Why Computation on Demand Services?

Fast, inexpensive, easy, secure: the advantages of Parabon Computation on Demand.

On-demand services are transforming the computing world. Salesforce.com provides on-demand business applications. Amazon's Web Services provide on-demand hosting for web applications. And now Parabon offers you HPC as an online utility: Computation on Demand®.

Our Frontier® Grid Platform eliminates traditional computing limitations. Execute your app online across the Parabon Computation Grid, accessing hundreds or thousands of computers for all the power you'll ever need, or use Frontier across your entire enterprise. Our solution is:

  • Fast. Built for extreme scalability, Frontier can employ a virtually unlimited number of computers. You get supercomputation without the supercomputer.
  • Inexpensive. Frontier harnesses the unused capacity of computers-desktops, servers, clusters, etc.—so the cost of computation is extremely low. It's a pay-per-use service, so you only pay for the capacity you need, when you need it.
  • Easy. Introduced in 2000 as the first commercially available grid computing solution, Frontier:
    • Gives you access and control through a simple, browser-based "dashboard."
    • Guarantees task execution by shielding applications from unreliable computing resources and networking.
    • Supports most common computing platforms and is easily adaptable to others.
    • Has powerful applications available today and many more in development, thanks to the Frontier Software Development Kit (SDK) and a rich suite of other Frontier development tools.
  • Secure. Built from the ground up with the most advanced mobile code security capabilities, Frontier has safeguards for both providers and users. It's the most secure grid computing platform on the market.
