LISLE, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
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.
