Traditional technical computing implementations are deployed through purpose-built cluster and grid resources, resulting in monolithic silos, which are often either not fully utilized or overloaded. However, with the rise of Cloud Computing and new techniques for managing Big Data Analytics workloads, this scenario is changing. This presentation explores how Cloud and Workload Management solutions provide a mechanism to transform isolated technical computing resources into a shared resource pool for both compute- and data-intensive applications. On-demand access to resources that can be rapidly provisioned based on workload requirements provides research flexibility, easy access to resources, reduced management overhead, and optimal infrastructure utilization.
