Univa Announces Support for Microsoft Azure 

CHICAGO, Ill., Dec. 3 -- Univa, a leading innovator in workload management and optimization solutions, announced today that it is now offering support for Microsoft Azure, enabling the creation by Univa customers of dynamic clusters on demand, in the cloud.

The Univa product suite features the Univa Grid Engine resource manager, a proven, powerful and integrated workload utilization solution for dynamically shared enterprise clusters, and the new Univa Grid Engine Container Edition product, which fully incorporates Docker containers into Univa Grid Engine.

Azure, Microsoft’s open and flexible cloud computing platform, is a growing collection of integrated services—analytics, computing, database, mobile, networking, storage and web. Working with existing IT, it delivers greater productivity and reduces costs.
