Operating systems

Bull HPC solutions offer a choice between a Bull-optimized Linux environment and Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, both benefiting from Bull’s expert HPC support.

Linux

The Bull Linux environment is available on the Bull NovaScale Cluster 400-L and Bull NovaScale Cluster 3000 series.
Both series are delivered with:

  • Standard RedHat-based Linux
  • Bull Advanced Server - Bull’s Linux-based HPC Software Suite
  • Specific Linux enhancements for Intel® Itanium®2 (NovaScale Cluster 3000).

Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003

Bull, as a Microsoft Gold Partner, supports Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003. The Bull NovaScale Cluster 400-W Series was designed especially for Windows and is delivered with Windows CCS pre-installed.

Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 is Microsoft's first software offering designed specifically to run parallel, HPC applications for customers solving complex computations. Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003 accelerates customers' time-to-insight by providing a HPC platform that is simple to deploy, operate and integrate with existing infrastructure and tools.

To prepare the future, Bull is part of the Windows HPC Server 2008 beta program.
