CSM is designed to minimize the cost and complexity of managing systems with clusters and partitioned to allow a broad administration and monitoring of the entire environment from a single point of control. CSM provides: 

     * Distribution, installation and updating of software (operating system and applications). 
     * Comprehensive monitoring systems with automated adaptive responses. 
     * Implementation of Distributed commands. 
     * Control of the hardware. 
     * Diagnostic tools. 
     * Administration by the group. 
     * Both a graphical interface as a command-line interface fully scriptable. 


In addition to providing all the key functions for administration and maintenance of distributed systems, CSM is designed to provide the performance required to run in parallel with effective computing environments with clusters. CMS supports homogeneous environments or combination of IBM servers running AIX 5L or Linux. 

Parallel System Support Programs (HPSP) for AIX ® 
HPSP is the predecessor systems management Cluster Systems Management (CSM) and does not support IBM System servers po AIX 5L V5.3. The new deployments MBF clusters must use and will make the transition to CSM without charge of HPSP existing customers who have software maintenance

GPFS is a file system for clusters of high-performance clusters for AIX 5L, Linux and combined that provides users with a shared access to files spanning multiple disk drives. Splitting up individual files into blocks and reading / writing these blocks in parallel across multiple disks, GPFS provides a very high bandwidth, in fact, GPFS has won awards and set world records because of their performance. Also, the multiple channels of data from GPFS can also eliminate single points of failure, which makes GPFS is extremely reliable. Currently GPFS gives power to many of the biggest scientific supercomputers in the world and is increasingly used in commercial applications that require high-speed access to large volumes of data such as digital media, design engineering, business intelligence, financial analysis and geographic information systems. GPFS is based on a model of shared disk; provides a lower overall access to disks that are not directly connected to the nodes of application and uses a distributed protocol to provide data consistency for access from any node
