Atipa offering free online testing of Beowulf ClustersKansas City 09 Nov 2000 Linux provider Atipa Corporation is now offering prospective customers free on-line testing of its new Ascendance Beowulf clusters.
Initially, Atipa is providing customers with full access to two 4-node
Ascendance clusters, one AMD and one Intel. Each of the Beowulf clusters has
been configured with Wulfkit, Myrinet, Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet
connectivity to enable customers to test drive the clusters and benchmark their
own applications using any or all of the four options.
"The clear and compelling price/performance advantage of Linux clusters over
traditional supercomputers is pushing more and more customers to explore whether
a Beowulf cluster is the solution they need," said Mike Jacobs, Vice President
of Atipa's Hardware Group. "As this awareness increases, we want to make it
simple and easy for our customers to take a test drive and quickly gather the
supporting data they need to make the move to an Atipa Ascendance cluster. The
initiation of on-line benchmark testing is the latest in a series of steps Atipa
is taking to position itself as a leading vendor of choice in the high
performance computing market."
