High Performance Computing (HPC)

In today’s competitive business landscape, enterprises transition to High Performance Computing (HPC) leveraging advanced computing technologies to perform complex computational tasks at a large scale. This helps to resolve complex problems in significantly shorter time than traditional computing methods. Infortrend's storage solutions are specially optimized for intensive HPC workloads. Our versatile products, including EonStor GS U.2 NVMe hybrid flash storage and EonStor GS SAS HDD storage, can efficiently handle simultaneous requests from multiple servers and store the analyzed data. With a focus on performance, capacity, and cost-effectiveness, our solutions provide timely HPC results, giving you a competitive edge.

A suitable storage solution helps to overcome the common challenges presented by HPC, such as:

• Poor storage performance, downtime, or data loss, causing delays in data analysis and slowed down innovations
• Insufficient capacity to store both raw and analyzed data, which can reach massive sizes ranging from terabytes to petabytes
• Complicated and time-consuming storage management, resulting in reduced productivity

Faster HPC Outcomes to Drive Insights and Innovations

Our storage solutions are ideal choice for HPC applications, as they support high-speed NVMe SSD, 100/200GbE RDMA, delivering high performance and reduced latency.

Designed for extremely intensive HPC workloads, EonStor GS U.2 hybrid flash series delivers up to 1.3M IOPS at an exceptionally low latency of 300 microseconds and 50GB/s in throughput, helping to drive faster HPC outcomes.

PB-Level Capacity for Massive Amounts of Analyzed Data

A single GS appliance in 4U 90-bay design can provide 1.5PB of usable storage capacity. When connected to JBOD expansion enclosure, one GS can hold over 800 drives. The system can be scaled out with 4 GS appliances and accommodate more than 3000 drives, providing up to 70PB of capacity to store raw and analyzed data.

Uninterrupted Data Analysis

With high-availability storage featuring redundant and hot-swappable controller design, our storage solutions ensure continuous operations even in the event of a controller failure, minimizing the risk of analysis interruptions.

Work Seamlessly with HPC File Systems

Our storage solutions integrate with industry-leading HPC file systems, such as Lustre, BeeGFS, GPFS, and StorNext, meeting their strict requirements for reliable high-performance storage and enabling efficient parallel processing of large data sets by multiple servers.

Optimized Storage Efficiency

Storage auto-tiering function automatically allocates currently running projects on the high-performance SSD tier, while moving finished projects to the less expensive HDD tier, which allows enterprises to avoid wasting expensive storage resources on data that doesn't require it.

To accelerate access to applications and files from ongoing HPC workflows, our storage solutions offer SSD cache, acting as cache to HDDs.

Data Protection

With RAID on drives, your projects are protected from data loss. Intelligent SSD management allows for prolonging their lifespan and prevents multiple SSD failure. A built-in supercapacitor provides power to write data to drives during power outage.

These features ensure data integrity, prevent errors, and guarantee that your files remain secure and accessible over time.
