XS Promises Maintenance Support for Linux Networx Customers Through 2012

XS International, Inc. (XS), headquartered in Atlanta, GA, USA, pledged today to maintain and support Linux Networx (LNXI) clusters and visualization systems through 2012. Linux Networx went out of business in February, and SGI announced the acquisition of some of LNXI’s assets on February 14, 2008. Support contracts were not picked up by SGI. XS will offer support contracts to LNXI customers to extend the life of their systems through 2012.

“While the demise of Linux Networx is certainly bad news to LNXI customers, it also impacts the HPC community,” said Todd Bone, CEO of XS International. “We committed to support IRIX customers when SGI pulled the plug on those systems, and we now make the same commitment to support LNXI customers. We built a solid reputation on serving customers that SGI has left by the wayside, and will continue to do so for LNXI users.”

XS has supported, maintained and sold high performance computing systems since 1990. XS now offers a way for LNXI customers to operate and maintain their current systems to full-production standards, plan the orderly transition of their codes to other platforms, and realize the full value of their LNXI investment. XS is committed to offering LNXI spares and refurbished systems, so customers can continue to maintain their systems on their own and even add to their LNXI clusters. When LNXI customers choose to transition from their current systems, XS offers alternative solutions and will support the transition with migration, professional services, new hardware solutions and even asset recovery on the retired clusters.

XS International, Inc. provides customers with IT services that lower the total cost of ownership. Since 1990, XS has specialized in innovative enterprise and high-end computing solutions, system maintenance and asset recovery services. XS has over 3,300 customers in 65 countries and is headquartered in Atlanta, GA, USA, with offices in the United Kingdom, Argentina, and Brazil.
