Cluster. Knoppix Clustering with Linux

Cluster. Knoppix � � Cluster. Knoppix is a derivative of Knoppix, based on Debian Cluster. Knoppix aims to provide the same core features and software as Knoppix, but adds the open. Mosix clustering capabilities also Designed to be a complete Linux distribution, running the largest possible array of desktop user applications. Knoppix provides this facility without actually “installing” the operating system onto local storage media

CHAOS � � � CHAOS is not intended to be fully-laden with application software; CHAOS is designed to be a compact Linux and open. Mosix distribution that is secure and highly distributable. CHAOS does not interfere with the host operating system, running entirely from RAM it also frees the CDROM boot media Well suited as a minimized “drone node” distribution. Biggest advantage of using CHAOS is its focus on security and deployment methodology

CHAOS � � CHAOS is the first Linux and open. Mosix distribution to add native network security to the cluster deployment Every node in the cluster does its own packet filtering, and establishes IPSEC tunnels as required This is performed transparently, requiring no user intervention. CHAOS is capable of PXE booting new nodes

Gluster Storage Platform Storage Systems

Gluster Storage Platform • • A complete storage operating system/platform built on Gluster. FS cluster file system that can be easily installed on industry standard commodity hardware Efficient installer that enables quick install and boot of first server, with disk formatting done post install, and supports remote install of subsequent servers Integrated easy to use and feature rich web-based management UI that makes installation and configuration of large clustered storage systems quick and simple. Key management interface features are: • Volume manager • Resource manager • Server/disk manager • Log viewer Built in, pre-configured support for 10 Gig. E and Infiniband (Open Fabrics) making it easy to utilize these hi-speed server interconnects
