EnginFrame
NICE EnginFrame — web-based self-service HPC portal for cloud and on-prem clusters. Manage jobs, licenses and applications from one browser interface.
NICE EnginFrame is a production-proven, web-based HPC portal for accessing technical and scientific applications across cloud and on-prem clusters. Regardless of underlying cluster complexity, EnginFrame lets HPC users get work done faster — they reach clusters, data, licenses and batch/interactive applications through a secure, intuitive, service-oriented interface from a standard web browser.
NICE has over 20 years of experience in HPC and remote visualization. EnginFrame brings advanced data management and flexible deployment, turning a traditional HPC infrastructure into a self-service, private, hybrid or public HPC cloud.
How It Works
EnginFrame is easily placed in front of one or more HPC clusters. A predefined application template set makes users productive immediately; new applications and complex workflows can be added without web or programming knowledge. Working with mainstream job schedulers, EnginFrame translates user clicks into job submission, monitoring and input/output data management.

Capabilities
Self-Service HPC Portal
A lightweight, intuitive, application-oriented portal for HPC systems. Configurable and scalable from small clusters to large enterprise systems.
- Role- and context-based access control
- Web services, REST API and CLI interfaces
- Built-in interactive session management for Windows and Linux
- Live dashboards for cluster, queue, core and license utilization
Job Scheduler Integration
Native integration with the major HPC schedulers:
- Slurm
- Altair PBS Pro & TORQUE
- IBM Spectrum LSF & Openlava
- Univa Grid Engine
- Adaptive Computing Moab
A single EnginFrame deployment can serve multiple clusters and mixed schedulers at the same time.
Interactive Sessions & Remote Visualization
Built-in interactive session management for Windows and Linux, plus Citrix XenDesktop integration and NICE DCV for remote desktop and OpenGL/CUDA-accelerated visualization.
Engineers run heavy 3D CAE/CAD workloads on the server and use them from a browser — no large file transfers required.
Data & License Management
First-class input/output data handling: users upload and download files via drag-and-drop and inspect results directly in the browser.
- Workload, resource and license monitoring
- Submission policies driven by license pools
- Automated file cleanup & archival rules
Cloud & Hybrid Deployment
Turn a traditional HPC infrastructure into a self-service, private, hybrid or public-cloud solution.
- Automated deployment on AWS (CloudFormation templates)
- AWS ParallelCluster integration
- Hybrid queue management: on-prem + cloud burst
- Supports Azure and private clouds
Use Cases
CAE/CFD simulation, automotive & aerospace engineering, life sciences, financial simulation, academic research clusters, enterprise R&D portfolios.
