With this in mind, Dell announced new additions to their new HPC product line. These devices will not only provide enterprises with much-needed additional space, they will also operate at a much swifter pace.
“While traditional HPC has been critical to research programs that enable scientific and societal advancement, Dell is mainstreaming these capabilities to support enterprises of all sizes as they seek a competitive advantage in an ever-increasing digital world,” Jim Ganthier, vice president and general manager, Dell Engineered Systems, Cloud and HPC said in a release.
The HPC Network File System (NFS), which helps to address the storage needs of HPC clusters, will feature two new products: the Dell PowerVault MD3060e and MD3460.
The MD3460 is an RBOD that provides shared RAID storage for up to two NFS gateway servers. Equipped with two controller modules, the MD3460 features Near-line SAS60 drives of 1-4 TB each and 12 Gbps SAS connections which allow for quicker transfer rates.
The MD3060e is a 4U, 60-drive enclosure expansion box that serves as a companion to the MD3460. Used primarily as an EBOD, it expands the MD3460’s capacity through 60 Near-line SAS disks featuring 1-44 TB of storage space. Both devices can be integrated into any HPC-reliant environment, or added on as a complement to existing systems.
“Dell now offers customers highly flexible, precision-built HPC systems for multiple vertical industries based upon years of experience powering the world’s most advanced academic and research institutions,” said Ganthier. “With Dell HPC Systems, our customers can deploy HPC systems more quickly and cost effectively and accelerate their speed of innovation to deliver both breakthroughs and business results.”
