Submission + - Sun acquires new Lustre (sun.com)
JerkBoB writes: This morning, Sun announced an agreement to purchase the assets of Cluster File Systems, the company behind the Lustre High Performance File System.
From the press release:
Given Sun's failure to win any part of the DARPA HPCS award last November, I wonder how this acquisition will change things for Sun in the HPC world?The agreement further extends Sun's momentum in open source and Solaris and complements the Company's current direction to provide the industry's most complete end-to-end High Performance Computing (HPC) storage solution.
