JRTI to sell Bright Cluster Manager with high performance CPU and GPU clusters
SAN JOSE, Calif., and RICHMOND, Va., Oct. 28 -- Bright Computing, a leader in cluster management software and services for high-performance computing (HPC), and James River Technical, Inc (JRTI), specialists in accelerated and HPC solutions for the higher education and research, government and commercial market segments, have entered into a reseller agreement allowing JRTI to sell Bright Cluster Manager throughout North America. JRTI will offer Bright Cluster Manager on new and existing clusters, together with its installation, support and management services.
JRTI sells HPC solutions from Cray, Dell, NVIDIA and others, as well as their own custom hardware platforms. JRTI also provides a wide range of visualization solutions.
"Bright Cluster Manager offers our clients a uniquely simple and comprehensive cluster management tool, providing a faster, easier solution for their cluster management needs," said Jeff Fettig, vice president of sales and marketing for JRTI. "Whether laying over an existing collection of tightly integrated or highly disparate cluster nodes, or pursuing a leading edge heterogeneous Tesla based GPU cluster solution, Bright Cluster Manager takes the focus off building and managing clusters, and gets our clients' systems into productivity much more rapidly."
"JRTI delivers an impressive range of HPC platforms and visualization products," said Dr. Matthijs van Leeuwen, CEO of Bright Computing. "Bright Cluster Manager is a strong fit with their offerings and with their emphasis on providing an integrated, end-to-end solution that best meets the needs of their clients. Using Bright Cluster Manager, JRTI's customers benefit from easy-to-use and extremely efficient GPU cluster management, with a single daemon driving all of the functionality required to keep the clusters running smoothly. Their clients will get the most computing from their investment, with far less effort."
JRTI will feature Bright Cluster Manager in a free webinar on November 10th: "Eliminating Complexity in Managing GPU Clusters." For more information, click here.
