Standard warranty per component. A. A compute farm is a collection of compute resources, storage, networking equipment, and software that appears to the end user as a single resource. The key is the workload management software that distributes the jobs to various systems in the farm. Each node in the compute farm is an independent system, with its own disk, its own image of Solaris, and its own local swap space. It is not logically one system, but one system is all the end user sees.
