ComputeMode Grid Manager Appliance

Lightweight HPC cluster server

Description

This appliance aims at acting like a HPC cluster frontal server gateway.

It can transform your workstations in cluster nodes, without interfering with your work by: either booting other VMware Player appliances and starting them as nodes or booting real machines into a diskless 'native' mode.
