Microsoft makes supercomputing move
Gates will speak at the SC05 supercomputing conference, a first for Microsoft, where he will announce that the company has entered Beta-2 testing of its Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003.
The product consists of a cluster-optimised version of the OS as well as software for job scheduling and other tasks. It is scheduled for release in final form in the first half of next year.
Microsoft says it has seen a shift where such products expand beyond a niche market into more and more businesses. Microsoft is pitching its tools as on par with the performance of Linux.
The company also claims its tools are easier to manage and integrate with the rest of a corporate computing environment.
