CloudFuzion One Click Clusters on Amazon’s EC2

Axceleon Optimizes Management of HPC Clusters on AWS

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Axceleon, a leader in high performance cloud computing solutions for computational grids, render farms and cloud environments announced today that its CloudFuzion product can automatically build High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters on Amazon’s EC2 within minutes with one mouse click. Axceleon’s CloudFuzion PaaS (platform as a service) allows customers to build standalone compute clusters easily on-demand on Amazon’s EC2 platform. These HPC clusters managed by CloudFuzion consist of a head node and can have any number of compute nodes. Compute nodes can be any size and any core count. HPC clusters are used in finance, science, power grid management, 3D animation, gaming and engineering applications.

“Amazon’s EC2 platform scales infinitely and is very cost effective. It is the logical choice for Axceleon to promote and launch its automated CloudFuzion one-click HPC compute farm”

“Amazon’s EC2 platform scales infinitely and is very cost effective. It is the logical choice for Axceleon to promote and launch its automated CloudFuzion one-click HPC compute farm,” said Mary Keogh, CEO of Axceleon. “We are strongly committed to the 3D animation industry and recently used CloudFuzion to build a 50 machine render farm on EC2 in 5 minutes. We used mental images “mental ray” premium instances for the render nodes and had the render farm rendering images immediately all launched and managed by CloudFuzion. Using partner products, like Aspera’s next generation file transfer software, scene data is moved quickly to and from the CloudFuzion EC2 render farm and makes rendering on-demand a reality for all studios,” commented Mary Keogh.

About CloudFuzion

Axceleon is the provider of CloudFuzion and EnFuzion. The CloudFuzion platform is available as a service (PaaS) and used on larger public clouds, grids and high performance computing environments and runs natively on all major OS platforms Windows^®, Linux^®, Mac OS^® . CloudFuzion has a full API for rapid development and deployment of applications for execution on the cloud. CloudFuzion’s proprietary technology consisting of pluggable service modules for communication, messaging, job development, job serving, job dispatching, job management using the concept of multiple run containers running simultaneously on worker nodes, cluster and network membership by CloudFuzion’s scheduler service module or root and compute node, both persistence and non-persistence methodologies, the ability to schedule and execute multiple tasks to/on multiple clients/nodes and return results to the root machine have been developed over the last 8 years by Axceleon. CloudFuzion’s generator and preparator modules automatically build parameter sweeps, via a GUI.

EnFuzion is deployed in power/energy utilities, 3D, financial, bioinformatics, scientific research, telecommunications and engineering, where it helps users to get more results faster. EnFuzion was one of the first sizeable deployments of grid computing technology on Wall Street in 2000. To learn about CloudFuzion, EnFuzion please visit http://www.axceleon.com
