"PBS Works has become a key technology for organizations across industries worldwide looking to increase productivity and reduce costs," said Bill Nitzberg, Chief Technical Officer for PBS Works. "Altair has taken great care in designing the new PBS Works 2018 suite to create an environment that is both user-friendly and powerful for HPC users."
The PBS Works 2018 suite includes:

- Improved performance, scalability and security in PBS Professional, Altair's market-leading workload management and job scheduling solution.
- PBS Access, a new user portal that provides intuitive, seamless and enterprise-wide access to HPC resources to compute, manage and visualize HPC jobs.
- PBS Control, a new HPC infrastructure management solution for administrators that provides an overview view to configure, deploy, monitor and troubleshoot HPC platforms across on-premises and cloud HPC infrastructures. Also included in PBS Control is a powerful "what if" simulator that enables advanced capacity planning and seamlessly integrated cloud bursting capabilities.

"We are very pleased with the new unified user interface for the PBS Works Suite," says Ramesh Krishnan, HPC Services at Orbital ATK. "The ability to monitor system status and jobs while configuring queues and available resources in a single user interface, as well as analyze past applications, is a welcome enhancement."

"A big part of this release is the ability of PBS Works to meet even the most demanding workload requirements by leveraging PBS Control to seamlessly deploy HPC infrastructure in the cloud," said Sam Mahalingam, Chief Technical Officer for Enterprise Solutions at Altair. "For our customers making the move to the cloud, this solution enables them to manage internal computing infrastructures and easily transfer or switch their workloads to different cloud providers to control costs and throughput."
