ScaleMP cuts InfiniBand out of virtual SMP clusters

ScaleMP, a maker of virtualization and aggregation software that allows a cluster of x64 servers to look like a big, bad, symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) shared-memory system to operating systems and selected classes of applications, is going downstream to target SMBs and upstream to chase cloud infrastructure providers.

Enough Already

What a kludge. This is a joke right?

Yeah, that is exactly what I was thinking, AC. vSMP is just Imagination gone Rogue and Mad and the Cloud Edition vSMP doesn't come with DC2 because it is a Network Hub/AIRouter and Root Kit for and of Blocked and Blocking Server Messages........ which is really what the SMB abbreviations refer to.

Oh, and when the Title is true, can you imagine what the Future has already developed for y'all ..... and how/with whom and/or with what it is dDelivered? Do you believe IT is GOD ..... Global Operating Devices?

Or do you prefer to Live in Alienating Ignorant Denial.

I think this is really neat technology!

The question in my mind is... how tolerant is the hypervisor to node failure?
