HP announced new product enhancements and customer momentum for its Unified Cluster Portfolio for high performance computing (HPC).
Product updates include support for new HP servers and workstations powered by quad-Core Intel® Xeon® 5300 series processors, new server graphics and a groundbreaking parallel compositing library for the HP Scalable Visualization Array (HP SVA), and enhancements to HP XC System Software and the HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share (HP SFS).
The HP Unified Cluster Portfolio also now includes a certified original equipment manufacturer version of Microsoft Windows® Compute Cluster Server (CCS) 2003 and a new HP Cluster Management Utility option. Additionally available is HP Message Passing Interface on Windows CCS.
The enhancements are part of HP’s strategy to deliver industry-standard high-performance computing (HPC) solutions to customers. HP has led this market for the past three years; through the first half of 2006, HP held the No. 1 revenue share of 33 percent, according to research firm IDC.(1)
HP Cluster Platforms, HP XC, HP SFS and HP SVA are all key components of the HP Unified Cluster Portfolio, a comprehensive, modular package of hardware, software and services that helps customers better manage, store, access and visualize the large volumes of data created by highly complex science, engineering and analysis applications.
