RLX Technologies(TM), Inc., Houston, a leader in modular computing,
will provide fully integrated, built-to-order Linux cluster solutions
for high-performance compute environments. Each of these solutions come
equipped with RLX's award winning Control Tower XT and HPC Cluster
Manager solution providing customers with the most manageable and
easiest to deploy Linux cluster solutions. The Linux-based HPC Cluster
solutions are available in three configurations built on the RLX
RackModule Servers (1U), RLX's HPC ServerBlades, and the RLX HPC
ServerBlades with Infiniband. These new RLX HPC Cluster solutions
include on-site integration service that handles racking, cabling,
imaging, networking, and integrating the cluster with middleware like
LSF(TM), MPI Pro(TM), OpenPBS or BLAST -- creating an
"App-Ready" Linux cluster.
"With the new HPC Cluster solutions we now have the most
integrated and quickly deployable cluster on the market," said
Scott Farrand, vice president of Systems Engineering at RLX
Technologies. "By tightly integrating HPC Cluster Management and
Control Tower XT with our partners job scheduling and cluster software
we offer customers one stop shopping for a turnkey cluster."
All RLX HPC Cluster solutions include RLX servers, network
infrastructure, RLX Control Tower XT & RLX HPC Cluster Manager. The
RLX HPC Cluster management tools allow customers to easily configure,
provision, and monitor and manage the performance of an entire Linux
cluster in aggregate as well as the performance of individual nodes.
This approach provides the most complete, flexible, and easily managed
modular compute cluster solutions available in the industry today. RLX
HPC Cluster solutions are ideal for large clusters designed to process
sizeable amounts of data for Seismic, Research, and Design and
Automation applications.
"We purchased the RLX RackModule cluster to power our
on-demand supercomputer," said Edward Hawes, CEO of Virtual Compute
Corporation. "The decision was easy. RLX has the best server
management and cluster management software on the market; no one else
even comes close. RLX also delivered the cluster to my site ready to go,
allowing me to focus my resources on adding customers, not servers. To
make our business successful we have to be able to dynamically provision
and reprovision our clusters on the fly, and only RLX has this proven
capability today. We expect our pool of modular servers to grow from 500
to over 25,000 in the next few years. Only RLX delivers a product that
is ready to go on delivery, and all we have to do is power it up."
