  6. EnginFrame in a nutshell • Fully standards based Grid Portal • J2EE, Java, Tomcat, XML/XSL • Solves back-end integration problems • Visual rendering for most Grid objects • jobs, job arrays, hosts, etc. • Multiple Grid technologies support • Globus, LSF, SGE, LoadLeveler*, PBS*, even OS! • Authentication delegation (GSI,NIS,NT,Krb5, ...) • Data management, UL/DL + remote file browsing • Flexible integration of batch & interactive apps • Grid Intelligence • End-user oriented focus! • Commercial application integrations

  8. Why EnginFrame? • Common problems: • Grid solutions acceptance and usability • Policy enforcement • Methodologies, Data management • Collaboration with customers or partners • ROI/ROA measurement • Pressure from Enterprise-wide projects • Cut development => deployment time • No expertise for Technical Computing problems among “traditional” web players

  9. EnginFrame user experience • User logs in and provides its credentials • Browse through service offerings • Fills the required data form and (if needed) specify his/her input files • Submits his request for the job

  10. Industrial Grid Portals

  11. Case study: ROA in IT • Scenario: • Automotive companies try to fill the gap with competitors • CAE becomes strategic investment • Problem: • expensive IT resources (HW, SW, storage) • low ROA, unpredictable ROI • complexity for managers • complexity for users

  12. Solution: EnginFrame

  13. Grid Business Intelligence

  14. EnginFrame benefits • IT assets and project methodology consolidation • Enhanced collaboration with remote sites and partners • Intellectual Property protection • Automatic and transparent enforcement of company policies • Wealth of properly focused information for management • Ease deployment of new software and methodologies • Rapid migration to the Computing Portal paradigm from a typical engineering environment • Enhance resource Manageability for System and Application managers • Enable smooth NT-UNIX-appliance integration • Complexity reduction for Grid environments

  15. Case study: Consolidation Company in the Defense sector • Different companies have merged into one • Sites and customers spread over WAN • Projects need common coordination and collaboration • No common design methodology • Duplicated licenses across different sites • Insufficient local resources • Limited communication

  16. Solution: EnginFrame Centralized eDesign Services

  17. EnginFrame benefits • IT assets and project methodology consolidation • Enhanced collaboration with remote sites and partners • Intellectual Property protection • Automatic and transparent enforcement of company policies • Wealth of properly focused information for management • Ease deployment of new software and methodologies • Rapid migration to the Computing Portal paradigm from a typical engineering environment • Enhance resource Manageability for System and Application managers • Enable smooth NT-UNIX-appliance integration • Complexity reduction for Grid environments

  18. Chipset IP + + FirmWare Case Study: Intellectual Property • Scenario: • Accent is designing a chipset for Siemens • Siemens needs to test the firmware & software for this chipset • Problem: • Intellectual Property cannot be disclosed

  19. Solution: EnginFrame Project-specific services/portals

  20. EnginFrame benefits • IT assets and project methodology consolidation • Enhanced collaboration with remote sites and partners • Intellectual Property protection • Automatic and transparent enforcement of company policies • Wealth of properly focused information for management • Ease deployment of new software and methodologies • Rapid migration to the Computing Portal paradigm from a typical engineering environment • Enhance resource Manageability for System and Application managers • Enable smooth NT-UNIX-appliance integration • Complexity reduction for Grid environments

  21. Case Study: Data Exchange Collaboration problem in the supply chain • Many suppliers with different supported 3D models • Complex operations to convert files • Management not comfortable with uncontrolled data exchange • User friendliness

  22. Solution: EnginFrame DataGate

  23. EnginFrame benefits • IT assets and project methodology consolidation • Enhanced collaboration with remote sites and partners • Intellectual Property protection • Automatic and transparent enforcement of company policies • Wealth of properly focused information for management • Ease deployment of new software and methodologies • Rapid migration to the Computing Portal paradigm from a typical engineering environment • Enhance resource Manageability for System and Application managers • Enable smooth NT-UNIX-appliance integration • Complexity reduction for Grid environments
