Integrating HPC with Quest Software – Any Best Practices?

Hi All,

I’m exploring ways to leverage HPC high performance computing resources alongside Quest’s software suite (particularly Toad, Foglight, and KACE) for large-scale data analytics and automation. Has anyone successfully integrated HPC clusters with Quest tools for:

  • Database optimization (e.g., parallel query processing with Toad)?

  • Performance monitoring (Foglight tracking HPC node health/metrics)?

  • Automated provisioning (KACE managing HPC node deployments)?

Key questions:

  1. Are there any pre-built connectors or scripts to bridge Quest tools with HPC schedulers (Slurm, PBS)?

  2. GPU acceleration – Does Foglight or Toad support monitoring GPU workloads in HPC environments?

  3. Real-world use cases – Anyone using Quest + HPC for AI/ML pipelines or simulation workloads?

Would love to hear from teams who’ve tackled this—especially if you’ve hit roadblocks with permissions, scaling, or data transfer speeds.
