Integration of Voltaire UFM Software and Platform LSF Enables More Efficient Management and Operations of Scale-out HPC Centers and Cloud Implementations

At ISC10, Voltaire and Platform Computing 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.

“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.”
