High-Performance Storage for Product Development Applications

To meet demanding development deadlines in the face of growing product data sets, high-end computer aided design, analysis, and simulation requires high-performance storage. Additionally, compliance regulations are becoming increasingly intense, requiring development data to be stored on-line longer than ever. Storage managers are challenged to satisfy both performance and capacity requirements within an economical cost envelope.

The S2A Storage System is an ideal platform for organizations looking to scale their product simulation capabilities and accelerate development timeframes.

Storage Managers today are selecting S2A technology for a variety of product development applications, including:

  • Computer Automated Design (CAD)
  • Computer Automated Engineering (CAE)
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
  • Electronic Design Automation (EDA)
  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
  • Information Lifecycle and Compliance Management
  • Product Development Data Archive and Backup
