PreEmption Management addresses the challenge of priority-based preemption in mission-critical production environments by combining innovative technologies from Platform Computing and Librato. This solution will benefit any organization using Platform LSF that is looking to save capital and operating expenses in the data center.

PreEmption Management frees up memory and valuable application licenses from suspended jobs cleanly and reliably, allowing preemptive scheduling and resource sharing for priority workloads. Organizations can now implement job preemption for mission-critical workloads and optimize resource utilization. This solution leverages the powerful capabilities of Platform LSF, Platform LSF License Scheduler and Librato SmartSuspend.

How you can benefit from PreEmption Management:

• Deliver high priority jobs while maintaining maximum resource utilization and SLAs
• Increase job throughput by leveraging idle cycles of critical resources
• Accelerate time to market
• Guarantee project completion times by allocating resources according to business priority
• Reduce capital investment and data center operating expenses
