ScaleMP, a provider of virtualization solutions, has announced that vSMP Foundation Standalone, its patent-pending virtualization software, is now available for the IBM BladeCenter HS21 XM blade server.

In conjunction with IBM BladeCenter H, ScaleMP claims to enable the aggregation of up to 14 dual-processor blades within an integrated chassis to create a single virtual symmetric multiprocessor (SMP). Customers are now able to aggregate up to 112 Intel Xeon processing cores and up to 448GB of shared memory.

ScaleMP's vSMP Foundation Standalone aggregation platform claims to provide large memory resource with up to 1TB of memory. The IBM BladeCenter H offers up to 14 blades in a compact 9U chassis, and comes with an integrated InfiniBand switch, and up to four hot swappable, redundant, load-balancing power supplies.

Shai Fultheim, founder and CEO of ScaleMP, said: "I am pleased to announce the support of vSMP Foundation Standalone for the IBM BladeCenter system, proving once more our solution's flexibility and further enhancing its value to high performance computing customers."
