Multi-Cluster Management
Centralized management of multiple HPC clusters. SLURM federation, coscheduling and workload balancing solutions.
As your enterprise HPC infrastructures grow, managing multiple clusters centrally and efficiently becomes a critical operational need. Mevasis provides end-to-end multi-cluster management services — from SLURM Federation setup and coscheduling policy design through centralized monitoring infrastructure to phased deployment planning.
Federation also offers users a single entry point to geographically separated data centers, simplifying training, support and accounting. Balancing policies then route each job to the cheapest or fastest available hardware without user intervention.
Key Features
SLURM Federation Setup
We consolidate multiple clusters under a common slurmdbd, so jobs can be submitted and queried from a single point. Users see one unified view of all clusters regardless of their location or hardware. This dramatically simplifies administration and user experience.
Workload Balancing Policies
We design priority-based, capacity-threshold and data-locality-aware balancing policies aligned with your business processes. Jobs are routed automatically to the most appropriate cluster based on current load and urgency. This maximizes the utilization of your entire compute estate.
Centralized Monitoring and Alerting
We enable real-time monitoring of all cluster metrics in a single dashboard via Prometheus and Grafana integration. Queue depth, utilization, storage and network health are visible across every site. Alerting centralizes notifications so issues are caught quickly.
High Availability and Data Locality
During failures or maintenance, critical jobs are automatically redirected to a backup cluster. Data locality rules are enforced at the policy level so jobs stay near their data whenever possible. This delivers resilience without sacrificing performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Multi-cluster management is ideal if you have more than one HPC cluster or want to manage infrastructures with different hardware architectures (CPU, GPU, FPGA) under a single umbrella. It should also be chosen when you want to balance workloads between clusters during busy periods, prioritize critical jobs, or centrally monitor geographically distributed data centers from a single panel.
Mevasis provides end-to-end service starting from SLURM Federation setup and configuration, through coscheduling policy design, implementation of workload balancing algorithms and installation of centralized monitoring infrastructure. Our experienced HPC engineers analyze your existing infrastructure, prepare a seamless migration plan and continue to provide support after deployment.
Multi-cluster management solution pricing varies by number of clusters, total node count, software components used and support scope. To receive a quote tailored to your infrastructure, you can fill in the request form or contact us directly.
