New Team Provides Mulitvendor Server Solutions

By DE Editors

September 12, 2007 — The North American Components (NAC) business of Arrow Electronics, Inc. (Melville, NY) and Platform Computing (Ontario, Canada) will provide customers with high-performance, multivendor, cluster server solutions that meet Intel Cluster Ready Certification requirements.

Arrow will be using Platform Open Cluster Stack (OCS), a pre-integrated, vendor-certified software stack that enables the consistent delivery of Linux application clusters. Platform OCS also provides a user-friendly interface geared for enterprises that are new to high-performance cluster data center solutions. Arrow’s solutions, based on Platform OCS, are certified as Intel Cluster Ready, a certification program designed to simplify the development, purchase, deployment, usage, and management of clustered computer systems.

This product, on its own, does not constitute an Intel Cluster Ready system, nor does combining it with another product ensure that the complete system is Intel Cluster Ready, unless the complete system is specifically certified as an Intel Cluster Ready system.
