HP has announced new product and partner updates to its Unified Cluster Portfolio, including HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share 2.0 (HP SFS), a Linux cluster file server that triples performance and doubles capacity at a lower entry price. Enhancements to the XC System Software and HP Cluster Platform systems were also included.
The HP Unified Cluster Portfolio is an innovative, modular package of hardware, software and services for scalable computation, data management and visualization. It features flexible platforms, a wide range of open source and commercial middleware, and the latest in industry-standard technology-all with the simplicity and affordability of a factory-built, tested, and supported solution.
In addition, driven by the strength of its cluster technology and product portfolio, HP announced that it continues to lead the high performance computing (HPC) market in revenue with a 34% market share, according to first quarter 2005 figures released by IDC. This represents more than a five percentage point lead over IBM.
