CMBI recalculates protein structures using VMware-based HPC cloud
2 PagesVMWARE CASE STUDY CHALLENGE Proteins are extremely complicated molecules. For the recalculation of protein structures the CMBI primarily needs ample computing power that can be scaled up indefinitely without the need for scheduling. Another CMBI requirement is that computational power is simple, flexible and quickly available. SOLUTION The type of CMBI project is very well suited to a High Performance Computing cloud platform. The cloud platform is aimed at maximum performance and maximum reliability. VMware vCloud Director enables ´horizontal ´ as well as ´vertical ´ scaling. RESULTS With the High Performance Computing cloud platform the CMBI has the flexibility to get started quickly calculating protein structures and scaling up indefinitely. Additional comput
