Aneka Cloud Computing Platform
Aneka
Aneka is the first .NET-based enterprise cloud computing platform that supports multiple programming models.
With most corporates using Windows-based PCs as desktops, a .NET-based solution enables the enterprise to seamlessly integrate its desktops with enterprise grid/cloud systems. In addition, Aneka can run on Linux systems by executing on top of Mono. Aneka allows servers and desktop PCs to be linked together to form a very powerful computing infrastructure, a virtual supercomputer. This allows companies to become energy efficient and save money without investing in greater numbers of computers to run their complex applications.
Typical customer environments include:
- CAD
- 3D Rendering
- Drug Discovery
- Life Sciences
- Data Mining and
- Investment Risk Analysis.
