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

Evidian SafeKit is a robust software solution aimed at achieving high availability for crucial applications across both Windows and Linux systems. This comprehensive tool combines several features, including load balancing, real-time synchronous file replication, automatic failover for applications, and seamless failback after server outages, all packaged within one product. By doing so, it removes the requirement for additional hardware like network load balancers or shared disks, and it also eliminates the need for costly enterprise versions of operating systems and databases. SafeKit's innovative software clustering allows users to establish mirror clusters that ensure real-time data replication and failover, as well as farm clusters that facilitate both load balancing and failover capabilities. Furthermore, it supports advanced configurations like farm plus mirror clusters and active-active clusters, enhancing flexibility and performance. Its unique shared-nothing architecture greatly simplifies the deployment process, making it particularly advantageous for use in remote locations by circumventing the challenges typically associated with shared disk clusters. In summary, SafeKit provides an effective and streamlined solution for maintaining application availability and data integrity across diverse environments.
