Searchlight Solutions announced its subsidiary, Linux Labs International, Inc., is launching a beta program for IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) style private and hybrid clouds based on their proprietary Indigo file system and Nimbus cloud operating system. The platform provides a single interface that lets users access high performance computing infrastructure resources available in private clouds.

Linux recently completed a key upgrade of its proprietary NimbusOS for use as the Operating System for its High Performance Cloud Computing ("HPC2") service. Linux Labs NimbusOS was developed to be compatible and configurable for almost all HPC applications. The integration of the proprietary Indigo file system will provide customers a cost effective way to store their data in addition to the high performance processing services offered as part of the Company's HPC2 service.

This beta program is another major step forward towards full deployment of the Company's complete suite of HPC2 services.
