SynfiniWay is platform-independent, allowing almost any distributed heterogeneous platform to be linked into its virtualised IT framework.

By using these abstracted services, a user can easily run applications or commands regardless of how complex they may be or what underlying IT infrastructure is required.

They provide a form of virtualisation of computing resources since the user need not be aware of where the service is available or how it is run.

SynfiniWay employs a meta-scheduling capability,[4] optimizing computational workloads by combining the multiple distributed Resource Managers an organisation is using, into a single aggregated view, allowing batch jobs to be directed to the best location for execution, using local resource managers such as LSF, PBSPro, SGE, LoadLeveler.

SynfiniWay is able to schedule and execute services which are deployed on a mixed interlinked set of local resource managers.
