A strategic acquisition by Platform Computing (Toronto, Canada) of the Scali Manage business from Scali Inc. (Marlborough, MA; http://www.scali.com/), will further its vision to be the partner of choice for HPC infrastructure software worldwide.

The Scali Manage product, an integrated and flexible High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster management and monitoring system, complements Platform's existing HPC offerings and extends Platform's products' cluster and grid management capabilities.

While the use of clusters and grid infrastructure is on the rise, the integration and management of these systems remains complex. Products such as Platform Open Cluster Stack (OCS) and Scali Manage have been developed specifically to improve performance, simplicity, and lower the support cost necessary to operate a HPC infrastructure. With the acquisition of Scali Manage, Platform will build upon the success of Platform OCS by integrating components of both technologies into a new product offering.

As part of the agreement, Platform will continue to sell, support, and enhance Scali Manage. In addition, Scali Manage will be integrated with Platform's LSF family of products by the second quarter of 2008. Scali Manage customers will receive ongoing support and maintenance consistent with Platform's 24/7 support and services practice.

Platform's mission is to help analysts, engineers, and scientists advance the world by exploiting the power of HPC, especially in such industries as electronics, oil and gas, industrial manufacturing, government/research, education, life sciences and financial services.

Go to Platform Computing or to Platform's family of products for more details.
