In my opinion, the best openSSI can help here is by offering CFS
(Clustered file system). That way, your data is accessible regardless
in which node (computer) it runs. As you said, you already run Oracle
Grid Engine, so I guess you already have good foundation to form the
grid.

OpenSSI can indeed does process migration, but not thread migration.
But in most cases, process aren't migrated to maximize locality.
