Dynamic provisioning is delivered via the Platform ISF Adaptive Cluster.

With the multi-boot management included in Platform ISF Adaptive Cluster, cluster hosts can re-boot themselves from a different disk partition automatically in response to changing application workloads. Through the management console, administrators can choose to deploy a reasonable mix of Windows® and various Linux environments depending on the anticipated needs of their user communities. As users submit jobs or run applications that have particular operating system dependencies (expressed using the graphical Platform Application Center user interface or via the Platform LSF command line), the composition of the cluster can flex within configurable limits. Rather than being an extra-cost item as it is with other HPC management suites, this capability is included as a core feature of Platform HPC Workgroup Edition.
