Platform Computing announced today at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) that it will enable HPC Technologies to become Intel Cluster Ready through Platform Open Cluster Stack (OCS)*. Intel Cluster Ready is a new program and technology designed to simplify the development, purchase, deployment, usage and management of clustered computer systems. Platform OCS is the first commercial software system used to create certified Intel Cluster Ready systems that enable the consistent delivery of scale-out application clusters. HPC Technologies, a Dell Japan reseller, will be bundling Platform LSF and Platform OCS with their cluster offerings.
HPC Technologies provides Dell high performance computing solutions to small businesses across diverse fields of research in the Japanese market. Many of HPC Technologies’ customers have small clusters and need a stable, easy-to-implement solution. Platform OCS and Intel Cluster Ready offer HPC Technologies the peace-of-mind that the hardware and software on their small clusters are certified and interoperable with third-party applications necessary for customers to conduct work and research.
“Platform OCS as part of Intel® Cluster Ready provides a great foundation for creating standards for software and hardware components making it easier to run HPC software applications,” said Norimichi Suzuki, President, HPC Technologies. “Platform OCS is the most reputable, stable solution for smaller businesses looking to implement the power of cluster solutions without taking time or resources away from their core business.”
Platform OCS democratizes and streamlines the process of implementing HPC solutions on Linux-based clusters. A pre-integrated, vendor certified software stack, Platform OCS enables a new class of HPC users by simplifying Linux cluster application, deployment and management. Backed by available, global 24x7 enterprise support, Platform OCS is a modular and hybrid stack that transparently integrates open source and commercial software into a single, consistent cluster operating environment.
“By implementing Platform OCS as part of their Intel® Cluster Ready certified systems, HPC Technologies’ customers will have the assurance that the hardware and software they need will operate smoothly and efficiently,” said Simon Lonsdale, Director of Strategic Alliances, Platform Computing. “Teaming with Platform enables the opportunity to offer easy-to-use, small-scale cluster solutions to businesses in Japan.”
