By: Bright Computing Big Data Using your choice of leading Hadoop distributions, Bright Cluster Manager provisions, monitors and manages Hadoop clusters. It employs Bright roles to make it easy to configure Hadoop services such as HBase, YARN and ZooKeeper. Bright collects metrics and performs healthchecks for Hadoop that target HDFS, JVM, job and network activity. Bright integrates with MapReduce and YARN to manage Big Data workloads efficiently, and ensures high availability of vital Hadoop services. Private Cloud Bright Cluster Manager provisions, monitors and manages OpenStack private clouds. Bright bundles OpenStack, installs it, and uses Bright roles to configure OpenStack. Bright collects metrics and performs healthchecks that target individual OpenStack tenants (e.g., various quotas) as well as the cloud as a whole. Bright bundles, installs, configures, monitors and manages Ceph for object and block storage, and will use Open vSwitch for OpenStack networking services. Bright can boot OpenStack virtual machines and manage them as if they were physical nodes, and manages the software images they use. Bright makes vital OpenStack services highly available. More New Features Revision Control for Images -- Bright Cluster Manager now has a revision-control feature for the software images used in provisioning clusters and clouds. It uses btrfs snapshotting or cloning. Cloud Utilization -- Bright works with storage services native to Amazon Web Services (S3 and Glacier). Bright instantiates compute resources in the cloud only when data is actually ready for use by applications. It also automatically starts and stops nodes in the cloud based on workload in the queuing system. Cisco UCS -- Bright Cluster Manager has full support for Cisco UCS servers, and takes full benefit from the integrated Unified Computing System (UCS) technology. Bright manages bare-metal BIOS settings and multi-node firmware upgrades, out-of-band services (e.g., power) and integrates directly with the Cisco Integrated Management Controller (CIMC) to configure network, identity and other services. Finally, Bright samples a multitude of metrics and incorporates various health checks specific to Cisco UCS rack servers. Next-gen Bright Cluster Manager will be demonstrated live in Bright Computing booth #1725 November 18-21 at SC13 in Denver, Colorado.
