ANSIBLE MODULE

4 ©BRIGHT COMPUTING PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

Bright is providing an integration with Ansible in the Bright Cluster Manager 9.1 release that allows an administrator to build and manage a Bright Clusters using an Ansible playbook

ANSIBLE MODULE

Infrastructure as code approach to configure clusters

Roll out changes to large numbers of

Bright clusters

Parallel upgrades: configure the new head node quickly and identically to their production

cluster

Disaster Recovery (DR): quickly

redeploy a new cluster based upon

an existing production cluster in the event of a

disasterOrganizations that have standardized on Ansible gain the power and flexibility that Bright Cluster Manager provides

CLUSTER AS A SERVICE FOR VMWARE

6 ©BRIGHT COMPUTING PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

Bright Cluster Manager 9.1 provides an integration with vSphere that allows high-performance clusters to be created and managed without the need for skills and knowledge of vSphere.

CLUSTER-AS-A-SERVICE FOR VMWARE

Organizations can fully utilize their vSphere infrastructure saving money, accelerating innovation, and increasing the capacity of their HPC infrastructure

Utilizing vSphere capacity for high-performance requirements reduces the need to use public cloud infrastructure

Fully utilize your vSphere infrastructure 24x7x365

Redfish

Pluggable framework for server models

More secure than IPMI

Scalable to thousands or tens

of thousands of nodes

Supports all types of servers

Provides RESTful interface

Bright Cluster Manager 9.1 is introducing support for Redfish BIOS management

REDFISH AUTOMATED BIOS MANAGEMENT

OFFLOADABLEMONITORING

20 ©BRIGHT COMPUTING PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL

In Bright Cluster Manager 9.1, the cluster monitoring function for the entire system can be “offloaded” from the system’s head node to a set of dedicated servers that perform system monitoring exclusively

OFFLOADABLE MONITORING

H1 H2 M1 M2 M3

N*N5N4N3N1 N2

Bright Cluster Manager can build and manage clusters of 50,000 to 100,000 nodes depending on how many dedicated monitoring nodes are used

Frees the head node to perform its other duties and allows the system to continue scaling

If a dedicated monitoring node fails, the

remaining monitoring nodes will take over

monitoring the orphaned compute nodes

until the failed monitoring node is reinstated
