IBM on Tuesday announced a prepackaged and pretested cluster that is powered by Advanced Micro Devices Inc<wm>., which makes high performance CPUs and has partnered with RedHat, the makers of Linux. Together they are developing the integrated system, and RedHat will license and certify the system, making it easy for companies to deploy it through its distribution channel.
With RedHat Linux, the system is a more affordable, high performance computing cluster at last. Although it can only use Linux operating system, the system will include Windows support and will come pre configured. "In a cluster environment, the potential cost savings from</wm> sharing workloads on two different operating system is not a unique value proposition," said a RedHat spokesperson
