Ganglia is a scalable distributed monitoring system for high-performance computing systems such as clusters and
Grids. It is based on a hierarchical design targeted at federations of clusters. It leverages widely used technologies such as XML for data representation, XDR for compact, portable data transport, and RRDtool for data
storage and visualization. It uses carefully engineered data structures and algorithms to achieve very low per-node
overheads and high concurrency. The implementation is robust, has been ported to an extensive set of operating
systems and processor architectures, and is currently in use on thousands of clusters around the world. It has been
used to link clusters across university campuses and around the world and can scale to handle clusters with 2000
nodes.

It offers the ability to share the hard disk space of a big server with many smaller clients. Again,this is a client/server environment. While this seems like a standard service to offer, it was not always like this.

In the past, clients and servers were unable to share their disk space.Thin clients have no hard drives and thus need a "virtual" hard-disk. The NFS mount their hard disk from the server and, while the user thinks they are saving their documents to their local (thin client) disk, they are in fact saving them to the server. In a thin client environment, the root, usr and home partitions are all offered to the client from the server via NFS.

In Ubuntu 5.10 (Wily Werewolf), starting with systemd/udev will automatically assign predictable, stable network
interface names for all local Ethernet, Wlan and Wwan interfaces.
