Grid.org Sails Past 5,000 Downloads
August 18, 2008: The open source cluster and grid software community, Grid.org, has announced that its open source cluster software stack, UniCluster has rolled past 5,000 downloads.
Launched in November 2007, Grid.org was developed to provide a single aggregation point for information and interaction by the community of grid and cluster users, developers and administrators.
The community is home to Univa UD’s UniCluster software stack - a fully integrated, community-enabled open source cluster software stack – and has grown into an all-inclusive destination for users to exchange information, ideas, and participate in development projects.
Grid.org claims UniCluster simplifies the deployment, configuration and management of clusters, from installation and job scheduling to monitoring and remote access, and due to its open source status and strong community, implementations are growing strong.
“Univa UD’s mission is to bring practical and cost effective systems management best practices to HPC environments for a better price,” said Gary Tyreman, VP and General Manager of HPC for Univa UD. “Surpassing 5,000 downloads substantiates that UniCluster is a superior alternative to existing, more expensive workload management solutions.”
