Platform Computing has announced a migration program for Grid Engine users. With the recent change in licensing and distribution for Grid Engine, Platform Computing says its users may want to select different workload management software. The company says it is offering an alternative that can meet the needs of the most demanding customers.
In December 2010, Oracle announced its plans to stop work on the open source version of Grid Engine and dismantle the CollabNet site, according to Platform Computing. Going forward, Oracle Grid Engine will be available as a commercially licensed software product.
"We’ve been working closely with Platform Computing over the years to deliver complete, integrated cluster solutions that are optimized and customized to our customer’s unique requirements," says Donnie Bell, Marketing Director, HPC strategy, Dell Inc. "These solutions deliver a complete and robust set of HPC management capabilities, all of which are designed to enable faster results for a wide range of workloads conducted across the scientific and research communities."
The Grid Engine Migration Program provides customers with the tools and support to move to a commercial cluster and workload management product, either Platform HPC or Platform LSF. Customers will benefit from a set of management capabilities with cluster provisioning, workload management, automated workflow, and monitoring and analysis, all of which are accessible through a unified web interface. Platform LSF and Platform HPC also include application integration templates for ISV applications, which are intended to make it easier to use and manage third-party applications with the cluster.
The program also includes free evaluation software downloads, discount license pricing and migration services. Discount pricing is available through June 30, 2011.
