high-performance computing Storage round-up


Explosive data growth has stretched existing storage hardware and IT resources to their limits. Te Boston dataScaler-SDS, powered by


RedHat Storage, is an open soſtware-defined storage solution that delivers a continuous storage platform across physical, virtual, and cloud resources – allowing users to transform their big, semi-structured, and unstructured data from a burden to an asset. It also provides a pre-integrated soſtware-


defined storage solution on high density, high performance storage servers that can be extended and integrated with existing infrastructure – instead of proprietary NAS and object-storage systems. So while capital costs go down, performance and availability stay high. With open technologies and an extensible


architecture, customers can customise Red Hat Storage to their business needs. Tis allows users to deploy innovative storage functions at the speed of their business – not at the speed of proprietary hardware-vendor engineered cycles. www.boston.co.uk


For the past 30 years, Bull has provided integrated storage solutions combining technology-sharing agreements with leading storage product suppliers, and its own R&D. It offers comprehensive advice together with a choice of storage components from tape or disk, management systems and networking tools, through to back-up and recovery systems. Te role of storage has changed over


the years. It is no longer ‘peripheral’ – it’s at the heart of today’s enterprise IT. And it is helping facilitate the transition to the knowledge economy. Bull is seeing the ability to scale storage easily to meet future performance peaks and data demands become a key competitive differentiator. Te recent success of scale-out storage,


enabling users to add resources in line with growth and boost performance, not just volume, has brought this scalability within easier reach. Today, the ability to obtain fast secure access to information across multiple devices and applications is opening up opportunities for users to develop, optimise and exploit new knowledge for commercial


DDN has been delivering storage solutions for data- intensive workflows for more than 15 years. With a product portfolio


that spans block, file, and object, DDN is deployed in big-data environments worldwide, from independent academic research sites to more than two thirds of the Top100 fastest computers on the planet. Storage Fusion Architecture (SFA):


fusing unprecedented IOPS and bandwidth performance with the most efficient capacity management, DDN’s SFA is the proven platform for today’s data intensive applications from hundreds of Terabytes to tens of Petabytes. Web Object Scaler (WOS): high-


performance object storage for large-scale applications, replication and collaborative communities. www.ddn.com


HPC for Innovation WHEN SCIENCE MEETS INDUSTRY


NEW ENERGIES


PRACE SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL CONFERENCE 2014


Combining the PRACE Scientific Conferences and PRACE Industrial Seminars, this conference will bring together experts from academia and industry who will present their advancements in HPC-supported science and engineering.The programme will include keynote speeches, parallel and poster sessions as well as a meeting of the PRACE User Forum.


The PRACE Scientific and Industrial Awards as well as a prize for Best Poster will be presented and we are looking forward to making this event a tradition for the European HPC communities!
