High-Performance, Cost-Effectve Technology Enabling Advanced Simulation
 The race to build faster, larger and simpler cluster storage architectures can often be run at the expense of long-term sustained system I/O capability, where improperly designed storage implementations lead to imbalanced cluster performance and data centers challenged with storage scalability issues and sub-optimal system duty cycles. When building a new supercomputer or refreshinging enterprise storage sytems, DataDirect Networks can help you eliminate storage as the bottleneck to accellerating your compute environment.
Having deployed several systems which provide over 100GB/s of High Performance Computing (HPC) storage performance, DataDirect Networks provides the answer to HPC storage performance and capacity scaling with the S2A9900 StorageScaler. As the leader in high-end storage for advanced simulation data processing, DataDirect Networks storage is the technology of choice for supercomputing environments because:
- S2A Storage Technology enables applications to spend less time waiting for I/O operations, and more time computing.
- S2A SATAssure Plus Technology includes data safeguards that enable cost-effective SATA disk drive technology without compromising data quality or delivery performance
- File systems leverage the S2A's performance scalability to deliver higher, sustained performance levels across clustered storage architectures
- S2A's price/performance frees up system budgets to buy additional compute resources
Additionally, the rapid growth of simulation data in the High Performance Computing environment requires scalable, cost-effective storage solutions to backup and archive scientific data. The DataDirect Networks' S2A is available with high-density SATA technology to deliver industry leading storage density and space optimization while increasing backup and archive application performance.
