Xmaris is the successor of the maris cluster, renamed with a prefix ''x'' because its nodes deployment is automated using the [[https://www.xcat.org/|xCAT]] software. Less formally, the presence of the ''x'' prefix also suggests the time of the year when xmaris was first made available to IL users, that is Christmas (Xmas). | Xmaris is the successor of the maris cluster, renamed with a prefix ''x'' because its nodes deployment is automated using the [[https://www.xcat.org/|xCAT]] software.
