| No extra packages are required. |
| No code changes to your application are
required. |
| Simple to install/configure. |
| On a Red-Hat based system/distro, installing openMosix
is as simple as typing: # rpm -Uvh openMosix*.rpm |
| DSM is being released soon (late march
2003). |
| Well integrated with openAFS. |
| Port to IA-64 as well as AMD-64 is
underway. |
| oMFS has been improved much since plain
MFS. |
| It is a clustering platform with more than 10 products
based on it: openMosixView, openMosixWebView, openMosixApplet,
RxLinux, PlumpOS, K12LTSP, LTSP and many others. |
| openMosix is a product developed by the users themselves
so it's more close to the user by definition. |
| Node autodiscovery/fail-over daemon already implemented
in the user land tools via multicast messaging. |
| Aliases for hosts with multiple
interfaces. |
| Basic routing available (in the rare case where true
multicast routing is undesirable). |
| Cluster Mask allows to specify to which nodes
a given process can migrate. |
