Subject: [Sisuite-devel] Compute Cluster Linux Distro
Hi,
I'm a research assistant/programmer/system admin at
Alexander Technology, an
Australian tech startup with a close association
with the Australian National
University (ANU). Alexander Technology
specialise in low-end High Performance
Computing (HPC) solutions, that is for
budgets generally less than $100k.
In this market, the barriers to entry are
relatively high. 90% of people who
need such systems do not have the know-how
to build and configure them; the
overhead of selling small clusters with an
IBM/HP/DELL business model is such
that they simply reject such
requests.
Our mission is to help all the scientist who could benefit to do
so.
One part of this mission is to develop a linux distro that targets this
area.
It would provide nice interfaces to configure, deploy and manage
small
clusters.
System Installer is likely to be a core component of this
project.
We are interested in collaborating with the SI-Suite
projects.
Best regards,
David Michael
