Altair, (Nasdaq: ALTR) a global technology company providing
solutions in data analytics, product development, and
high-performance computing (HPC), today announced the acquisition
of Ellexus, a leading input/output (I/O) analysis tool, which helps
customers find and address issues quickly, improving speed accuracy
and cloud readiness.
The Ellexus software products, Mistral and Breeze, are used for
I/O diagnostics, optimization, and dependency detection by HPC
administrators of large enterprises. Altair plans to integrate them
into the storage aware scheduling functionality of Altair PBS
Works™.
“Altair continues to expand its reach and capabilities for HPC
environments to support important modern workloads including for
data analytics, AI and ADAS,” said James Scapa, Altair’s chief
executive officer and founder. “The acquisition of Ellexus is
particularly relevant in these domains as storage aware scheduling
for big data applications is critical.”
The recent acquisition of Univa positions Altair as the leading
scheduling and resource optimization solution provider for both
massively parallel and high-throughput, single-core jobs. Ellexus
nicely complements Altair’s scheduling technology by providing
per-job storage agnostic file and network I/O real-time monitoring
to identify I/O latencies and bottlenecks for faster job execution
times and better resource utilization.
Altair will also deepen its technical ranks with the addition of
Dr. Rosemary Francis, Ellexus founder and chief executive officer.
Francis earned a PhD in computer architecture from the University
of Cambridge and an undergraduate degree in math and computer
science. She is a regular guest lecturer at Cambridge University
and is a member of the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
“There is no better place for Ellexus’ products to get into the
hands of global customers who can immediately benefit,” said
Francis. “Altair’s growing leadership in HPC is exciting and
exactly where I want to be to help grow the business and stretch
technology to its limits.”
