Extreme Performance & Scale, New Technologies and Open Source
Researchers are the most demanding user community in HPC. To boost research productivity, advanced high-performance sites are moving to centralized storage models. A centralized storage approach allows them to provide data access speeds to feed more concurrent projects at higher data rates, incorporate best- of-breed open source and new technology wherever possible, and improve cost-effectiveness and management overhead. A primary requirement when building a centralized storage infrastructure is the ability to grow and support site- wide data needs, even over multiple clusters or generations of clusters.
