[TriLUG] Penguin Computing Servers & Clustering

[Ken VanDine]

I am interested :-)

We are in the process of replacing our "home brewed" cluster with some heavier
weight hardware.  Looking closely at the IBM Blade Center, very nice hardware. 
There is also a "Open Source Like" (as close to open as IBM gets) management
application called xCAT, we are also evaluating that.  We are using Sun Grid
engine for our queueing system, and I doubt that would change.  

Anyone else interested?  I would love to hear more about what people are doing
in this space.
