The Grid Portal for e-Design Solutions

EnginFrame realizes efficient Inter-/Intranet access to the available assets. Computing resources, data, licenses, … can be utilized and accessed by any client using any browser (e.g. Thin/Fat client, appliances, DPDA).

EnginFrame supports an open and evolutionary deployment to integrate the resources as they are needed and has proven its flexibility in content presentation and integration in corporate networks including adaption most various cIients in many cases. The user role or project can be used to create the appropriate views and show only those features and options the user really needs.

The easy use, setup and manageability of the EnginFrame technology lead to a fast and flexible implementation of the corporate Grid Portal to present a consistent, integrated and graphical view of applications, information and resources available in the Grid.

Users and administrators can control Gird applications as well as workload management, data management and reporting from within a single user interface, hiding the diversity and complexity of the native interfaces.

The integration of flowGuide

The software flowGuide (developed by s+c) allows the definiton of workflows and their immediate and easy usage. EnginFrame interprets the workflows and provides an graphical interface on the web-portal to control the workflows. The XML specifications of the workflows can be directly translated by EnginFrame to provide a very flexible portal solution.

EnginFrame has been developed by our business partner NICE.
