Product Detail

Performance and Scalability
Platform Symphony is the industry’s fastest and most scalable SOA grid management software. Platform Symphony provides organizations with a competitive advantage by solving a wide range of parallelizable compute and data-intensive business problems. Complex simulations can be run with sub-millisecond latency and throughput of up to 17,000 tasks per second. Platform Symphony environments can scale as applications require to hundreds of thousands of cores. For organizations that need a fast service-oriented computing infrastructure Platform Symphony’s performance and scalability provides a clear competitive advantage.

Flexible Resource Sharing
A key advantage of Platform Symphony is its sophisticated hierarchical resource sharing model. Platform Symphony’s ability to loan and borrow resources based on policy guarantees users access to owned resources when needed. Departments can also easily share resources not in use with others, and borrow resources dynamically as needed. By avoiding the need for application-specific siloes, users enjoy a better quality of service with reduced infrastructure and management costs. Whether you’re deploying on Linux, Windows, Windows HPC Server, UNIX or all of the above, you can manage your environment as a single shared resource pool with Platform Symphony.

Respond at the Speed of Business
Platform Symphony is able to react instantly to changes in application demand. With the flexibility to adapt when priorities change, Platform Symphony can reallocate over 2,000 compute engines per second to different workloads depending on configurable sharing policies and application priorities. This translates into better application performance, better utilization and an ability to respond quickly to business critical demands.

Ease of Application Integration
Regardless of your development environment, Platform Symphony has you covered. Well documented APIs enable fast integrations of applications written in the following languages:

Extensions provided for Microsoft Visual Studio Professional support compilation free integration of services built as .NET assemblies. Developers can use a step-by-step wizard to integrate and test applications end-to-end without needing to be expert in the Platform Symphony APIs. For Java developers, the ECLIPSE IDE is supported as well.

A freely downloadable Platform Symphony Developer Edition makes developers productive immediately enabling them to develop and test CPU or GPU based applications on their OS of choice without the need for a production grid.

Flexible Resource Harvesting
Most organization have desktops, servers and hypervisors outside of their grid computing environment that are not fully utilized. Four powerful harvesting options for Platform Symphony allow you to tap idle cycles on desktops, servers or leading virtualization platforms including VMware vCenter/vSphere or Citrix XenServer. Platform Symphony services do not interfere with other applications running on these environments and harvested resources are managed directly through the integrated management interface. You can even burst to external public cloud providers based on configurable policies to address periods of peak demand.
