HPC Storage - A Powerful Storage Solution for High-performance Computing Demands

Given that HPC systems require fast access to comprehensive amounts of data within a short period of time, the question of storage comes to mind. Normal storage systems cannot usually meet these requirements. HPC storage systems, by contrast, are typically designed for this type of use.

Equip your HPC system with a storage solution that offers fast flash memory and a high number of IOPS. HAPPYWARE can provide you with your hardware for your HPC applications.

HPC Storage Systems - The strengths in high-performance computing

Where high-performance clusters are used, storage must be able to keep up. System requirements of several gigabytes per second are common for HPC applications. Through the use of powerful HPC storage solutions, your system will be readied to be able to handle this high demand for data.

• Hardware with a high number of IOPSWith HPC, there is a particular focus on the performance of the hardware. It is optimised in such a way that a significantly higher IOPS value is achieved compared with conventional storage.
• Scalable performance with Converged Network AdaptersThe use of converged network adapters ensures that the data transfer from the storage system to the HPC application itself takes place at adequate speed. Thanks to modern fibre optics technology, high data rates of 10 Gbit/s and more are possible, ensuring that your system is technologically able to meet current and future requirements.
• Flexibility when using HPC storageA custom HPC storage solution is able to be retrofitted - especially from a technical aspect. This results in companies not being tied to a fixed configuration of components. They can receive a finely tuned HPC storage system that is ideally tailored and to gain the highest possible performance.
• Custom-built high performance storage systemsIn our product range you will find GPU servers with heights from 1U to 4U. The graphics cards can be used as co-processors for HPC applications. In this way, you will find the ideal combination of HPC storage availability and high performance computing power.
• Increase the efficiency of your HPC processesHigh-performance computing applications are not only computation-intensive, but also cost-intensive. The efficient utilisation of modern HPC clusters is a fundamental prerequisite to ensure their cost-effective operation. By relying on HPC storage, you ensure that your HPC applications can access the necessary storage resources fully and promptly.

Numerous companies now depend on high-performance HPC cluster configurations that are able to provide both superior computing power and data on demand.

These Big Data applications benefit from HPC storage systems:

• Calculations in seismology (evaluation of seismic waves and more)
• Climate models (calculations and forecasts over both short and long periods of time)
• Research on genomes (evaluation of different genetic constellations/recombinations)
