Callident launches open source Linux cluster company

LWN-

I'd like to formally announce my new company, Callident, to the LWN 
community. Callident is a team of Linux professionals dedicated to high 
performance computing on Linux clusters. Our first product, Callident 
Rx, automates cluster installation, includes all the HPC software a 
cluster enthusiast needs, and will be available free of charge.

Our second product, BioBrew, is an open source Linux cluster 
distribution that is enhanced for bioinformaticists and life 
scientists.  BioBrew includes all of Rx and contains the NCBI toolkit, 
BLAST, mpiBLAST, HMMER, ClustalW, GROMACS, WISE, and EMBOSS, and also 
will be available free of charge.

Our official launch of these and other products will be this month at 
ClusterWorld, June 24th-26th in San Jose.  I'll be giving a talk on 
BioBrew and we'll have several Rx clusters in the Promicro booth, 
including Xeon, Itanium2, and Opteron platforms. Please drop by if 
you're in the neighborhood and contact me if you'd like a free pass to 
get into the exhibit hall.

Callident and Promicro will be hosting a free online presentation 
entitled "Transforming Life Sciences: The Linux Cluster Revolution”, 
this Thursday, June 12th. All are invited to attend via the web and 
learn more about Callident's cluster software solutions. To register 
for the presentation, please contact Michelle Hagen at Promicro, 
mhagen@promicro.com.
