MSC.Software has developed its own cluster-specific Linux distribution, called MSC.Linux, that's intended to run in a cluster of HP-based Intel servers or workstations. According to MSC, MSC.Linux has been developed with HP hardware in mind, and the code has been optimized to run on multiple HP boxes in a distributed parallel cluster environment. Included in MSC.Linux is a tool called "Webmin", a Web-based management program that can be used to set up and install MSC.Linux clusters on HP hardware. MSC says the software can help simplify set-up tasks such as RAID (redundant array of independent disks) disk drive partitioning and file system selection. The software also can help administrators with management tasks, such as monitoring the health of a distributed computing system and taking nodes on and off line in the cluster. MSC.Software and HP are targeting their cluster offerings at heavy-duty, number-crunching applications in the areas of aerospace, chemical engineering, geological research and mathematical modeling. The gas and oil exploration industry and government research labs that study weather patterns are among a growing number of large outfits using parallel Linux clustering to solve problems. _______________________________________________________________ To contact Phil Hochmuth: Phil Hochmuth is a Senior Writer for Network World, and a former systems integrator.
