ISS is going gangbusters over Linux partnerships for High Performance Computing
ISS is vitally interested in providing certified software to meet our customer’s requirements. Spanning from cluster inter-connects, compilers, middleware enablers, and end user applications. We have been working on partnerships in High Performance Computing to assist our customers in migrating or starting to use Linux as an operating environment on all of our hp platforms from IA32 Proliant servers thru Alpha, PARisc to IPF – Intel Processor Family of IA64 bit based machines.

Linux High Availability Clusters with no Single Point of Failure
Large and small enterprises are relying more and more on Linux/HP/SteelEye for mission-critical applications for dynamic data content such as web media distribution, data warehouses, e-commerce applications, financial systems, supply-chain management, and business intelligence systems. These applications require high availability—downtime can result in losses of millions of dollars per hour. To date however, ensuring 24x7 availability for these applications has required high costs, high numbers of redundant systems, and a dedicated IT staff.

Oracle 9i in a High Availability cluster for affordable and scalable business operations
Large enterprises rely on Oracle9i database solutions for mission-critical applications for dynamic data content such as data warehouses, e-commerce applications, financial systems, supply-chain management, and business intelligence systems. These applications require high availability—downtime can result in losses of millions of dollars per hour. To date however, ensuring 24x7 availability for these applications has required high costs, high numbers of redundant systems, and a dedicated IT staff. Today there is a cost-effective alternative.

Linux Product Positioning for ProLiant High Availability Clusters
The purpose of this document is to clarify the Linux HA offerings we have announced for ProLiant and to help field teams determine which Linux HA solution to propose based on the customer requirements. This document provides an overview of the state of the Linux market and why it s important to HP, why HP has selected to have two offerings for this space, a competitive feature comparison of the various offerings in the market, and a series of questions to determine the appropriate solution.

HP's Transforming Your Enterprise - HPC Special Edition
Wherever there's change, there's challenge, and the high performance computing (HPC) market is no exception. HPC has undergone a transformation over the past 10 years, with traditional proprietary high-end systems such as vector supercomputers (Cray) giving way to industry-standard servers running UNIX, Linux and even Microsoft Windows.

I'll be adding a dozen more soon. I also have about a dozen presentations (I'm almost scared to say this...they're .ppt, sorry, I didn't write them, any volunteers to convert?) 4-20-04, kf
