The new software management system is more than just a visual tool, but a true interactive cluster management tool that enables remote monitoring and management to the cluster from anywhere in the world. The ABC Software Management system is an umbrella of tools and utilities designed to manage, control and operate a Beowulf Cluster from a single integrated application. Aspen Systems' custom ABC software management system offers administration, performance and fault management, scalability, human-machine interface, security, pro-active monitoring, re-active monitoring, corrective actions, remote command execution, and remote installation services in a ready-to-operate package. Its ability to perform mission critical, non-critical and support functions across a Beowulf Cluster empowers an administrator of such a cluster with the ability to install nodes, upgrade operating system components in addition to end-user applications.
