Univa UD Outlines Grid and Cluster StrategyBy Paul ShreadOctober 25, 2007
At last week's Open Grid Forum in Seattle, Univa UD CTO Steve Tuecke outlined the grid and cluster product roadmap of the company formed by last month's merger of Univa and United Devices. The product suite will include a free, downloadable open source standard for cluster workload management, along with a professional version that gives Cluster Express added functionality. For enterprise-wide grid computing, Univa UD will offer Grid MP, a United Devices-developed product that the company calls "the industry-leading technology for powering heterogeneous grids of all sizes and types." "Switching to Univa UD products can put an end to the hefty maintenance price tags and unreliable support that our customers say are so typical of proprietary solutions," Tuecke said at OGF21. "Users of our cluster products can free themselves from schemes based on proprietary software and literally can be up and running on our proven, cost-effective Univa UD technology in a single day." The new product lineup includes:
"The breadth of Univa UD's offerings now gives businesses access for the first time to a complete, integrated open source stack for cluster and grid," said Tuecke. "Our vision is to emulate and improve on the open source models of software companies who have gone before us, companies like Red Hat and SugarCRM," he said. "Businesses can get free, immediate access to Cluster Express, with support available as needed, or they can turn to more extensive offerings like Cluster Pro and Grid MP." The company will also continue to offer data center automation and managed services through a separate business unit. The downloadable Cluster Express will be available for free next month at www.UnivaUD.com. Courtesy of Grid Computing Planet.
