TeamHPC to integrate Terrascale's TerraGrid software into Linux cluster solutions - Terrascale Technologies, an innovative developer of next generation input/output (I/O) software, today announced an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partnership with TeamHPC, a leading provider of Linux-based turnkey cluster solutions. This announcement marks Terrascale's first OEM partnership. TeamHPC is now integrating Terrascale's TerraGrid software into Linux-based cluster applications. TerraGrid enables clusters to sustain unprecedented levels of I/O performance while providing linearly scalable parallel access to unified pools of data. TerraGrid is the "glue" that binds together best-of-breed commodity servers, networks and Open Source software, enabling sustained application efficiency levels previously attainable only on expensive and proprietary monolithic platforms. TerraGrid-enabled solutions are ideally suited to data-intensive business and R&D operations. TeamHPC is actively driving the emergence of the cluster as the pre-eminent technology model in supercomputing. Thanks to compelling competitive advantages - superior cost-efficiency, higher performance and simplified maintenance - TeamHPC clusters are currently deployed at more than 100 customer sites, including Fermi National Accelerator Lab, CERN, NASA, Princeton University, Harvard University and Yale University. "As technology innovators, we are constantly seeking to integrate superior hardware and software into the clusters that we custom design for our clients, " said Bret Stouder, President, TeamHPC. "Integrating TerraGrid into our clusters enables us to offer increased I/O performance, unified namespace and linear scalability to our existing and future clients. We look forward to a long and mutually-beneficial partnership with Terrascale," Mr. Stouder added. "TeamHPC is well established as an innovator in supercomputing and has the client roster to prove it," said Gautham Sastri, President and CEO, Terrascale Technologies. "Integrating TerraGrid into their clusters will enable TeamHPC to offer enhanced performance and accelerated ROI to their clients. We are proud to be working with TeamHPC to deliver the best technology on the market to some of the country's most distinguished clients," Mr. Sastri added.
