Perceus cloud provisioning at the Intel booth for SC 2010 New Orleans!
Intel is demonstrating the Intel Flexible Data Center with Infiscale software Perceus, GravityOS, Abstractual, and GravityFS at the SC 2010 conference. The flexibility of Perceus provisioning and Infiscale's cloud and file system solutions will showcase the advantages of Intel's latest processors and low-latency interconnects for Cloud and HPC use in a data center environment.

Intel Flexible Data Center demo at IDF 2010 San Francisco, featuring Perceus provisioning!
Infiscale and Intel are putting on a demonstration at the Intel High Performance Computing booth of the latest Infiscale scalable infrastructure software with Intel server and data center products. We are featuring the Intel Flexible Data Center, which is powered by Perceus provisioning of both bare-metal and virtual machine nodes, using GravityOS, Abstractual, and GravityFS.
If you couldn't make the show and see the live demo, you can still check it out on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ag0gEG2eiP0

Release: Perceus 1.6 on Debian/Ubuntu with GravityOS Kernel and lib hardening!
Thanks to all that have assisted. Below are links to the alphas of Perceus 1.6 on Debian (Ubuntu compatible as well).
We have also rolled an ISO that includes the Debian 6 base with Perceus and dep’s added for ease of install. This is an alpha based off Debian Squeeze. We have left off the GravityOS hardened kernel as it appears to be killing Java and a few other apps due to GRSEC but will be including it in the next release as well as a tool for enabling applications to play nice (tools for PaX). Below will include links to download .debs of the hardened kernel if you are not worried about Java and need the extra hardening (recommended for http, dns, email, and other Internet facing servers). This ISO and Perceus packages have been tested on a couple of large clouds and a giant size portal for a few weeks now with performance and stability showing to be very high. We hope you enjoy the new flavor as it has been a great pleasure working with all of our new Debian and Ubuntu friends.
Some new aspects of this release:
-Very lightweight, similar to our take with Caos NSA, but with 50k+ packages at your disposal and mostly compatible with the latest Debian and Ubuntu flavors.
-Web based GUI, while having the command line we all love, there is also a web-based statistics monitoring that will be included with live charting.
-Finer logging. After all this is cloud, that means shared, that means charging for CPU, memory, bandwidth and more. That's why you can log to a mysql db and audit later.
-Added security, thanks to GRSEC, PaX, and other kernel additions.
-GCC 4.4, makes things nice and peppy.
-LNMP, NGINX instead of Apache by default adds a new breath of life since most things are web based these days anyway.
-Nice and chubby 2.6.32 initramfs that does not care what your running, it just wants to fire it up.
Thanks to all of our partners, supporters, and userbase, and for all the kind mails and thanks in the registrations, we really read them all :)

Supercomputing 2009
If you are attending the SC09 conference in Portland, OR be sure to check out the Perceus demos running at the exhibit booths of some of our partners. At the Intel booth you can see a cluster demo of Perceus integrated with Infiscale's Intel Cluster Ready (ICR) version of Caos NSA Linux. We will have team members and a meet up as well, hope to see you there!

Linux Magazine: Caos NSA and Perceus: All-in-one Cluster Software Stack.
One of our mailing list members and long-time colleague, Jeffrey B. Layton, has written an excellent article for Linux Magazine entitled Caos NSA and Perceus: All-in-one Cluster Software Stack. It describes how easy it is do install, configure, and provision your own cluster using Perceus and Caos NSA. If you would like to know how many minutes it takes to go from bare metal to a running cluster, read the article!
