Compute clusters are fast replacing the legacy shared memory parallel systems that have been the traditional technology used in many high performance applications. Clusters can lower total cost of ownership and time to market by performing simulations even faster than giant supercomputers. Linux compute clusters offer openness, flexibility, low cost, and reliability.

HP is committed to developing and supplying a wide range of Linux-based products and services targeted specifically at the clustering environment. In addition, HP has forged important alliances in both the open source and commercial application communities.

This commitment, coupled with HP's experience and leadership in the HPC market and Linux, is reflected in the Unified Cluster Portfolio, our simple and cost-effective solution for high performance clusters.

With the flexibility of the modular Unified Cluster Portfolio, design and deploy the high performance Linux solution to meet your needs.

This comprehensive online resource will help you plan and implement a successful migration to 64-bit server computing based on your specific applications, workloads, IT environment and business drivers. It is divided into four categories:
