Grid Gateway Selects Univa UD UniCluster for HPC Lifecycle Management SolutionPartnership Brings Together HPC Leaders, Extends Solution Range and Support for CustomersLISLE, IL, July 9, 2008 — Univa UD, a pioneer in HPC systems management products for the complete distributed computing lifecycle and Grid Gateway, a leading grid computing services and reseller company, today announced their partnership whereby Grid Gateway will market and sell Univa UD's UniCluster product suite and services. The collaboration will enable both companies to expand their reach within the high performance computing market and increase the capabilities available to HPC customers. "Univa UD's UniCluster suite strengthens our HPC capabilities and enables our customers to more readily address multiple stages of the HPC lifecycle than a job scheduler alone," says Scott McDonald, president and founder of Grid Gateway. "Adopting UniCluster is the best way for our HPC customers to simplify the process of getting a cluster up, running and fully supported." Grid Gateway is a leading value-added reseller of Sun Grid Engine, the scheduling component of the UniCluster stack. By joining forces with Univa UD, the leader in open source cluster management, Grid Gateway will be able to offer more extensive cluster management capabilities to new and existing customers in electronic design automation, life sciences, finance, government & education and digital content creation. "Customers from both companies will benefit greatly from this partnership which increases Univa UD's footprint on the West Coast and across the United States," said Greg Lanier, Director of Sales for Univa UD. "With the expertise of Univa UD's founders and the extensive commercial HPC experience of Grid Gateway's leadership team, this venture will result in new revenue opportunities for both companies." Univa UD's UniCluster is a fully integrated, community-enabled, open source, cluster software stack with unrestricted support for all its components. UniCluster simplifies the deployment, configuration and management of clusters, from installation to job scheduling, monitoring and remote access. UniCluster is currently available for download from Grid.org (www.grid.org), the online community for open source cluster and grid software users, administrators and developers.
