Description

Rocks is an open-source Linux distribution designed for building computational clusters, grid endpoints, and visualization tiled-display walls with ease for end users. Since its inception in May 2000, the Rocks team has worked to simplify the deployment and management of clusters, focusing on making them easy to deploy, manage, upgrade, and scale effectively. The most recent version, Rocks 7.0, also known as Manzanita, is exclusively a 64-bit release based on CentOS 7.4, incorporating all updates as of December 1, 2017. This distribution comes with a variety of tools, including the Message Passing Interface (MPI), which are essential for converting a collection of computers into a functional cluster. Users can customize their installations by incorporating additional software packages during the installation process using specially provided CDs. Moreover, recent security vulnerabilities known as Spectre and Meltdown impact nearly all hardware, and appropriate mitigations are implemented through operating system updates to enhance security. As a result, Rocks not only facilitates the creation of clusters but also ensures that they remain secure and up-to-date with the latest patches and enhancements.

Description

Reduce unexpected downtime and lessen the risk of data loss resulting from corruption or system failures. The SLE HA extension features geo clustering capabilities to oversee clustered servers, whether they are located on-premises or in cloud environments globally. Our policy-driven, robust extension for Linux clusters ensures that your business remains operational while significantly reducing unplanned downtime across various locations and regions. With flexible, policy-driven clustering and continuous data replication, you can enhance adaptability while improving service availability and resource efficiency by integrating both physical and virtual Linux server clusters. A powerful unified interface allows you to install, configure, manage, and monitor your clustered Linux environments seamlessly. Additionally, multi-tenancy functionality enables you to organize geo clusters in alignment with specific business requirements, ensuring tailored management and optimal performance. This comprehensive approach offers a strategic advantage in maintaining system resilience and operational excellence.
