Univa UD, a leading provider of software solutions for enabling cloud
computing environments, announced today the native OpenSolaris
version of UniCluster, its leading HPC management product.
“Integration with the OpenSolaris Operating System (OS) will bring UniCluster
capabilities to a vast new audience of users,” says Gary
Tyreman, senior vice president of products and alliances at Univa
UD. “Univa is committed to providing the support needed across key end
user software and systems such as the OpenSolaris OS to ensure technical
computing customers have the capabilities they need.”
UniCluster on the OpenSolaris OS provides a complete, fully integrated
HPC cluster management stack for OpenSolaris. The product is
functionally equivalent to the Linux version, increasing the
attractiveness of the OpenSolaris OS among technical computing users.
The product offers cluster installation directly from OpenSolaris
repositories with configurable software profiles for cluster nodes.
Installation and configuration is automatic, driven by Kits that are
easy to use and streamline the process of implementation.
UniCluster for the OpenSolaris OS also offers broad scalability up to
5,000 compute nodes, further increasing applicability for large
enterprise users.
“We are pleased to see the level of commitment that Univa is showing to
the OpenSolaris software and its users,” says Fritz Ferstl, Director Sun
Grid Engine, Sun
Microsystems. “Sun is working closely with Univa to ensure the
success of the integrations and are fully supportive of this effort,
which will bring an expanded level of HPC systems management
functionality – and eventually cloud capabilities – to the OpenSolaris
community.”
UniCluster is Univa’s leading HPC systems management software product
that provides a superior alternative to commercial cluster schedulers by
integrating a range of technologies into a single, unified stack.
Available for download at www.Grid.org,
UniCluster includes expanded systems management functionality that
automates repetitive and homegrown administrative tasks, significantly
reducing time to value and TCO for cluster owners.
