 Mumbai:
Hewlett Packard is partnering with Linux NetworX to
expand each company’s Linux cluster supercomputing
solution offering.
HP
will offer Linux NetworX ClusterWorX software as a cluster
supercomputing management tool. On its part, Linux NetworX
will offer HP Itanium 2-based systems running Linux to
customers who want 64-bit capability.
Linux
clustering is a method of linking multiple computers together
to form a unified and very powerful computing system.
Linux NetworX designs clustering solutions for use in
HPC and high-availability applications. HP and Linux NetworX
have both designed and built multiple TeraFLOP Linux clusters,
systems that are capable of performing trillions of calculations
per second.
A
Linux NetworX press release said the company will continue
to offer its turnkey Evolocity Linux cluster solutions.
The
agreement strengthens the cluster offerings for both organisations.
HP is the hardware vendor with the most systems on the
Top 500 supercomputer list, while Linux NetworX and HP
have both designed and built clusters that rank among
the 10 fastest supercomputers in the world.
