Platform Open Cluster Stack (OCS) 5 is the first commercial software system used to create certified Intel® Cluster Ready systems that enable the consistent delivery of scale-out application clusters. Intel selected Platform OCS 5 to create the first certified reference platforms.

Intel Cluster Ready represents the next significant milestone and proof-point for the Platform OCS 5 family to enable the delivery of open clusters that are tested and delivered to Intel cluster level specification.

Platform OCS 5 complies to the Intel Cluster Ready Specification, and together with other hardware and software components, forms a reference implementation for Linux® cluster application, deployment and management delivering a complete Intel Cluster Certified solution.

The first commercial software system used to create certified Intel Cluster Ready systems, Platform OCS 5 delivers:

• Intel certified reference implementation that greatly reduces overall cost and maintenance assuring scalability and stability as the cluster grows
• Time to market advantage for hardware vendors
• Peace of mind for end-users using off-the-shelf High Performance Computing (HPC) software applications
• Rapidly accelerates a broader set of hardware support tested and delivered to Intel cluster level specification for ISVs
• Simplifies Linux® cluster application, deployment and management by providing pre-configured, compatible clusters
