I you want a simple yet powerful solution with a guaranteed upgrade
path, have a look at Qlustar. It has an excellent management interface,
tons of goodies, like fully integrated Lustre and BeeGFS e.g and comes
with regular security updates. It currently ships slurm 15.08.5.
With a reasonable Internet connection, you'll have a cluster headnode,
including a virtual demo cluster, setup in 30 min.
