Overview
ISBC AI-HPC Managed AMI for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10
This is a repackaged open-source software product with additional charges for ISBC fully managed AI-HPC support. The AMI is designed to function as a head node, pre/post processing node, or compute node within enterprise AI and HPC clusters running on AWS.
Key Capabilities
- Web-Based HPC Management Console - Monitor and control your entire cluster from a single browser interface, eliminating the need for command-line-only administration and reducing operational overhead for cluster operators.
- Pre/Post Workload Session Management - Manage interactive visualization and data preparation sessions before and after batch jobs, enabling researchers to prepare inputs and analyze outputs without leaving the cluster environment.
- License Monitoring - Track commercial software license usage across your cluster in real time, preventing job failures due to license exhaustion and optimizing license spend.
- SLURM Job Scheduling - Pre-configured SLURM workload manager for multi-node job orchestration, queue management, and resource allocation across GPU and CPU instances.
- Docker Container Orchestration - Run containerized AI/ML frameworks and R&D applications with GPU passthrough support, simplifying software dependency management.
- GPU-Accelerated MLOps with JupyterNotebook - Integrated Jupyter environment with GPU access for interactive model development, training, and inference workflows.
- eVDI (3D) Remote Visualization - Deliver hardware-accelerated 3D visualization sessions to remote users for CAE, CFD, and molecular modeling workloads.
- BYOL Commercial Software Integration - Bring your own licenses for commercial R&D applications and integrate them with the open-source HPC stack without manual configuration.
Use Case Example
An engineering team running computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can deploy this AMI as a head node on a general-purpose instance and scale compute nodes on GPU-accelerated instances. Researchers use eVDI sessions for 3D post-processing visualization, while SLURM manages batch job queues across the cluster. License monitoring ensures commercial solver licenses are allocated efficiently across concurrent jobs.
Deployment Overview
This AMI can be launched on AWS EC2 instances. It is designed to operate within a VPC with appropriate security groups and placement groups configured for low-latency inter-node communication. The head node coordinates job scheduling while compute nodes execute workloads.
What Is Included
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.10 base operating system
- Pre-installed HPC management stack
- SLURM workload manager
- Docker runtime with GPU support
- JupyterNotebook with GPU acceleration
- eVDI session management
- License monitoring dashboard
- ISBC fully managed support
AWS Integration
The AMI is optimized for deployment on AWS EC2 instances including GPU-accelerated instance families. It supports integration with Amazon EBS for storage, Amazon VPC for network isolation, and placement groups for HPC-grade inter-node bandwidth.
About ISBC
ISBC provides end-to-end technical support, integration, migration, and maintenance services for enterprise AI and HPC environments. The managed support covers cluster setup, performance optimization, and ongoing operational assistance.
To schedule an HPC architecture consultation or request a pilot deployment, contact ISBC through the support channels listed below.
Highlights
- SLURM job scheduling, Docker container orchestration, GPU-accelerated MLOps with JupyterNotebook, and eVDI 3D remote visualization are pre-configured and ready to use. This eliminates days of manual setup and integration work typically required to build an HPC cluster from a base RHEL image, letting your team focus on research and production workloads from day one.
- Bring your own licenses for commercial R&D software (CAE, CFD, EDA, molecular modeling tools) and integrate them with the open-source HPC stack. ISBC manages the integration complexity, license monitoring, and compatibility testing so your engineering teams avoid configuration conflicts and license exhaustion during critical batch jobs.
- ISBC provides end-to-end managed support covering cluster deployment, SLURM configuration, GPU driver maintenance, performance optimization, and troubleshooting. Support spans the full lifecycle from initial architecture planning through migration and ongoing operations, so your team does not need in-house HPC administration expertise to run production workloads.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
