Simplifying HPC on the AWS Cloud with Research Gateway

Summary: Research Gateway provides a self-service UI portal (featuring SaaS and enterprise models) for researchers to provision, run analysis, and manage the costs of complex HPC architecture on AWS. The solution allows users to create an HPC-powered MyResearch Cloud in less than 30 minutes from a standard catalog, with the ability to incorporate their own tools. Built on AWS ParallelCluster, Research Gateway includes intelligent cost tracking, blueprints for automated migration, and project-based data collaboration and allows researchers to focus on science and research grants without the need for AWS Console access. Central IT can easily extend the self-service models to a group of researchers with built-in governance controls and chargebacks billing.
