ScaleXtreme Announces Support for Dell Cloud

ScaleXtreme can instantly launch, monitor, manage and patch Windows and Linux Servers in the Dell Cloud

SAN MATEO, Calif., Aug. 7 — ScaleXtreme, a leading provider of cloud and server management products, announced full support for Dell Cloud based on VMware vCloud Data Center Services. ScaleXtreme is the first vendor to announce full support of Dell's enterprise-class Infrastructure-as-a-Service compute platform.

Dell Cloud customers can now launch, monitor, manage and patch Windows Server and Linux machines hosted in the Dell Cloud. Dell customers can sign up for free or paid accounts and instantly start managing their Dell Cloud-based servers with ScaleXtreme. Managed Service Providers (MSP's) managing servers on the Dell Cloud can also use the ScaleXtreme product to seamlessly manage multiple customer accounts running on the Dell Cloud.

"Dell is one of the most trusted brands in server infrastructure, and the Dell Cloud gives customers a trusted platform to extend their datacenter with additional, "just in time" capacity," said ScaleXtreme CEO Nand Mulchandani. "We have worked closely with the Dell team to offer our product capabilities on the Dell Cloud and are excited to be the first management product to offer native support for the platform."

ScaleXtreme provides a single view, unifying the management of an organization's server environment – spanning private and public cloud machines, different public cloud providers running on any virtualization platform, and even physical servers. It works with Windows Servers and a variety of Linux-based operating systems and helps users rapidly scale server deployments using server templates. ScaleXtreme recently announced a number of additional features, including the industry's only cloud cost-management tools, which enable IT professionals to gain visibility into cloud provider costs, establish role-based budgets and prevent the launch of unauthorized cloud machines.

ScaleXtreme's products also come equipped with cloud-based patch management automation, which provides customers the ability to schedule, deploy and automate patches for multiple machines, as well as the on-the-go iPhone application that gives system administrators a unified view of their cloud instances through a single, simple interface.

CometCloud: Using a Federated HPC-Cloud to Understand Fluid Flow in Microchannels

The ever-growing complexity of scientific and engineering problems continues to pose new computational challenges. Thus, we present a novel federation model that enables end-users with the ability to aggregate heterogeneous resource scale problems. The feasibility of this federation model has been proven, in the context of the UberCloud HPC Experiment, by gathering the most comprehensive information to date on the effects of pillars on microfluid channel flow.

CERN, Google, and the Future of Global Science Initiatives

Large-scale, worldwide scientific initiatives rely on some cloud-based system to both coordinate efforts and manage computational efforts at peak times that cannot be contained within the combined in-house HPC resources. Last week at Google I/O, Brookhaven National Lab’s Sergey Panitkin discussed the role of the Google Compute Engine in providing computational support to ATLAS, a detector of high-energy particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
