HPC Storage Systems - Highest Performance for HPC Environment
To enable several high-performance computers to process and store data simultaneously, a HPC storage system is required that supports these computing processes at the necessary speed. If the storage system cannot provide or process the data at short notice, applications or write processes are slowed down and the efficiency of the system decreases.
Use HPC storage systems from HAPPYWARE to guarantee the best possible performance for your HPC environment and to carry out all I/O processes at maximum speed. Learn more about the available solutions from HAPPYWARE

What are the benefits of HPC Storage?
HPC storage systems are designed for HPC Environments to store even large amounts of data in parallel on different storage servers and to enable other clients to simultaneously access this data.
The file or file system works across the board and is active concurrently on several servers. This ensures that all relevant data stored there is available redundantly and that the HPC storage system is fully functional even if a single storage server fails.
HPC Storage Systems - Common Architectures
HPC Storage with Lustre
Lustre is a parallel and distributed file system funded by the non-profit organizations OpenSFS and EOFS. It is very often used in large high-performance computing clusters.
This offers a HPC storage system with Lustre architecture:
- Required Lustre client software for each client
- Support for 100 - 100,000 individual clients
- I/O throughput of several hundred gigabytes per second
- Data access via block access
- Object-based memory architecture
- Ethernet or Infiniband network support
- Communication Between Client and Object Storage Servers (OSS) Secured by Checksum
- Active/active failover data protection with multiple mount protection (MMP) / especially important for data integrity in a HA system
HPC Storage with GlusterFS
GlusterFS is a scalable and distributed file system that bundles all its own storage resources compactly in a global namespace. It is currently operated by Red Hat.
This offers a HPC storage system with GlusterFS architecture:
- Modular structure of the system
- Infiniband and TCP network support
- Possibility of retrofitting functions
- I/O throughput of a few gigabytes per second
- Possibility to set up different RAID levels
- High fault tolerance due to the wide storage network
- Bundling of storage resources within logical volumes
HPC Storage with BeeGFS
BeeGFS is an open-source architecture with a distributed file system. The system is specially optimized for use in HPC environments and is appreciated for its flexible application possibilities.
This offers a HPC storage system with BeeGFS architecture:
- Easy scalability of the system
- Compatibility with all Linux systems
- Work with storage and metadata servers
- Increase data throughput by integrating additional storage servers
- Support for Infiniband, Omni-Path, RoCE and TCP as a network
- System expandability possible during operation
- Hardware-independent, so also combinable with different hardware architectures (Intel/AMD x86_64/ARM/OpenPOWER)
- Support of graphical interfaces for performance analysis
- Failover functionality for increased data security
