PC, Linux & Mac WorkstationsParabons Frontier Grid Platform is a turn-key,
commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software solution that
unobtrusively harnesses dedicated and/or unused
computing capacity within your organization to:
Reduce current processing times- From decades to days, or months to minutes
Solve previously intractable problems- Launch data-heavyand compute-intensive jobs
- Manage distributed command & controlapps
- Host cloud computingweb services
Maximize ROI of existing enterprise assets- Use available resources more efficiently
- Avoid costly hardware expenditures!

Frontier Grid ServerThe Frontier Grid Server software
manages the execution of grid jobs
and instantiation of cloud services.
A single instance of the Frontier Grid Server can
manage a grid of up to 1,000 nodes, and Frontier
can be scaled across multiple servers to support
grids of 10,000 computers or more.
Frontier Compute Engines
80% - 95% of the capacity of most computers goesunused. The Frontier Compute Engine unobtrusively
harnesses that excess computing capacity.

Here we see the CPU utilization of a dual-core system
running Frontier in idle-only mode. After a period of
inactivity, the Compute Engine begins working.As soon as a higher priority eventsuch as user activity
is observed, the engine instantly cedes control.

Frontier Compute Engines
Frontiers unmatched security model allows it to be
deployed safely across the entire enterprise. The
Compute Engine can run within clouds, datacenters,
or on HPC clusters either natively or as a virtual
appliance with no operational impact.
Built-In Hypervisor
In addition, the Frontier Compute Engine includes
a built-in Hypervisor, allowing customized virtual
machines (VMs) to be deployed across the grid
and executed on commodity hardware.

Rich Reporting Capability
Frontier jobs can be monitored, peak and
current capacity can be measured, and grid
utilization can be managed, all through an
intuitive, easy-to-use HTML front-end.
The Frontier Dashboard provides a platform as a service
portal into which developers can deploy their grid-powered
web applications for users to run in their browsers. In addition,
the Dashboard allows users and grid administrators to manage
their Frontier accounts and configure their Frontier Compute
Engine and Frontier Enterprise Server settingsfrom any
standard web browser.

- Run grid jobs and deploy cloud services acrossyour entire enterprise or datacenter
Integrated VM ManagementUsers can programmatically launch grid jobs or
instantiate cloud services to auto-provisioned
VMs.
Service OrientationMore than grid middleware, Frontier comes with a
complete services stack that includes
Infrastructure, Platform, and Software as a Servicelayers.
Rock-Solid SecurityFrontier has layers of safeguards built-in for
protecting providers and users, making it the most
secure grid on the market.
Extreme ScalabilityFrontier is used to manage grids ranging fromsmall lab deployments to large networks
comprised of 10,000+ computers without
affecting normal operations.

inSquio Sequence Design Studio
The inSquio Sequence Design Studio, a
Frontier application, provides CAD tools for
specifying such nanostructure designs. It then
uses grid supercomputing capacity to searchthrough the vast space of possible DNA
sequence sets for the rare few able to self-
assemble into the target design. Typical
searches would take years to perform on a
single computer, but require minutes or hours
on the Frontier Grid Platform.
