Greg Kurtzer from Infiscale stopped by the booth to ask how OpenVZ could potentially be used with his product to improve High Availability. Before starting Infiscale, Greg was the founder of the Caos Foundation which eventually lead to the development of CentOS. I talked to Greg about Infiscale's solutions and how they compared to Rocks Clusters.

Ok, so here I am with yet another late write up. This is for day three of LWCE 2008 which was Thursday, August 7th... the last day of the show.
Greg Kurtzer from Infiscale stopped by the booth to ask how OpenVZ could potentially be used with his product to improve High Availability. Before starting Infiscale, Greg was the founder of the Caos Foundation which eventually lead to the development of CentOS. I talked to Greg about Infiscale's solutions and how they compared to Rocks Clusters.
According to Greg, Infiscale's products are used in the a large number of the top 500 fastest super computers and Rocks Clusters is using a completely broken approach. The main factor he mentioned was that Rocks uses physical disks in each of their compute nodes whereas Infiscale uses a stateless computing approach with a single machine image and no hard disks. Of course, he would have to say the competition was broken to help justify his approach but I'm sure there is a lot of validity to his claims. Full Story |
