New Site Offers Autonomy, Organic Groups, Transparent Support for
Users of Open Source Cluster Software
LISLE, Ill.–(EMWNews)–Grid.org, the open source community for cluster and grid users,
administrators and developers, unveiled its new website today at www.grid.org.
With an interface and usability overhaul, as well as innovative new
functionality resulting in greater user autonomy, Grid.org has
reinvented not only its appearance but also its underlying architecture.
“The new Grid.org site is light years beyond
its original version,” said Bill Bryce,
Director of HPC Products at Univa UD, Grid.org’s
founding sponsor. “Grid.org is doing things no
other community site is doing, like providing transparent access to
support and allowing users to create their own organic groups and own
the content they create.”
“I’m excited to be
able to moderate a group for HPC users interested in EC2,”
said Chris Dagdigian, Co-founder & Principal Consultant at The BioTeam
Inc., a top consultancy for Life Sciences IT. “It’s
really an interesting approach to online communities –
I own all the content I create, and Grid.org makes it easy to
cross-publish this anywhere I want.”
Grid.org is an open source community where cluster and grid users,
developers, and administrators come to connect and communicate, exchange
information and ideas, and participate in development projects. Home to
the UniCluster open source project as well as other open source projects
and communities, the Grid.org mission is to provide an all-inclusive
destination for people with similar cluster and grid interests.
“This new site should make it much easier for
our users to not only find the information they need related to cluster
management, but also to use this information effectively,”
said Gregory Shirin, OEM Business Development Executive at Sun
Microsystems, Grid Engine Group. “Grid Engine
community members will benefit from having access to a site like
Grid.org, which brings together HPC leaders from various subject areas
to work on development projects important to Grid Engine users.”
“Anyone using a cluster to run HPC
applications should take notice of this community,”
said Scott McDonald, president and founder of Grid Gateway, a leading
grid computing services and reseller company. “The
degree to which members have autonomy, as well as the support
transparency and ability to get involved in important projects, is
nearly unprecedented.”
The site sponsor, Univa UD, unveiled the original Grid.org site in
November 2007 at the Supercomputing ’07
(SC07) conference. To join the community, visit www.grid.org.
