Product Information
Ensure projects are finished on time and business priorities are met, by accurately estimating project completion time, and by optimizing usage of compute hardware and application software licenses to meet project deadlines.
Platform Analytics, a key product of the Platform Manage suite,
provides tools for collecting, analyzing and visualizing information
for better project planning decisions. It offers a range of components
that deliver analytics support and actionable information for
project-planning decisions to engineering managers in your design
center.
Platform Analytics easily scales for large Platform LSF clusters and
multiple sites around the world.
How you can benefit from Platform Analytics:
- Optimize resource usage especially in large Platform LSF clusters of 500 or more CPUs by gaining insight into actual usage patterns and loads.
- Maximize license usage and distribution by understanding who uses them, when, for how long, and for what activities.
- Gain feedback on performance issues or productivity concerns
- Reprioritize and reallocate key resources to the highest priority projects
- Plan capacity for future deployments and expansions
- Consolidate reports across multiple geographic locations and time zones
- Accurately track resource usage to support charge-back
