Virtualize clusters into one, uncluttered system
The alternative to complex cluster-management solutions

Clusters deliver high performance at much lower CAPEX, but complex installation and management and cluster OPEX costs make customers think twice before implementation.

vSMP Foundation for Cluster Management

vSMP Foundation for Cluster runs a single OS across the entire system. Using the Versatile SMP™ (vSMP) architecture, this ground-breaking solution aggregates up to 128 servers into a single, virtual x86 machine, simplifying day-to-day administration and eliminating the need for cluster-management skillsets.
 

Features

  • Single OS instance for up to 128 nodes: Enables up to 16,384 CPUs in a single shared-memory system.
  • Built-in, high-performance storage: Delivers linear, non-blocking scratch performance.
  • Aggregated memory footprint delivers top performance for pre- and post-processing.
  • Unparalleled RAS characteristics:
    • Seamless InfiniBand fail-over;
    • Optional "partitioning" to create completely isolated OS instances;
    • Fault isolation and automatic system recovery.

Benefits

  • Simple management:
    • Single OS instance across an entire cluster;
    • No need for job schedulers, resource manager or cluster file-system.
  • Scalable storage with seamless integration: Eliminates dedicated, costly cluster storage.
  • Fast installation: Unboxing to production within 3 hours.
  • Record-breaking performance: Provides InfiniBand performance with zero management and application portability costs.

vSMP Foundation for Cluster is delivered on an easy-to-install USB memory stick or on Compact Flash devices.
