HPE Data Management Framework 7
Are your High Performance Compute (HPC) and AI environments struggling with file management?
HPE Data Management Framework 7 (DMF7) delivers centralized data management across HPC and AI storage systems and protects scalable, parallel file systems like Lustre and Spectrum Scale. Namespace reflection is used to create an independent snapshot of file system state, allowing you to recover file systems in a known good state. This system maintains file versions, allowing users to recover files from previous successful job runs.
HPE DMF7 automates data movement between tiers in a storage hierarchy, e.g. between flash and disk. Administrators and users can also use HPE DMF7 to move files between file systems, e.g. when files must be moved from storage that is being retired. HPE DMF7 improves utilization of expensive, high performance storage by automatically moving files to lower cost storage tiers, creating a virtual storage space that appears to scale beyond the physical capacity.

What's New
- A scalable database. The data base is distributed across nodes for higher system availability, is scalable to billions of files, and delivers high performance for queries.
- Namespace reflection. Maintain a reflection of managed file systems and use it for data management operations instead of compromising the performance of the file system metadata servers.
- Support for extensible metadata. Administrators can use metadata to customize queries, use extensible metadata for policy management and create personalized data sets from associated files.
- Data curation. Users can stage their files into an independent back end data base for long term curation. Later, users can locate and recall their files to an entirely different file system.
- Query engine. Administrators, users, and the built-in policy management engine all use a common query tool to locate files and filter the results.
- Native file system integration. Native integration uses the standard tool set for Lustre and Spectrum Scale to increase utilization and automate data management operations.
HPE Data Management Framework 7 creates immutable versions of files and takes snapshots of the namespace reflection. Managed via an administrator policy, recovery can be customized for lowest RTO from disk, lowest cost from tape, and/or from remote locations via S3/cloud.

Even when a file system has tools for repairing, the complexity and time it takes to repair a broken file system can extend the compute outage beyond acceptable SLAs.","Up to now, protecting file systems and data has been a costly investment with imposing drawbacks, including the lack of backup windows, backup utilities that are sub-optimized, optimized for PB-sized parallel file systems, and the negative impact upon performance from scanning file system metadata."]}
