PLYMOUTH, MA, – Microway, Inc., a provider of innovative high performance computing technology, launches NodeWatch, a breakthrough remote hardware monitoring solution, increasing ease-of-maintenance for HPC Cluster computing solutions. NodeWatch promises to save valuable system administration time by measuring, reporting and recording the physical health of up to 64 nodes for each serial port available on a master node. The technology automatically monitors up to five temperatures, three voltages, and eleven fans, including power supply fans in each node. In addition, it provides physical control over power and reset switches. NodeWatch software delivers all this capability remotely via a secure, web-based GUI. NodeWatch is now fully customer configurable and available only on Microway’s 1U Athlon and 1U Xeon clusters. *Out-of-bounds values are displayed uniquely. * Monitors nodes even those that are powered off. * Cluster or individual nodes can be switched on and off, rebooted, and reset remotely. * Physical measurements integrated by Microway into Ganglia reporting software. * Common operating system tasks, such as shutdown, are integrated into the user interface. * Completely motherboard and ethernet independent. Monitored information collected via independent 18MHz embedded NodeWatch™ board and transmitted via physically independent RS485 serial network. No software whatsoever needed on slave nodes themselves! NodeWatch is the affordable option for eliminating costly down time due to power supply, CPU and memory failures.
