Comet is SDSC’s newest supercomputer. The result of a $27M National Science Foundation (NSF) award, Comet deliverers over 2.7 petaFLOPS of computing power to scientists, engineers, and researchers all around the world. In fact, within its first 18 months of operation, Comet served over 10,000 unique users across a range of scientific disciplines, becoming one of the most widely used...
Over the last years, there has been a number of trends related to how devices are provisioned and managed within organizations, such as BYOD - "Bring Your Own Device" or COPE: "Company Owned, Personally Enabled". In response, a new category of products called "Enterprise Mobility Management Suites", which includes MDM - "Mobile Device Management" and MAM - "Mobile Application Management"...
