Bright Computing to Release Updates to HPC Management Software at SC15

Bright Computing, a provider of hardware-agnostic cluster and cloud management software, will release several updates and enhancements to its most popular management software solutions at SC15, which takes place Nov. 15-20, 2015, in Austin, TX. The updates will include more than a dozen features that the company says will simplify OpenStack deployment, add built-in integration functionality and improve Big Data integration. It includes support for the latest releases from Apache, Cloudera, Hortonworks and Pivotal.

Bright’s software development engineers and other Bright experts will be on hand at SC15 in Booth # 1815 to demonstrate how the new features meet Bright’s mission to reduce the complexity of on-premise HPC and make it easy to extend into the cloud to take full advantage of dynamic resources and virtualized infrastructure.

“Bright’s HPC cluster management solution provides a solid foundation for combining high-performance computing, big data and private cloud environments,” says Dr. Matthijs van Leeuwen, founder and CEO of Bright Computing in a press release. “Our latest enhancements respond to the growing trend we are seeing in which more and more HPC users want to combine HPC workloads with big data analytics workloads in the same infrastructure.”

According to the company, users demand flexibility to run workloads on either bare metal, virtualized machines or in containerized environments, so Bright has been focusing on developing a complete infrastructure that gives operators this choice.
