  1. Clustering software or management software? by booch · · Score: 2 · on What Cluster Management Software is Out There?

    If you are looking for software to create a cluster, there are several, depending upong what type of cluster you are trying to create. If you are creating a service-based cluster, check out TurboLinux Cluster Server, Linux Virtual Servers, PolyServe Understudy, and Legato. There are many others available, including hardware solutions from Cisco, F5, and Alteon. I'm not too familiar with Beowulf-type clusters.

    If you are looking for software to manage groups of systems, that's a whole different story. You might look into Enlighten DSM, Tivoli, or OpenNMS. I'm sure there's a lot of competition in that field as well, but I don't have any experience with those products.

  2. Re:some good strategies for all of us by linzeal · · Score: 1 · on SCO & Linux: If You Can't Beat 'Em

    Win-win #3 "Managing multiple Linux servers as well as applications from a single console as if they were a single system." Four telnet terms on a screen? Seriously, I wonder to what extent this will be integrated? SGI and others have a similar tool available, enlightenDSM. Linux *really* needs this kind of configuration tool for it to be accepted into the high-end server market.

    from MANDRAKESOFT AND ENLIGHTEN SOFTWARE: PARTNERS FOR LINUX MANAGEMENT

    Enlighten Software Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: SFTW), a leading provider of integrated event monitoring and systems-management software for Linux, Unix and Windows, and MandrakeSoft, one of the world's leading Linux providers, today announced a strategic partnership. As a result of the partnership, MandrakeSoft will bundle Enlighten's cross-platform User Management software with the MandrakeSoft 7.1 distribution......

    It runs great on my box at home, and I would expect other distros to begin picking it up shortly.

  3. some good strategies for all of us by semis · · Score: 2 · on SCO & Linux: If You Can't Beat 'Em
    I typically don't like SCO's strategies and positions, but it looks like this could be a good win-win for everyone. I think SCO has some good ideas here, as it looks like they are tackling some of Linux's shortfallings HEAD-ON.

    Win-win #1

    "Building the Linux clustering capacity to be in line with SCO's NonStop Clusters technology"
    Linux redundancy is currently limited to a few nodes - SCO claim they will increase this to 12. This will help Linux get accepted into more mission critical applications, where redundancy is a necessity.

    Win-win #2

    "Beefing up Linux's symmetric multiprocessing capabilities."
    We all complained about Mindcraft. SCO deserves credit for deciding to put effort in to fix this.

    Win-win #3

    "Managing multiple Linux servers as well as applications from a single console as if they were a single system."
    Four telnet terms on a screen? Seriously, I wonder to what extent this will be integrated? SGI and others have a similar tool available, enlightenDSM. Linux *really* needs this kind of configuration tool for it to be accepted into the high-end server market.

    Win-win #4

    "Improving security ..."
    Although the article doesn't indicate to what extent this effort will be, it's certainly a good move. Since when did you hear the other vendors claim they are working on improving security issues. Maybe SCO will help fund the linux kernel security auditing project?

    Well. Good thoughts SCO. I think they have got the right direction, and im sure 20 years of *nix experience will give some mature input into the "Beloved" OS ;)

  4. EnlightenDSM is definitely NOT only RedHat by consume · · Score: 1 · on Red Hat Is Not Linux (dot org)

    Nothing against the creators of the site, but you all on SlashDot should know that the Enlighten Distributed Systems Management tool runs on SuSE, RedHat and a couple of other distros.

    BTW - It's actually a pretty cool product - you can manage (add users, change configs, etc) several hundred boxes covering a couple dozen different OS' from a single interface. You can download a copy of it from FreshMeat and try it out on your own distro.

    Regarding the site inaccuracy, I don't think it would be appropriate for me (just another *nix whacko) to contact RHINL.org, but my Enlighten Sales Engineer is sending an official response soon.
