Voltaire Ltd. (NASDAQ: VOLT), a leading provider of scale-out
data center fabrics, and Platform Computing, the leader in cluster,
grid and cloud management software, today announced a partnership
to deliver optimized and automated management of data center
resources, in virtualized and cloud computing environments.
Through the integration of Voltaire Unified Fabric Manager™
(UFM) software and Platform LSF, intelligent workload scheduling
and resource allocation extends from the application layer all the
way down to the network fabric layer. The combined solution enables
high performance computing, data center and cloud computing
facilities to more easily support constantly changing resource
requirements and workloads inherent in those environments.
“HPC is a promising early adopter market for cloud computing,
with some substantial cloud initiatives under way, mostly on the
private cloud side,” said Steve Conway, research vice president in
IDC’s High Performance Computing group. “The partnership between
Platform and Voltaire aims to provide organizations with the
ability to optimize HPC data resources and manage intensive
applications across virtualized and cloud computing
environments.”
“The combination of Platform LSF and Voltaire UFM software over
InfiniBand enables our mutual customers to experience new levels of
performance and efficiency for managing HPC data center
virtualization and cloud computing technologies,” said Tripp
Purvis, vice president, business development, Platform Computing.
“The integration of Platform LSF with Voltaire UFM software extends
Platform LSF’s ability to optimize the allocation of resources in
the data center across the entire network for more efficient IT
operations.”
“The ability to automate resources becomes increasingly critical
in scale-out and cloud computing environments,” said Asaf Somekh,
vice president of marketing, Voltaire. “Combining the intelligence
of Voltaire’s UFM software with the dynamic provisioning
capabilities of Platform LSF, enables customers to fully automate
network configuration management and optimize the network. This
meets the heavy needs of HPC data centers and cloud computing
environments that may be running tens to hundreds of
applications.”
