ownCloud Inc., is the commercial entity behind the popular open source file sync and share project*. Novaglobal is proud to have the honor of being the first partner to be appointed by ownCloud for ASEAN.

• “With more than 500,000 users world-wide, ownCloud offers the ease-of-use of Dropbox with more flexibility and security allowing users to run their own file sync and share services on their own hardware and storage, use popular public hosting and storage offerings, or both. ownCloud seamlessly integrates into a school’s existing security and rights-management protocols, allowing IT managers to set security parameters while giving end users an easy-to-use tool.”

One of the pioneer HPC Cloud Services for the region went live for a local university in Singapore. The system boasts of more than 200 servers. The technology is driven by Adaptive Computing Inc. and Novaglobal is proud to be the system integrator for the project.

The HPC Cloud delivers the following capabilities:
• User Self-service Portal
• On-demand physical machine provisioning
• On-demand HPC Cluster provisioning
• On-demand multi-OS provisioning
• Pay-for-use chargeback

The university can now provide and deliver HPC resources to community partners and researches without their own HPC systems more effectively. The on-demand HPC resource provisioning enables:

• Better use of researcher’s time by focusing more on research work then the routine operational chores
• More competition and agility with the on-demand and dynamic scaling of resources
• More application and software that can be made available to research community with software and cost-sharing
• Better power and cooling management
