Dell M1000E as a beowolf cluster? 16 R630 blades
by InterceptorF from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5N64G)
Looking at creating a beowolf cluster (yes I know that its an old technology that's why I'm asking) with a Dell E1000M with 16 blade servers connecting to an IB switch. Is there a newer cluster technology that would be a better choice? Can the E1000M chassis with 16 R630 blades be made into an older Beowolf cluster successfully? Thoughts? I don't think Lustre will do what I need. I have a R740 that's getting POUNDED with Gerrit and Jenkins ci as well as doing a ton of rsync backup scripts. Thanks for thoughts on this in advance.
