Univa Unifies Grid Engine and Eucalyptus Clouds

Univa, the data center optimization company, today announced it has partnered with Eucalyptus Systems to enable organizations to seamlessly integrate Eucalyptus on-premise cloud management software into their Grid Engine compute environments. This enables organizations using Grid Engine to fully exploit the benefits of dynamic, scalable and self-serve cloud systems within the backbone of their production compute and data analysis infrastructures.

Univa and Eucalyptus Systems have solved these issues and now offer the power of private clouds to the High Performance Computing masses, just in case to enabling Eucalyptus clouds to seamlessly embed Grid Engine workloads.

Ever-accelerating technology cycle

"Technical computing infrastructures continue to evolve rapidly as they must support an ever-accelerating technology cycle," said Rich Wolski, CTO at Eucalyptus Systems. "The ability to re-purpose systems quickly is a key capability for lowering the cost of IT. Integrating Grid Engine systems into the elastic and scalable Eucalyptus private cloud creates a new kind of flexible software environment for simultaneously managing cloud and HPC workloads."
