A chapter in Sustained Simulation Performance 2015, 2015, pp 41-50 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract With the advent of High Performance Computing to a valuable tool for business, the hurdles of still complex and difficult access to this technology and its use need to be addressed to ensure major uptake, especially by Small and Medium Enterprises. Thus, several national and international activities have the mission to improve access to and simplification of the use of those technologies. One of these activities is the FORTISSIMO project, an EC funded project which is currently developing an HPC-Cloud marketplace for SMEs. This marketplace consists of a variety of services provided, some being rather traditional, but some also using Cloud paradigms and technologies to leverage HPC for SMEs. This book chapter will give an overview of the activities within the frame of FORTISSIMO and present selected highlights, such as the concept of business containers to embed services offered by third parties in the marketplace and the provisioning of Simulation-as-a-Service (SimaaS).
