Axceleon Offers Grid Resource Management Solution for Windows and Linux Compute Clusters with HP; Axceleon's EnFuzion Resource Management Solution Available for HP Volume Cluster Series.SUNNYVALE, Calif. -- Axceleon, a leader in computational Having to do with calculations. Something that is "highly computational" requires a large number of calculations. grid software, today announced the immediate availability of its EnFuzion(R) resource management software for HP Volume Cluster Series compute To perform mathematical operations or general computer processing. For an explanation of "The 3 C's," or how the computer processes data, see computer. clusters. Axceleon and HP have signed a software licensing agreement to offer EnFuzion with HP compute clusters, available from HP directly as well as from HP's partner sales channels. As industry standard compute farms and clusters are becoming more available and affordable, the lack of applications and the difficulty of cluster management have become a problem. Using EnFuzion as the basic resource manager, a wide range of applications can take advantage of these scalable compute configurations. EnFuzion automates and accelerates parametric See parametric modeling, parametric symbol and PTC. studies, where the same application is executed many times with multiple sets of input parameters. Parametric studies require vast amounts of compute power. They are also labor intensive Labor Intensive A process or industry that requires large amounts of human effort to produce goods. Notes: A good example is the hospitality industry (hotels, restaurants, etc), they are considered to be very people-oriented.

With EnFuzion, users are able to do more by defining jobs through a range of parameter settings and data values. Using combined compute power of the HP Volume Cluster Series cluster greatly reduces the time to obtain results and eliminates human errors. Commercial and home grown applications can utilize compute clusters in a short time without any need to change the applications. The user simply submits the jobs to EnFuzion's resource manager and comes back for results, while EnFuzion takes care of execution details in between. EnFuzion supports both Windows and Linux based compute clusters from HP. Different operating systems Operating systems can be categorized by technology, ownership, licensing, working state, usage, and by many other characteristics. In practice, many of these groupings may overlap. can be seamlessly mixed in the same configuration, providing additional application performance and flexibility. EnFuzion is easy to deploy and operate with simple command line installation and deployment steps. Optimized for cluster operation by providing self-configuring and self-managing features, it radically reduces the cost to setup and administer a cluster. The industry-standard HP Volume Cluster Series clusters with EnFuzion can be easily integrated in the IT infrastructure without network or administrative disruption. "EnFuzion resource management software, combined with HP Volume Cluster Series compute clusters, provides a solution that is easy to deploy and provides benefits in a short time," said Rok Sosic, Chief Technology Officer at Axceleon. "Almost any compute intensive application can derive great benefit from running parametric studies on compute clusters. EnFuzion's ease of use and simplicity, combined with HP's portfolio of packaged, supported clusters, provides an ideal platform for any entry level or experienced cluster user." "Axceleon has been a leader in combining distributed computing (1) The use of multiple computers networked throughout a wide geographical area, or the world via the Internet, in order to solve a single problem. See grid computing. (2) The use of multiple computers in an enterprise rather than one centralized system. and parametric analysis, enabling exponential 1.

The combination of EnFuzion and HP's high performance clusters offers customers a powerful and cost effective solution, with unmatched flexibility, with support for both Windows and Linux, and a range of servers and interconnects," said Bruce Toal, director of marketing, HP High Performance Computing computing - computer Division. About Axceleon: Axceleon is revolutionizing the high-performance grid computing grid computing, the concurrent application of the processing and data storage resources of many computers in a network to a single problem. It also can be used for load balancing as well as high availability by employing multiple computers—typically personal market with its EnFuzion(R) software. EnFuzion gives organizations the ability to automate To turn a set of manual steps into an operation that goes by itself. See automation. applications and gain faster computing results with their heterogeneous hardware and software computing environments. Whether deployed on compute clusters or idle desktops across an enterprise, EnFuzion reduces application execution time and delivers a tangible Return-on-Investment (ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). ).
