Red Hat Unveils Integrated Linux-Based HPC Platform
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
Red Hat, a provider of open source solutions, has announced the
delivery of an integrated Linux-based High Performance Computing (HPC)
platform with the global availability of the Red Hat HPC Solution, an
all-in-one stack that customers can leverage to deploy, run and manage
their HPC clusters.
Historically, according to the company, building and managing HPC
clusters has provided cost and expertise challenges for IT departments
faced with lengthy deployment timelines and tedious integration work
requiring extensive training, planning and upkeep.
"With our HPC Solution, we're enabling our customers to focus on their
business goals and competitive advantage without needing to worry about
the challenges of deploying and managing their HPC cluster - we're
taking care of this for them," said Scott Crenshaw, vice president,
Platform Business Unit at Red Hat. "We're delivering the first
Linux-based solution that allows our customers to deploy a fully
integrated high-performance computing environment in minutes rather
than in weeks or months. No one else in the industry has yet been able
to deliver this type of compelling Linux solution for HPC clusters."
The Red Hat HPC Solution incorporates all of the components necessary
to deploy and maintain HPC clusters, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5.2, an open source operating system, and Platform Computing's cluster
software framework, Platform Open Cluster Stack 5. The solution also
includes device drivers, a simple cluster installer, cluster management
tools, a resource and application monitor, interconnect support and
Platform Lava, a job scheduler, the company said.
"With the Red Hat HPC Solution, organizations ranging from the
enterprise to SMB will be able to adopt open source solutions that are
fully supported, easy-to-use and cost-effective to implement," said
Tripp Purvis, vice president, Business Development, Platform Computing.
"Platform's 16 years of expertise delivering HPC management software,
combined with the performance and stability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5.2, are a perfect technology match while also addressing the growing
need in the market for powerful yet flexible HPC solutions."
"Dell is committed to simplifying High Performance Computing solutions
and sees benefit in the approach that Red Hat is taking with their HPC
Solution," said Judy Chavis, director of Business Development and
Product Management, Dell Inc. "By utilizing our existing relationship
with Platform Computing, commitment to simplify IT and established
practice of utilizing standard-based components in complex
environments; this solution helps strengthen our position in the HPC
market and fits well into our overall strategy."
