Univa UD

Portland, OR, November 17, 2009 – Univa UD, a leading provider of cloud management software products, today announced UniCluster 5.0, a major new version of Univa’s award winning infrastructure and workload management software stack that provides the underpinnings of Univa’s cloud computing solutions.

UniCluster 5.0 features:

• Truly heterogeneous support: With UniCluster 5.0, a single cluster can support OpenSolaris and Linux compute nodes with a common management framework. Further, software profiles can be created and deployed for multiple operating systems (OS) and computing environments. Thus, users can create one Kit for deployment across resources running a variety of OS’s and also across multiple hardware profiles.
• Scalability: UniCluster 5.0 easily scales to over 7,000 nodes through subordinate installer nodes.
• Robust Web-based API: UniCluster offers a unique, well defined web-based API to allow interfacing with the UniCluster core framework.
• Integrated management console: System configuration is consolidated into a single management application.
• OpenSolaris support: UniCluster 5.0 is a native OpenSolaris version, functionally equivalent to the Linux

Being able to manage workloads more efficiently and use the same technology in order to manage cloud based solutions brings further service delivery and application performance management opportunities for the end users and IT alike. Anything we can do to remove the barriers of adopting cloud based technologies has to be a good thing for the end user community and cloud computing as a platform, I see it works with Sun Grid, very, very cool.
