Editing OpenSSI (section)

==Description==
OpenSSI allows a cluster of individual computers (''nodes'') to be treated as one large system.  Processes run on any node have full access to the resources of all nodes.  Processes can be migrated from node to node automatically to balance system utilization.  Inbound network connections can be directed to the least loaded node available.

OpenSSI is designed to be used for both [[High-performance computing|high performance]] and [[high availability]] clusters. It is possible to create an OpenSSI cluster with no [[single point of failure]], for example the file system can be mirrored between two nodes, so if one node crashes the process accessing the file will ''fail over'' to the other node.  Alternatively the cluster can be designed in such a manner that every node has direct access to the file system.
