• Scalability:The application virtualization layer of Fura EE permits to extend beyond traditional virtualization by allowing the easy set up and expansion of a network of many computers as a single system in a completely transparent way to the users.
• Seamless deployment and management: Fura EE helps automate an efficient management by providing the fastest deployment and configuration toolset and the easiest administration interface in the market.
• Focus on providing an easy integration into the existing corporative processes: Many customers have easily integrated Fura EE into their business processes by themselves with our web service based, comprehensive and advanced Fura EE SDK for developers.
• Self-healing capabilities: Downtime can be extremely expensive in many corporations, not only due to maintenance costs, but to the effects it brings to critical business processes. The self-healing mechanisms of Fura EE provide the most advanced technology in automatic maintenance and full fault-tolerance, reliability, and resilience.

We believe that Fura EE is the only Grid technology in the market that meets all these corporate requirements. Furthermore, when comparing with other Grid solutions, our customers stress that:

• Fura EE is fault tolerant at all levels: resource, server, and application level. Application users and developers will not be aware of hardware and infrastructure failures, as automatic state management is provided by the redundant servers and API calls.
• The file system in Fura EE is unique and extremely versatile, extending the Grid Computing services into Data Grid services.
• Fura EE Advanced Distributed Execution is the fastest and simplest service for automating the distribution of tasks in a Grid. The majority of High Performance Computing and High Throughput Computing projects can be automatically parallelized with this service. Many data center processes can also benefit immediately with the comprehensive data distribution and computing capabilities of this service.
• The lightweight Fura EE Agents permit the optimized extension of the Grid to virtually any computer, with the flexibility to support both dedicated and non-dedicated resources, and most corporate operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris, HPUX). Optimization of the resources is guaranteed, while permitting scavenging models coexisting harmonically with dedicated models, depending on the QoS desired.
• The user interface of Fura EE is an extremely intuitive graphical interface to a Grid. The Grid administration is really simple thanks to the Fura EE Portal.
• Full SOA and standards compliance: Fura EE has been designed with an internal SOA, which fully complies with the Web Services standards. Web Services is the underlying infrastructure on which Grid Services are built. Due to the fast pace in which standards in this field are being developed, Fura EE is based on a modular architecture, in which the basic infrastructure, the Fura EE Grid Container, evolves by adapting to new standards.

Fura EE provides a comprehensive selection of Grid Services, carefully combined to cover our entire customer’s needs in Grid computing. Additionally, thanks to our modular architecture, custom development of new services is now faster and easier than ever.
