IBM rolls out Windows Cluster Server for HPC
eWeek | at | by Mike
IBM is joining Hewlett- Packard to offer Microsoft's Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 for its high-performance computer products.
The partnership was presaged by IBM's February announcement that it would start supporting Microsoft's Compute Cluster, and IBM said the software suite would now start shipping with its System Cluster 1350.
IBM, whose products dominated the top 10 list of world's fastest supercomputers when the list was announced this week at the International Supercomputing Conference in Germany, is looking to expand its cluster and HPC offering to more enterprise and midmarket companies. At the same time, Microsoft is looking to break into a field ? HPC ? that has long been dominated by Linux.
