Red Hat Enterprise MRG 1.1 is Released

I'm pleased to announce that we released Red Hat Enterprise MRG 1.1 today.  This is a significant release that adds many new capabilities and performance enhancements.  It also introduces formal support around
the Grid component and entire MRG platform for the first time (Grid was Technology Preview in v1.0).  Some of the highlights of MRG 1.1 include:

• Messaging
• Native infiniband and RDMA driver for dramatically better
  latency
• Active/Active Clustering
• Enhanced security
• Queue semantics like Last Value Queue and Ring Queue
• Native .NET client
• Improved management tools
• Increased performance
• Realtime
• Improved performance, especially on boxes with higher CPU-counts
• Improved performance tools. For example, Tuna now has the ability to write tunings to an init script once you've found an optimal tuning for your system
• Grid
• New GUI management tools
• Low latency scheduling via MRG's messaging bus
  
• Amazon EC2 support for adding capacity on-the-fly in the cloud
• Concurrency limits on any scarce resource like software licenses or database handles
• Dynamic provisioning, which enables you to mark slots as partitionable and sub-divide them dynamically so that more than one job can occupy a slot at once
