RONIN is an incredibly simplistic web application that allows researchers and scientists to launch complex compute resources within minutes, without the nerding. RONIN comes pre-baked with enterprise-ready reporting, collaboration, business intelligence and management information capabilities. Business sponsors? Happy. CFOs? Happier. Security? If t... hey could smile, they would. Technical hurdles. Assumed knowledge. These are the stresses faced by your researchers. RONIN removes the stress and enables access to vast amounts of compute and storage in seconds, not months. No IT degree required. No helpdesk calls. No more late nights reading about ports and mounts. Waiting for cardboard boxes with cables and RAM in them? Waiting for Gareth to install them on his rack that only he can access? RONIN gives you access to over 60 different machine configurations, available in as little as 60 seconds. No more Gareths. See how RONIN is impacting the world of Genomics. Not only do our researchers and scientists have the responsibility of expanding humanitys understanding of the physical and natural world, they are often thrust into roles such as system administrator, network engineer and storage manager in order to enter the world of cloud computing and e-research. RONIN converts complexity into commodity. Sharing is not as much fun as it seems. Why wait for wall-time when you can create your own auto-scaling cluster and shut it down when you are done? RONIN offers all of the popular schedulers and operating systems. We take care of key management, networking, storage mounts and even offer spot market bids for your compute nodes.
