Sun Unified Storage Solutions for HPC utilize Solaris ZFS, DTrace Analytics, and the Hybrid Storage Pool to deliver high-performance, file-based throughput for your most demanding, compute-intensive, MCAE and High-Performance Trading applications.


Real-Time Visibility
The Sun Unified Storage Solutions for HPC simplify storage administration and management with easy-to-use graphical tools and analytics that provide real-time visibility to analyze and optimize your storage. The simplified dashboard provides at-a-glance status of the overall system in real time. Storage analytics helps you understand system performance, facilitate capacity planning, and troubleshoot storage and network issues. Learn More
Maximum Performance
Need more throughput? The Hybrid Storage Pool is a new tiered storage paradigm that combines DRAM, solid-state drives (SSDs), and hard-disk drives (HDDs) into a seamless storage architecture. Solaris ZFS optimizes access to different media types, reducing latency. The hybrid architecture dramatically reduces bottlenecks and provides breakthrough speed, making the solutions ideal for highly parallel HPC applications. Enterprise SSDs provide tens of thousands of IOPs, compared to hundreds of IOPs for hard disk drives, and can vastly improve I/O performance compared to mechanical disk drives. Learn More
Breakthrough Economics
Costly proprietary solutions lock you in and limit your ability to scale your infrastructure or adapt to changing business needs. The Sun Unified Storage Solutions for HPC combine open-source software with industry-standard hardware, enabling you to reduce your reliance on high-priced systems and to save up to 90% on storage costs. Plus, SSDs dramatically increase performance while cutting power consumption by up to 80% compared to spinning disks. Just what you need to reduce space and energy costs and improve scalability.
