For Storage That Goes Beyond the Usual Needs

Diagram

The unique Dell | Terascala HPC Storage solution provides high-throughput storage based on the Lustre® file system.

Our approach offers:

  • Performance of up to 1.45 GB/sec per base object solution, delivering the performance necessary to get maximum utilization from your high-performance computing (HPC) infrastructure
  • Redundant metadata solution that ensures high availability of all metadata through an active-passive architecture and storage array configured as RAID 10
  • Scalability designed for installations from 30 to 180 TB, with the storage delivered as a fully configured, ready-to-go solution, and available with full hardware and software support
  • Improved combination of performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness through the power of the Dell PowerVault™ MD3000 storage array

Key Features

  • Procurement and deployment simplicity — fully bundled, configured and tested solution from Dell (on-site installation, configuration and customer training help minimize deployment time)
  • High data throughput —up to 1.45 GB/sec of throughput per base object solution (by pairing identical configurations, both capacity and throughput are doubled in a supported manner)
  • Choice of configurations and ease of scalability —available configurations—from a minimum of 30 TB to a maximum of 180 TB— to suit specific customer needs (easily add throughput or capacity by adding more nodes without impacting the existing environment)
  • Advanced management and monitoring —simplified end-to-end management and monitoring of the entire storage system with easy to use graphical user interface (GUI)
  • High availability metadata —active-passive metadata architecture and RAID 10 configuration tuned for performance and reliability
  • High availability object servers —active-active server architecture that ensures data availability
  • High availability storage—integrated RAID controllers on Dell PowerVault MD3000s with hot-swappable disk drives and redundant power supplies that enhance storage availability
  • Superior customer support— single point of contact for all support issues (the solution is fully supported by experienced Dell customer support professionals) 

Who should be Interested?

The Dell | Terascala HPC Storage solution is designed for researchers, universities and departmental HPC users who are looking to deploy a fully supported high-performance and cost-effective parallel file system storage solution.
