POGO LINUX ANNOUNCES CLUSTER IN-A-BOX

Pogo Linux Inc., a leading Linux systems vendor based in Redmond, Washington, announced a turnkey Beowulf clustering solution, and other new products.

"Customers turn to Pogo Linux for the most advanced Linux hardware solutions and expertise," said Tim Lee, Pogo Linux CEO. "Enterprise IT customers want higher density, higher performance systems with the stability, power and affordability of open source."

PogoLinux announced a new cluster in-a-box offering that gives customers high performance clustering capability at prices starting at less than $28,000 for 16 nodes.
