HPC Market leader Scherm Brazil to pre-install Bright Cluster Manager with ClusterTop systems

Bright Computing and Scherm Brazil are now partnering to provide state-of-the-art CPU and GPU cluster systems to the Brazilian market. Scherm will install Bright Cluster Manager as part of the build and testing process, and provide it as the management solution in their ClusterTop platforms.

"Bright Cluster Manager will enable our customers to be fully operational within hours of installing their ClusterTop systems, significantly reducing their 'time-to-computing' requirement and workload," said Ilson Schames, Sales Director at Scherm. "Bright will also greatly reduce the important task of managing their HPC clusters, freeing resources to address their other needs. Our customers will quickly realize the benefits of a powerful management platform with very little system overhead."

The Scherm ClusterTop Series is available in eight variations optimized for specific purposes, from large systems to compute-intensive servers to support cloud computing systems and high-speed GPU-based graphics systems. These powerful HPC systems are quickly customized to support a wide range of industry-specific applications.

"Scherm delivers an impressive array of powerful cluster systems," said Dr. Matthijs van Leeuwen, CEO of Bright Computing. "They have earned their market leadership position by meeting the demanding needs of its broad customer base. Their ClusterTop Series, combined with Bright Cluster Manager, provides a compute-ready platform that delivers high productivity, optimized application virtualization and reduced total cost of ownership."
