What exactly is a turnkey cluster?

Turnkey Solutions

A turnkey cluster is one that is delivered with all required applications installed and configured. While some specific adjustments may need to be made for your individual environment, the cluster is ready to be powered on as soon as it is taken out of the box! While our competition regards turnkey as "preloaded with default software only", Red Barn prides itself on its outstanding pre-sales communications, which allows us to design and customize your cluster to your exact specifications - a truly customizable turnkey solution!

Red Barn Recommends...

Perceus, Warewulf, Caos Linux, SLURM

Here are some additional options...

PerceusPerceus is the next generation of enterprise and cluster provisioning toolkit. Created by the developers of Warewulf (one of the most utilized Linux cluster toolkits), Perceus redefines the limits of scalability, flexibility and simplicity. CaosCAOS NSA focuses on being a lightweight, fast, efficient, stable, and secure distribution of Linux that is appropriate for servers, compute nodes, network appliances, and even the latest desktop and laptop computers. Because CAOS focuses on High-Performance Computing, we have the benefit of tuning our system at a massive scale.

OscarOSCAR allows users, regardless of their experience level with a *nix environment, to install a Beowulf type high performance computing cluster. It also contains everything needed to administer and program this type of HPC cluster. Red Hat Operating SystemWhat began as a better way to build software--openness, transparency, collaboration--soon shifted the balance of power in an entire industry. The revolution of choice continues. Today Red Hat is the world's most trusted provider of Linux and open source technology.

GangliaGanglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and Grids. It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations of clusters. It leverages widely used technologies such as XML for data representation, XDR for compact, portable data transport, and RRDtool for data storage and visualization. SlurmSLURM is a resource manager designed for Linux clusters of all sizes. It provides three key functions. First, it allocates exclusive and/or non-exclusive access to resources to users for some duration of time so that they can perform work. Second, it provides a framework for starting, executing, and monitoring work (typically a parallel job). Finally, it arbitrates conflicting requests for resources by managing a batch queue of pending work.
