InternetNews | at | by Mike
Microsoft's server group is looking to displace Linux in the growing cluster computing market.
The software giant released the first beta version of its Compute Cluster Solution today at its Professional Developers Conference as well as online.
The formal release, which will help manage clusters of up to 128 machines, is scheduled for the first half of next year.
"We think the ecosystem is ready for this and we're very excited about this opportunity," Bob Muglia, Microsoft's senior vice president of Windows server division, said in his keynote address here.
