PolyServe Inc. has earned membership in the Red Hat Advanced Software Partner Program. Membership in the program ensures customers that PolyServe's shared data clustering software solutions for Linux have been tested for and are certified with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, are supported under the Technical Support Alliance Network (TSANet) cooperative support forum, and are compliant with Red Hat's guidelines for interoperability.
A strategic partnership with Red Hat, the Advanced Software Partner Program is only available by invitation and to market leaders in their respective categories. Enterprise customers seeking clustering software will now be able to locate PolyServe's File Serving Utility and Database Utility products for Linux in the Red Hat Software Catalog as jointly compatible, supported and developed solutions.
"We're pleased that Red Hat has recognized PolyServe for the reliability and quality that our Linux-based customers have enjoyed for years," said Clark Newby, VP of marketing, PolyServe. "Whether enterprises are using PolyServe shared data clustering software when migrating databases from Unix to Linux or deploying high-performance, scalable NAS clusters, they can count on the reliability of a software stack with Red Hat and PolyServe."
PolyServe's first product based on Red Hat Linux was released in 1999, and the company's Oct. 30 launch of the PolyServe File Serving Utility for Linux, Version 3.5, offers customers the operating system options of 64-bit Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.3 and 4.4. This clustered storage solution takes advantage of Linux as an ideal platform for high-performance and highly scalable computing in industries that require it most: online rich-media serving, broadcast and entertainment, financial services and oil & gas seismic processing.
"Red Hat's partnerships with top independent software vendors such as PolyServe offer customers many quality choices for building architectures based on open source," said Tim Yeaton, senior vice president of Enterprise Solutions, Red Hat. "PolyServe is a trusted and seasoned developer for the Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform, and we're excited to certify their clustering software in the data center."
In quieter times, sounding the bell of funding big science with big systems tends to resonate further than when ears are already burning with sour economic and national security news. For exascale's future, however, the time could be ripe to instill some sense of urgency....

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).

The study of climate change is one of those scientific problems where it is almost essential to model the entire Earth to attain accurate results and make worthwhile predictions. In an attempt to make climate science more accessible to smaller research facilities, NASA introduced what they call ‘Climate in a Box,’ a system they note acts as a desktop supercomputer.
