1 What Cloud Can Do For Industry Panel at ISC 2016 Wednesday, June 22 01:45-02:45 pm Panorama 3 - Industry Track

2 Why did we select Software Providers for this panel? - From all constituencies in the HPC Cloud space ISVs are the ones being closest to the end-user - One of the greatest challenges for end-users to get to an HPC Cloud is often their ISV s (traditional, modified) license model - ISV licenses are usually an important cost factor - The ISV choosing a well-suited HPC Cloud licensing model can drastically simplify cloud usage for end-users

3 Our Panelists - Wim Slagter Director HPC and Cloud Marketing, ANSYS - Winfried Geis Branch Manager, COMSOL Multiphysics GmbH - Bill Bryce VP of Products at Univa - Nicola Venuti Business Development Manager at NICE Software

4 HPC as a Service: benefits & challenges HPC as a Service Benefits: Flexibility, business agility, scaling up and down, pay-per-use, instead of buying expensive HPC systems, but there are challenges too: + It s a new business and working paradigm + Security, privacy, trust in service provider + Software Licensing + Data transfers + Losing control

5 ANSYS Fluids Power Integrity Structures Systems Electromagnetics Thermal *BusinessWeek, FORTUNE Embedded Software

6 ANSYS Open Cloud Strategy TM Multiple cloud platforms, vendors, solution and licensing types

7 COMSOL Founded 1986 in Stockholm (as MATLAB distributor, FEMLAB) 500 employees, subsidiaries in 16 countries, worldwide network of distributors The COMSOL idea Focus on the essentials: provide a comprehensive intuitive CAE-tool for everyone The COMSOL platform COMSOL Multiphysics & Application Builder COMSOL Server (Application deployment) COMSOL Certified Partners

8 COMSOL cloud related offering COMSOL Multiphysics Support for schedulers and remote computing (SSH) Client-Server and job detaching for minimal data transfer COMSOL Application Builder and Server Wizard/IDE to create an application from any model Worldwide access to COMSOL applications (e.g. via included web-portal) COMSOL licensing Independent of model size and design parameters Independent of hardware resources used (tunneling allowed) Cloud burst with included extra seat for job offloading

9 Univa Univa is the leading innovator of workload orchestration and container optimization solutions Univa Grid Engine Manages workload for Big Compute and Big Data shared infrastructures Univa Resource Broker Mesos Framework runs unchanged in a Univa Grid Engine Cluster Univa Short Jobs - Build and manage large short running job workflows UniSight - Accounting, reporting and monitoring on one or more clusters UniCloud - Automates flexing of Big Compute and Big Data shared infrastructures Univa License Orchestrator - Ensures prioritized access to expensive software licenses

10 UniCloud Simple, Unified Management of Cloud Servers and Clusters Supports multiple cloud models: Burst, Hybrid, Cloud, Multi-Cloud Linux-based node provisioning and deployment tool Fully automated configuration management of nodes Add-on support for new virtualization/cloud platforms Support for VMware vsphere, Google Compute Engine, Amazon EC2, OpenStack, RackSpace, others can be added. Licensing is flexible: by core, host or deployment size. No license enforcement in code licensing by agreement. Licensing typically tied to Univa Grid Engine usage.

11 About NICE Company: Focus on technical computing since 1996 Partners all around the world Part of Amazon Web Service since March 2016 Expertise: Industry veterans around Technical Computing, HPC solutions and Remote Visualization Core business: Cloud infrastructures for Technical Computing Work, visualize, and collaborate in HPC EnginFrame and DCV product

12 Technical Computing in the Cloud Workstation Mobility Dynamic Sizing Security: No data motion Efficient replacing Cost controlling Zero overhead

13 UberCloud July 2012: Starting with community building and cloud experiments Mar 2013: Developing HPC Docker => UberCloud CAE containers Nov 2014: Opening online marketplace, 40 stores for engineers Apr 2016: CAE software containers for: ANSYS, CD-adapco, CFDturbo, CFDSupport, COMSOL, Dacolt, Flow Science, Friendship Systems, LS-Dyna, NICE DCV, Numeca, OpenFOAM, Red Cedar, SIMULIA Abaqus, On Cloud Resources from Advania, Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, Bull extreme factory, CPU 24/7, Google Compute Engine, OzenCloud

14 Questions for the panelists - Why have you added a cloud-based component to your products and services and what benefits do you expect for your company and your customers? - When talking to your customers about cloud computing, what are still the major challenges they are facing? - How do you help them to overcome these challenges? - ISVs themselves face a big challenge: jeopardizing their traditional license model and with that also their continuous revenue. How do you make sure that this won t happen? - Most of the cloud-related licensing models are still quite limited, not flexible enough, not fully on-demand, available only for a longer period (e.g. days, weeks, months). My experience is they want real on-demand solutions. Are you taking this into account (in the near future)?
