THE BRIGHT BLOG

We’re pleased to share news that a recent interview with Bright Computing is now featured on Intel’s podcast series, Conversations in the Cloud.

Earlier this week we announced at ISC that we were part of a co-design partnership with Cray, the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research Ltd (NIWA), and the New Zealand eScience Infrastructure (NeSI), to collaboratively design and build a hybrid HPC and private cloud infrastructure for NeSI and NIWA based on Bright Cluster Manager and Bright OpenStack.

We are thrilled to be heading back to Frankfurt, Germany next month for the much-anticipated International Supercomputing Conference (ISC). From June 16-20, ISC will bring together over 3,500 researchers and commercial users, and 160 exhibitors, where they will collaborate and showcase the latest technology advancements in HPC, AI, big data, and cloud solutions to the high-performance computing (HPC) community.

The Virtual Bright User Group Meetup takes place on Tuesday June 11, 2019, and we encourage all our customers to register to attend. Even if you can’t make the call, please go ahead and register so that you receive a recording.

Nor-Tech, a leading HPC technology integrator and Bright Premier Reseller has recently announced they are now building computers that are optimized with Bright Cluster Manager for Data Science. Bright Cluster Manager for Data Science provides Nor-tech clients with an intuitive management interface, enabling them to administer data science clusters as a single entity, provisioning the hardware, operating system, big data, and deep learning (DL) software from a single interface. The intuitive Bright management interface monitors virtually every aspect of every node reporting any problems it detects in the software or hardware so that administrators can act on any issue impacting data science cluster performance.

On November 7, Bright Computing announced that the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) had selected Bright technology to manage its latest supercomputing environment, and Advanced HPC for the design and implementation.

 Bright Computing is excited to be exhibiting at SC ’17.  This year, the conference is being held November 12 - 17 at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver in booth #937.  During the show, Bright will be showcasing its software solutions which automate the deployment, monitoring and management of HPC, OpenStack, Big Data and Deep Learning environments. This year’s event promises to be better than ever and exhibitors will showcase revolutionary work in high performance computing, networking, storage, and analysis. Bright Computing is excited to be delivering an action-packed schedule throughout SC, with live demos, theater presentations, and more!

You don’t want to miss out on this opportunity speak at SC17! We are inviting customers and partners to speak on the show floor in our booth at the Colorado Convention Center, November 13-16. Bright will have a live Theater within the booth featuring hourly 20-minute presentations from Bright customers and partners. If you’re a Bright customer or partner, this is a perfect opportunity to promote your business and its success, in front of industry peers and potential customers. If you’re a customer, come talk about the cool and unique things you are doing with your Bright-managed environment. If you’re a partner, tell people about your unique Bright-enabled solutions and how Bright’s products are helping you achieve your goals.

Yesterday, I sat in on an interesting session about the HPC market by Intersect360. The talk was led by Addison Snell and Christopher Willard and started with an informal discussion about what the audience would like to see in Addison’s Analyst Cross Fire panel taking place Wednesday, June 21 at 2:45 in the Panorama Room.  People want to know how HPC can support real-time data analytics for vertical applications at the Edge, Deep Learning and AI, and what the future looks like for these markets.

Bright Computing will be exhibiting at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC 2017) being held May 9-11 at the San Jose Convention Center, and we expect it to be an exciting event!
