BCM Cluster Extension Cloudbursting

In weather, a cloudburst is used to convey the idea that a sudden flood of cloud contents takes place. In cluster computing, the term cloudbursting conveys the idea that a flood of extra cluster capacity is made available when needed from a cloud computing services provider such as Azure. Bright Cluster Manager cluster extension allows administrators to scale their cluster quickly and seamlessly to Azure by making additional nodes available from within Azure.

This offer

This image is not intended to be used by itself, it instead requires an existing Bright Cluster Manager cluster. If you don't have an existing Bright Cluster, you will need to contact Bright Computing at sales@brightcomputing.com. This offer is used as the source for nodes to provision and perform cluster extension cloudbursting of a Bright Cluster Manager to Azure.
