First, Bright significantly eases the management of Hadoop clusters. Starting from bare metal, and in a manner that is completely compatible with the most-popular Hadoop distributions, Bright provisions, monitors and manages Hadoop clusters. Second, Bright seamlessly integrates the management of Hadoop clusters alongside HPC clusters in a single, unified management context, while preserving distinguishing characteristics of resources (e.g., a Hadoop name or data node) through Hadoop-specific roles. Third, Bright allows IT resources available from the cloud to be seamlessly incorporated for use in HPC, Big Data or hybrid utilization scenarios. In summary, Bright Cluster Manager delivers a threefold advantage to those who seek to make efficient and effective use of the their IT resources for HPC and Big Data.
