With policy-based tiering, data can span between NVMe flash to S3 based object storage in a single namespace, providing cost-effective data management and performance at an exabyte scale. The advanced architecture streamlines data pipelines while delivering ease of use, simplified scaling, and seamless data sharing from edge to cloud. It can dramatically speed up data-driven innovation for complex AI, ML, or DL data pipelines.

Is your storage slowing down your HPC compute cluster?

The Cray ClusterStor E1000 Storage System is purpose-engineered to meet the demanding input/output requirements of supercomputers and HPC clusters in a very efficient way. The E1000 parallel storage solution typically achieves the given HPC storage performance requirements, significantly reducing the number of storage drives. That means HPC users with a fixed budget for the HPC system can spend more of their budget on CPU/GPU compute nodes, accelerating time-to-insight. The E1000 Storage System embeds the open-source parallel file system Lustre to deliver this efficient performance. Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides enterprise-grade customer support in-house for Lustre that scales out (nearly) linearly, without software licensing for the file storage systems per terabyte capacity or per storage drive. This allows customers to reap the benefits of the open-source movement while getting enterprise-grade support.
