OS Support
|
|
KiloCluster™ HPC systems support the latest linux open-source and payware revisions such as CentOS and RHEL. Contact our engineering staff for recommendations and qualification of specific variants of linux that may be required for legacy reasons.

Cluster Monitoring
|
|
KiloMon™ is a web-based cluster monitoring tool that provides the administrator with a aerial view plus individual node level status of the KiloCluster™. Utilizing a industry standard IPMI interface, KiloMon™ monitors CPU temp, system temp, and fan speeds of each individual system in a easy to read graphical interface. KiloMon™ also allows the administrator to remotely power cycle a distressed node with the click of a on-screen button.

|
Additional Local and Remote Monitoring Options:
• Out-of-Band Serial Console access via IP
• KVM and KVM-over-IP
• 1U rackmount slide out LCD display with keyboard and mouse
