Phoenix Clustering Managemet Software
Effortless Cluster Administration
Phoenix is a complete cluster management suite developed by Atipa to provide easy day-to-day management and operations of our clusters
Complimentary with 3 years of standard support for all new cluster purchases
-
Fully compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, & Scientific Linux.
Up-to-date and installed with the latest patches.
-
Single, central point of management.
All configuration, user accounts, and health monitoring are performed from the head node.
-
Quick, intuitive node provisioning.
100% menu-driven installation process facilitates easy deployment of new nodes.
-
Support for multiple node types.
Pre-defined node types include standard compute nodes, large memory nodes, accelerator nodes, storage nodes, and Lustre* server nodes.
Additional custom node types are optional.
-
Easily modified node software stack.
Each node type has its own configuration files and installation scripts to allow fine-grained customization of the software stack for different node types.
-
User account management.
A single command creates new user accounts and access to all cluster nodes.
-
Parallel command execution.
Simultaneously copy files or execute commands on all nodes or subgroups of nodes in the cluster.
-
Out-of-band system management.
Remote power on/off and KVM-over-LAN via dedicated IPMI 2.0 network.
-
Web & command-line based health monitoring. Web-based monitoring available via ganglia, with custom plug-ins for CPU temperature and fan speed monitoring. Command-line checks are available from a single clusterQC command, customized for each cluster and node type to check hardware and software conformity.
-
Customized to each system for ideal user experience.
Custom clusters need custom software. Modifications or additions needed for specialty items are included into a site-specific Phoenix stack as needed.
-
Pre-bundled job scheduler, parallel libraries, & performance libraries.
Open source job scheduler (torque/maui or Slurm), parallel libraries (Open MPI), Intel® Math Kernel Library (MKL) included. Others available on request.
-
Pre-configured environment modules.
Easily manage different versions of applications and libraries without conflict. End-users can dynamically modify their environment with simple commands.
-
Optional commercial schedulers, compilers & 3rd-party software.
Advanced scheduling with Moab HPC Suite, transparent code optimization with Intel® or PGI® compilers, improved software development with 3rd-party development tools.
-
Performance tuning.
All clusters are tuned for top performance for a wide range of applications.
-
Certified Intel® Cluster Ready.
Conforms with Intel®’s Scalable System Framework cluster architecture.
