Panelists: Susan Coghlan, TurboLinux, Richard Ferri, IBM, Brian Finley, VA Linux, Greg Lindahl, HPTi, John-Paul Navarro, Argonne National Laboratory, Lee Ward, Sandia National Laboratory, and Stephen L. Scott, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
(1 hour)

In this panel, we will examine systems administration solutions from a variety of vendors and the approaches of several large cluster managers. Our goal is to understand what systems administration challenges remain for the community of large-scale cluster. Where do large-scale cluster have special problems? What problems have been solved by vendor and open source solutions? What does the future hold?
