Q&A: CERN group leader of fabric infrastructure and operations, Tony Cass
CERN group leader of fabric infrastructure and operations, Tony Cass, tells Computing how this presents a significant management and security challenge, especially when it comes to convincing 10,000 exacting physicists that virtual servers can run their batch processing jobs properly.
We are using Platform Computing’s ISF adaptive cluster and LSF grid workload management software to manage both virtual and physical machines, both those short-lived VMs used for batch processing and long-life machines used for classical server processes running for many days or months.
