When Ordinary Storage Isn't Enough
Leading Performance and Scalability
The Sun Lustre Storage System eliminates I/O bottlenecks and provides very high rates of I/O bandwidth, scaling, and capacity. By distributing files across a cluster of servers and storage, the Sun Lustre Storage System achieves file system performance far exceeding ordinary storage devices.
Simple, Flexible, and Available
The Sun Lustre Storage System consists of pre-defined modules that simplify architecting and deploying a system. Sun has selected and tested the Sun Fire servers, and Open Storage platforms that deliver the best performance at the most economical price point available for a Lustre deployment.
Breakthrough Economics by Leveraging Open Standards
By rejecting proprietary storage architectures in favor of open storage products you can realize benefits of a non-proprietary, high performance environment — coupled with considerable cost savings. The Sun Lustre Storage System, built from economical, industry standard components, uses published APIs, interfaces, and open-source code, enabling you to get more for less.
