Linux Networx and MSC.Software Partner to Deliver Validated Cluster
System Solutions for Virtual Product Development SALT LAKE CITY,
Nov. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Linux Networx announced today a
partnership with MSC.Software Corp. , the leading global provider
of virtual product development (VPD) products including simulation
software and services, to provide manufacturers an integrated
software and cluster computing system for computer-aided
engineering (CAE) and VPD. The combined MSC.Software and Linux
Networx system will help organizations quickly visualize and test
virtual product designs to significantly improve concept
development, testing, and production activities. The testing and
optimization of the joint solution was performed at the Linux
Networx Solutions Center, an education and validation resource for
customers and partners to explore the latest cluster technology.
The Evolocity(TM) cluster used at the Solutions Center was recently
ranked 266th on the Top 500 list ( http://www.top500.org/ ).
Delivering complete and validated systems with leading independent
software vendors (ISVs), like MSC.Software, is a key Linux Networx
strategy. Under the terms of the agreement, Linux Networx will
address all systems-level design, testing, validation, delivery and
support of the cluster-computing hardware, while MSC.Software will
address all software applications, installation, optimization and
support. The current cluster systems offering encompasses a number
of MSC.Software applications including MSC.Nastran, MSC.Marc and
MSC.Dytran to ensure optimum performance on Linux Networx's
Evolocity systems. MSC.Software can also assist with installation
and optimization of other CAE applications including LS-Dyna for
crash and high-speed interaction analysis and FLUENT(R) for
computational fluid dynamics. "Though MSC.Software no longer sells
systems and hardware directly, we are committed to continuing our
work in the high performance computing area by partnering with
other vendors who can provide a value-added solution like Linux
Networx," said Rick Murphy, senior vice president at MSC.Software.
"This combined solution from Linux Networx and MSC.Software is an
excellent addition to our high performance computing offering and
we are confident that it will increase the efficiency of our
customers' product development process." Linux clustering is a
method of linking multiple computers together to form a unified and
more powerful system. The Evolocity cluster, pre- integrated with
MSC.Software products, includes Linux Networx Evolocity compute
nodes, and Clusterworx(R) and ICE Box(TM) to simplify cluster
management. "This partnership represents an important strategy at
Linux Networx to deliver cluster systems to customers that are
ready-to-run key applications as soon as they are delivered," said
Dick Linville, vice president of marketing and business development
at Linux Networx. "By combining proven Linux Networx cluster
systems with industry-leading CAE software, customers are able to
hit the ground running and deliver fast, accurate results." For
