ServerWatch: IBM Releases eServer Clusters for Unix, Linux

“IBM eServer clusters are designed for rack systems. The Linux
version enables clusters of up to 32 two-way IBM eServer x330
Intel-based machines, while the Unix version clusters up to 32 two-
to eight-way IBM M80 or one- to six-way IBM H80 servers running the
AIX operating system.”

“With IBM eServer clusters, both the midrange M80s and H80s can
be clustered with large-scale IBM eServer p680 or S80 servers. The
M80, H80, S80, and p680 can also be directly attached to the SP
supercomputer.”

“The Linux clusters are designed for e-businesses that deploy
numerous “rack-and-stack” servers on the fly, as well as
enterprises that need massive processing power to tackle complex
problems. These companies include, ISPs and ASPs with huge server
farms; financial services companies looking to consolidate
workloads and integrate services; and life sciences firms that need
massive computing power to analyze genetic data, design new drugs,
and solve difficult science problems.”
