is a policy-based job scheduler and event engine that enables utility-based computing for clusters. It simplifies management across one or multiple hardware, operating system, storage, network, license and resource manager environments to increase the ROI of clustered resources, improve system utilization to run between 90-99 percent, and allow for expansion.
Moab Workload Manager combines intelligent scheduling of resources with advanced reservations to process jobs on the right resources at the right time. It also provides flexible policy and event engines that process workloads faster and in line with set business requirements and priorities.

Application Integration
- Identity Management - allow the scheduler to interact with identity and security credentials from Globus or other sources
- Resource Provisioning - allow the scheduler to dynamically modify node resources by installing software packages or patches and operating system to meet current workload needs through integration with software provisioning tools such as Red Carpet Enterprise or other provisioning tools
- Allocation/Billing Manager - allow the scheduler to interact with allocation/billing managers to provide utility like billing reports or managed credit reports using tools such as QBank, Gold or others
- Databases - allow the scheduler to interact with databases to either provide or consume information that is used/provided by another application or data store
