Question 1

How does this work, and where does it sit in your stack?

Accepted Answer

Cedana is transparent and runs at the OS and kernel level, beneath your applications. That means it works transparently with Slurm and Kubernetes, so it runs with any of your workloads with no modifications.

Question 2

Will this disrupt our researchers?

Accepted Answer

No. Cedana is transparent. Same Slurm and Kubernetes commands, same notebooks. Jobs simply stop dying.

Question 3

Does it pass IT and security review?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cedana is SOC 2 Type II certified, ships on-premise, and supports fully air-gapped deployments, so it stays inside your existing security perimeter.

Question 4

How do we know the savings are real at our scale?

Accepted Answer

We run a utilization-and-maintenance audit on your own workload mix to produce a comparable number first.

Question 5

What about our Schrödinger and HPC stack?

Accepted Answer

Cedana integrates beneath ISV job managers and works with Slurm, Kubernetes, Kueue, Ray, Armada, and Nvidia Dynamo.

Question 6

What about cloud bursting?

Accepted Answer

Cedana supports portability between on-premise and cloud. The same checkpoint resumes on either.

Your science shouldn't restart from zero.
