HPC with Hybrid Clouds for Critical Big Compute workloads
Denis CAROMEL, CEO & Founder, ActiveEon

ActiveEon is part of the Teratec ecosystem from its very beginning. With its unique Scheduling, Meta-Scheduling and Orchestration technology coming from the HPC R&D world, ActiveEon is the partner of major companies willing to take advantage of HPC and Hybrid-Clouds for their critical Big Compute workloads.

This presentation showcases major benchmarks achieved on 20 000 cores on the Azure Cloud, as well as well as customers cases such as CNES, CEA, INRA, KOMATSU/JoyGobal in IOT, and Legal & General in finance. In some cases, ActiveEon was able to speedup the performances by a factor of 9!

ActiveEon is an Open Source ISV offering automation and scalability solutions for IT, Big Data and Internet of Things (IoT) with job distribution and parallelization allowing acceleration of business processes and reduction of infrastructure costs.

ActiveEon works with French and international clients: L'Oréal, SeaEngineering (USA), JoyGlobal (USA), Home Office (UK), Legal & General (UK), CEA, Amadeus, INRA, Mediametrie, TAGSYS, La Française Asset Management, CNES and many more. ActiveEon offers ProActive Workflows & Scheduling, a complete workload scheduler that distributes applications to simplify their execution, also featuring a workflow orchestrator and a resource manager.

Biographie : Denis has been working for more than 20 years as a researcher in parallel, concurrent and distributed programming, cloud computing, workload automation, applications and infrastructure automation for INRIA and University of Nice Sophia Antipolis. He is holding a PhD degree in computer science in distributed and parallel computing and an MBA from HEC Business School. He has written numerous research papers and books, and directed PhD students. Denis acted as keynote speaker at several major conferences (MDM, DAPSYS, CGW, Shanghai CCGrid 2009, IEEE ICCP'09, ICPADS 2009 in Hong Kong, Devoxx in Paris, Open Stack Summit in Santa Clara), and as invited conference speaker on Clouds at Expo Universal in Shanghai. At Inria Denis was leading a team of 45 persons where ActiveEon initial Open Source technology was developed. Denis is an entrepreneur, and worked during 2 years in the United States in a startup company in California. He co-founded ActiveEon in 2007 together with his team as a spinoff of Inria in Sophia-Antipolis, creating synergies between the Inria 45-persons R&D team and the startup. Since 2011, he is ActiveEon CEO and currently manages an international company of 25 people located in France, UK, Africa, Bulgaria, and United States. Denis vision and strategy is to reinforce ActiveEon position as a major player of digital transformation and automation in the cloud. ActiveEon team works in agile mode, and Denis prefers his team to work in holacracy.
