Challenges

▪ How to share MATLAB algorithms with multiple internal and external

consumers

▪ Challenging and time consuming to re-code MATLAB algorithms for

integration into IT frameworks

▪ Difficult to migrate solutions to enterprise scale web or cloud frameworks

▪ How to deliver fast results with large volumes of data

Why MATLAB Production Server Matters to You

✓ No need to learn another programming

language

✓ Reliably service large numbers of concurrent

requests with low latency

✓ Platform independence (win, mac, linux)

✓ Web and cloud friendly architecture

✓ Client connections can be protected with SSL

encryption

✓ Automatically deploy updates without server

restart

MATLAB Distributed Computing Server Benefits

✓Transparently get access to more workers

on a cluster.

✓Get access to advanced parallel workflows

directly through their MATLAB desktop.

✓Platform independence (win, mac, linux)

✓Don’t need to build a framework for

submission and retrieval.

✓Can easily scale up with more

workers

✓Client connections can be protected

with SSL encryption
