To get the most from your computationally-intensive or HPC environment you must intelligently balance high-performance data access with economical long-term data storage. Now, with the Sun Storage and Archive Solution for HPC, you can do both.
HPC Enters The Mainstream
With the advances in clustering technology and increasing computational power, businesses like yours are utilizing HPC resources to get the most from computational-intensive applications.
From automakers using HPC to build safer, more reliable vehicles, to stock brokerages improving trades and increasing profits, HPC can help companies gain competitive advantages - and increase business results.
The Sun Storage and Archive Solution for HPC gives you:
Economic Enhancements: Lower your TCO by 44% over three years compared to disk-only NFS
Open Standards: Leverage open source, published APIs, and industry standard file formats to take advantage of community-driven enhancements and knowledge sharing
Powerful Scalability: Scale capacity, performance, or both as your cluster demands grow
Flexibility and Choice: Avoid one-size-fits-all. Select from a variety of devices to match your need
Is HPC Storage Right for You?
If you depend on a computational-intensive infrastructure to meet objectives, or use technical analysis and engineering at the core of your business, then Sun's HPC solution can help you:
Improve economics and allow more dollars to be spent on computing
Customize your solution around your exact needs
Improving your HPC environment?
If staging, timely availability, or data management are growing problems, or if you are looking to expand or refresh clusters or grids, then Sun's HPC solution can help you:
Sun's Storage and Archive Solution for HPC provides a tiered storage environment combined with the intelligence to ensure that your information is on-hand, on demand.
It utilizes high-performance disk storage for regularly accessed data, bulk disk storage for lower performance needs, and energy-saving tape for long-term storage. Data movement is managed through an automated policy engine Sun StorageTek Storage Archive Manager to ensure data is where it needs to be.
You can choose from three pre-sized configurations based on your compute cluster environment needs.
HPC for Manufacturing
HPC for Energy
