"HP is a world leader in high-performance computing and the combination of our software and HP's cluster technology will raise the usability and price performance bar significantly for the Linux Cluster community," said Paul Kirchoff, United Devices' VP of Marketing and Business Development. "This will allow customers to share their clusters across many user groups and dynamically provision the clusters across users and applications."

United Device's Grid MP Enterprise platform aims to provide several new advantages to the cluster community, including seamless virtualization and provisioning of resources, centralized data and application management, high levels of security and a leading application framework. The technology currently operates large-scale grids and clusters at many of the world's largest Pharmaceutical companies.
