hp and Scali

cluster management and MPI connection

powerful Linux cluster solutions
Scali is a leader in developing advanced cluster management and high-end message passing interface (MPI) software, which is interoperable on the leading network interconnects in the industry. Organizations are able to leverage high performance and reliable parallel processing platforms while substantially reducing their technology investment and improving their price performance ratios. Scali offers a total solution, which includes Scali Manage, Scali MPI Connect, professional services and ongoing support and maintenance. Scali Manage and Scali MPI Connect provide customers with the unique functionality to run and manage multiple and mixed interconnect environments, including Gigabit Ethernet, TCP/IP, Myrinet, InfinibandTM and SCI, with the option for lean protocols and/or protocol bypassing.

Scali ManageTM
Scali Manage provides comprehensive tools for system installation, configuration, management and monitoring in addition to support for the leading cluster interconnects and platforms. The total solution is a proven computing environment that reduces cost, increases efficiency and improves the price performance ratios associated with running high performance clusters.

HP and Scali work together to test, certify and support Scali cluster solutions on HP ProLiant servers, the best-selling industrystandard servers for Linux.

Scali solutions on hp ProLiant servers
Scali and HP have partnered to deliver Scali ManageTM and Scali MPI ConnectTM -- advanced Linux cluster solutions that improve the performance of compute and communication intensive applications in technical and scientific computing marketplaces. Our companies work together to test, certify and support Scali cluster solutions on HP ProLiant servers, the best-selling industrystandard servers for Linux.

customer profile
Among the marketplaces that benefit from our solution: · automotive industry performing simulated crash tests · design and analysis using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) · oil exploitation industry processing seismic data · weather and environmental forecasting · satellite image processing · bio informatic processing

rapid time-to-solution
Scali Manage provides a rapid, flexible and easy-to -use system for installing and configuring the operating system, middleware, communication modules, third party applications and user data.


centralized management
The application functions as a centralized point of installation and ongoing management regardless of the number of clusters, applications, interconnects and hardware platforms.

interconnect

manage and scale them more easily and cost-effectively, with less staff. And ProLiant servers offer easy serviceability so repair, reconfiguring and redeployment consume fewer resources.

Interconnect interoperability
Scali leverages the Direct Access Transport (DAT) interface to run Scali MPI Connect on the leading interconnect platforms and standards in the industry. Interconnect interoperability enables Scali MPI Connect to dynamically select the transport medium at runtime.

Scali MPI Connect
autonomous interconnect compatibility
Companies are able to leverage a single management system for their diverse network of enterprise clusters.

maximum efficiency and reliability
System administration tasks can be performed simultaneously, reducing manual errors and the time required for maintenance. Reliability is increased through robust functionality, such as resource management, monitoring, alarms, and remote out-of-band operations.

Scali MPI Connect is a fullyintegrated message passing interface (MPI) solution that enables companies to take advantage of diverse highperformance interconnects and utilize demanding application software capabilities.

reliability, fault tolerance and failover
Scali MPI Connect is designed for extensive reliability, availability and serviceability. The MPI operates transparently to transient network errors, interconnect resets or change of routing tables. It also supports failover between interfaces by automatically switching to an alternate network if available.

Scali MPI Connect highlights:
· high bandwidth, low latency performance · ease of installation and management · interconnect interoperability · high reliability and system scalability

Scali Manage has both a graphical user interface (GUI) and command line interface that is consistent regardless of the type of interconnect or cluster.

MPI performance
Scali has consistently demonstrated outstanding performance with low message latency for Linux clusters. Highly optimized algorithms for message passing through a direct data transport mechanism eliminates overhead and reduces latency. The MPI is thread-safe and -hot, enabling any mixture of message passing and shared memory programming.
