automated network management
We have decided at this point to introduce a product of our employer, IBM, for once.
The General Parallel File System (GPFS) is a shared disk file system that has for many
years been used on cluster computers of type RS/6000 SP (currently IBM eServer Cluster
1600). We believe that this automated network management illustrates the requirements of a shared disk
file system very nicely. The reason for introducing GPFS at this point is quite simply that
it is the shared disk file system that we know best.
