Innovative HPC storage approach is built to improve productivity and efficiency; Get Results Quickly.
High- performance clusters running technical applications place challenging demands on storage systems. Performance requirements are typically in the multigigabyte-per-second range, with capacity scaling into numerous petabytes. High- performance computing (HPC) applications such as seismic processing, climate modeling, digital design modeling, genomic research, defense, and other data-intensive applications demand the ability to scale storage capacity and performance to exascale levels without sacrificing flexibility or efficiency.
The Solution
- NetApp® FastStak and DenseStak reference configurations were designed with these requirements in mind.
- FastStak is configured to optimize storage performance by delivering industry-leading high bandwidth and high IOPS.
- DenseStak is configured to optimize storage density for maximum capacity in one industry-standard 40U rack while also delivering great performance.
- Together these solutions create an innovative storage approach that can be tailored to address almost any HPC requirement and provide the balance necessary for efficient operation.
- No need to over configure to meet performance or capacity requirements. Run HPC workloads faster, increasing productivity.
