HPC Cluster Management, Made Easy(er)
Platform Computing: HPC users should focus on science, not computer science
Platform Computing's cluster, grid, and cloud management software has been extended with the launch of a new version of Platform HPC, a high performance computing (HPC) management product that the company says is aligned to help technical application users to harness the scalability of HPC clusters.
Based on its Platform LSF workload scheduler, the new product employs a web user interface to help manage the tasks associated with cluster provisioning, workload management, reporting, and monitoring.
According Platform Computing's vice president of business development Tripp Purvis, "This is more than just a stack of software; Platform HPC is a fully integrated, certified, and supported product designed to ensure ease of use and simplified management. With the release of Platform HPC, Platform is also further investing in its channel strategy, with a focus on the technical application market and the independent software vendors (ISVs) that serve it."
