IBM Clusters Linux to Manage Server Farms

by Dave Murphy
ISSN 1535-3613

IBM today announced an extension of its products to help manage large server farms from a single workstation.

Code-named Blue Hammer, IBM's eServer clusters are in the works for Unix and Linux. The clusters will enable users to manager up to 32 Intel-based eServer rack systems at a time from a single point of control.

The eServer systems include SP supercomputer's PSSP (Parallel System Support Programs) cluster management software and GPFS (General Parallel File System) software. With the software, system administrators can install operating systems and manage configurations from a single point. Sys Admins can keep files synchronized across servers as well as grant access to files across all nodes in the cluster.
