ABSTRACT:

Today faster more dense HPC systems require a much faster data I/O storage systems. These systems must be easy to maintain and simple to upgrade. To meet the requirement of the HPC community these storage systems must be highly cost effective. The presentation will focus on these problems and the practical solutions for meeting these challenges.   

StorageWorks Enterprise NAS division’s Enterprise File Services, provides superior performance, linear scalability and mission critical availability over all other clustered files system solutions making it perfect for the HPC market.  With demonstrable performance of over 3 GB’s per second in a 16 node cluster, the NAS solution has differentiated itself as a market leader.  Incremental scalability – grow as you need to with capacity and performance independent of each other.  Add storage on the fly as well as performance nodes without interruption.  Drive high storage utilization while providing superior operational efficiency through unified backups.
