latency and higher bandwidth. A cluster LAN is also configured to separate the system
management traffic from application message passing and file serving traffics.
Management Software and Head Node
The ability to manage and use a cluster as easily as a single compute system is critical to the
success of any cluster solution. To facilitate ease of use for both system administrators and
end-users, HP has created a software package called ClusterPack. The ClusterPack cluster
can be managed and used just as easily as a single server platform.
The ClusterPack is an integrated solution that offers the following key features:

The ClusterPack integrates HP's enterprise system management solution, HP System Insight
Manager (HP SIM), and Platform Computing's Clusterware. HP SIM has been widely used
in large-scale data centers for managing hundreds of HP systems through a single point of
control. Its multi-system management capabilities, such as group operations and role-based
management, enable customers to achieve optimal IT resource efficiency. Platform
Computing's Clusterware is based on the industry distributed resource management solution,
Load Sharing Facility (LSF), and is specially designed for cluster management and ease-of-
use for both system administrators and end-users. ClusterPack is available on HP-UX 11i
