Hello,
Although you might be familiar with the solutions that ScaleMP offers to the HPC community, I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you more about our new product offerings and share with you my view about the datacenter of the future. With the growing demand is to handle larger jobs in less time, with tighter customer budgets, as well as financial difficulties and uncertainty affecting some traditional SMP vendors, now is a great time to investigate how you could increase the flexibility of your datacenter in order to provide for varying workload demands. To assist with all of the above, we are now offering our products for both Intel Sandy-Bridge as well as AMD Opteron 6200 (Interlagos) processors – delivering the highest performing shared-memory systems on the market. In addition, we recently announced a migration plan for SGI customers worried by SGIs recent financial announcement and I strongly urge you to look at our on-demand SMP offering.
Just as you would not consider buying a film-based camera anymore, we have reached to the age where virtualization software, much like digital pictures for photography, forms the future of computing. ASIC-based SMP systems are similar to film-based cameras. Kodak, the market-leader of the film-based cameras has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Similarly, systems vendors that develop ASIC-based SMP solutions are (again) experiencing financial challenges, requiring you to look for alternative solutions.
ScaleMP has been delivering software that creates virtual shared-memory systems (SMP or NUMA) for a number of years. We refer to our products as Versatile SMP™ (vSMP). Our software is flexible in that it allows you to create a larger, more powerful SMP systems from low cost components. By combining the resources of lower cost servers into a larger, easier to manage larger server, cost savings can be realized without sacrificing performance.
In addition to our traditional shared-memory offering, we provide the HPC community with:
In summary, virtualization brings your HPC infrastructure performance, flexibility and cost savings. Whether you need a large-scale shared-memory system for your most demanding workloads in either a fixed or an on-demand-environment or whether you are looking to simplify your cluster infrastructure – virtualization has it all.

Univa is taking a survey of the motivation for Grid Engine’s use in technical computing. Non-company related results will be shared with those who participate.
For Grid Engine users specifically, the questionnaire should take about 5 minutes to complete. That’s about the same time as a cup of coffee, so for those who identify themselves properly we will send you a $5 e-Gift card for use at Starbucks, or you may select another option.
What is Reliability?
Very often in the tape storage market, the word “reliability” appears, yet it is difficult to find a comprehensive definition of reliability. In some cases, it means redundant hardware: in others, read‐ after‐write technology. While reliability is an important factor in tape library technology, if a company regards reliability across a limited spectrum, its reliability features will reflect the relative narrowness of this viewpoint. Spectra Logic assesses reliability from the moment data leaves the backup framework to 30 years after its creation, and so offers the widest range of reliability features available in both middle and enterprise markets. By breaking down the reliability process step by step, administrators can examine features that are important to all aspects of high reliability.
ESG survey respondents report selecting scale-out storage for: better scalability with easier management, improved performance, faster storage provisioning, and reduced infrastructure cost. ESG tested ActiveStor 12 and confirmed that the high performance parallel storage appliance provides simplicity in support of large-scale storage environments with demanding HPC performance requirements.

The Bio-IT World Conference kicks off in Boston next week with a series of sessions that herald the coming of Personal Genomics.
“There is extraordinary excitement and interest in the field of personal or consumer genomics at the moment,” commented Bio-IT World’s Kevin Davies. “We are in the first throes of a revolution in medicine and healthcare thanks to the collapsing costs of gene analysis and the dramatic success of late in mapping DNA variants that predispose to common disease.”
As the only major event that focuses on the integration of technology for research, drug discovery and clinical trials, Bio-IT World is more than just another tech conference. The IT challenges presented by Personal Genomics and other next-gen applications are staggering in terms of analysis, data processing, and storage. In this space, legacy IT architectures are simply unable to deliver predictable application performance as new instruments come online.
That’s where BlueArc comes in: our unique, hardware-accelerated storage architecture not only allows you to scale in terms of capacity, it adapts to changing data structure environments on the fly. We like to think of it as Intelligent Scale, the kind of leading-edge architecture that can help your enterprise succeed, not only now but in the future that promises rapid change like in no other industry.
Check us out. As a Platinum Sponsor of the Bio-IT World Conference in Boston, BlueArc will be showcasing our unique storage technologies at Booth #326 on April 12-14, 2011.
