A round-up of the latest storage products and technology available for scientists using HPC as a tool for their research
Panasas has announced an expansion of its 13-year relationship with the University of Minnesota’s Supercomputing Institute (MSI) to supply a new generation of parallel storage systems.
The Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation (SPEC) has released a new version of its storage solution benchmark. The software includes new features for AI and genomics workloads, expanded customisation, better scaling, and statistical visualisation.
Atos has announced it has been awarded a contract by UK Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE) to install new SpectraLogic TFinity Tape Libraries
Robert Roe explores the use of HPC storage technology in off-shore energy exploration
Researchers at the UC San Diego Center for Microbiome Innovation (CMI), have expanded their Panasas high-performance computing (HPC) storage infrastructure with an additional two petabytes (PB) of ActiveStor data storage to support the growing number of I/O-intensive tasks related to COVID-19 research
NetApp has started using a data science platform from Iguazio for real-time machine learning applications
Advances in storage technology enable scientists to accelerate their research
Cray, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, has unveiled its Cray ClusterStor E1000 system, an entirely new parallel storage platform for massively scalable workloads such as AI, analytics, simulation and modelling
With the growth in AI and ML, there is an increasing requirement for an organisation to store and manage large volumes of data. Ceph can support an organisations requirements for AI and ML by providing a rapidly and horizontally scalable system that can support object, block and file storage to manage the growth of their data. Organisations with inferencing workloads for AI and ML are increasingly reliant on tier-2 storage as the demand for this technology increases.
