ROCKS+ Integrated and ROCKS+MOAB
Hyperform Rocks+ Integrated clusters combine Silicon Mechanics hardware expertise with Clustercorp's Rocks+Support and Rocks+Rolls to provide turnkey HPC Clusters that are easy to manage with complete commercial support and integrated third-party applications.
Rocks is a complete Linux distribution designed specifically for HPC Clusters. It has become the premier solution for managing clusters in research and commercial environments. In the past few years, Rocks has won numerous HPCwire awards, including Most Important Software Innovation, Most Innovative Software, and Most Significant New HPC Product. It is clear that making stable and manageable parallel computing platforms available to a wide range of scientists will aid immensely in improving the state of the art in parallel tools.

Clustercorp's Rocks+ provides two critical components necessary for deploying Rocks as a commercial offering:
-
Rocks+ support addresses the biggest problem in using an open-source solution such as Rocks: the "support gap". A complex, high-value deployment such as an HPC Cluster frequently requires the formal backing of an experienced support team. Clustercorp was founded by the core members of the Rocks community for this exact purpose.
-
A Rocks+Roll is an add-on package for a cluster that has been built into the Rocks distribution. Installation is often the most difficult job a for system administrator or cluster architect when getting a new cluster ready for a production environment. Rocks uses a powerful paradigm called "Rolls", which makes this process as simple as inserting a CD and clicking a checkbox.
Rocks+Rolls currently includes the MOAB Roll, PGI Roll, Cisco Topspin Roll, and Panasas Roll. Applications are continually being added to the stack based on customer demand. Clustercorp also supports the installation of open source Rolls including Sun Grid Engine (SGE) and PBS/Torque.
