with Seagate’s ClusterStor Architecture to Simplify Enterprise Data
Management and Sharing
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) today introduced the
Seagate ClusterStor™ G200 Spectrum Scale, high performance
computing (HPC)-class storage solution to help data-driven
enterprises manage massive storage growth. The G200 integrates with
Seagate’s new 3.5-inch ClusterStor HPC drive specifically designed
for the HPC market, highlighting the company’s commitment to
industry-leading HPC storage solutions.
The explosion of data is affecting all facets of how
organizations do business — and straining IT operations. As the
first Seagate ClusterStor system supporting the popular IBM
Spectrum Scale™ file system (formerly known as General Parallel
File System - GPFS), the G200 features a wide range of
enterprise-class features and tools ideal for helping manage this
data growth. It also enables high-performance data access critical
to industries ranging from life sciences, to automotive and
aerospace design, to financial services among a wide range of
technical computing applications.
“HPC storage is no longer limited to just academia or to defense
and intelligence applications, as a growing number of industries
are grappling with how to manage massive amounts of data previously
found in only those traditional HPC areas. The needs of these
data-driven enterprises are different, however. They need a way to
easily manage workflows and data access without interruption,” said
Ken Claffey, vice president and general manager, Seagate HPC
systems business. “Seagate’s G200 builds on the proven ClusterStor
architecture to provide purpose-built solutions specifically
engineered for applications where efficient and scalable workflows
are critical for accelerating their time to results.”
Leveraging the award-winning ClusterStor engineered storage
architecture, the G200 has been custom-designed from the ground up
for HPC, with everything from disk drives to the enclosures and
software tuned for HPC performance and scalability. The G200
storage system unit is delivered with 84 slots for 3.5-inch HDD and
SSD in a 5U enclosure with embedded storage controllers. The G200
and the L300 – Seagate’s new Lustre®-based system – are the first
enterprise HPC systems to deploy Seagate’s new ClusterStor HPC
Drive. The 3.5-inch drive supports up to 4 terabytes (TB) and
features a sequential data rate of 300 megabytes (MB) per second,
and 35 percent faster random performance than any other 3.5-inch
drive, making it ideal for the broadest range of data ingest and
access needs of HPC applications.
The system comes pre-configured, tested and ready to deploy, so
organizations can quickly have it up and running in hours to
maximize productivity. In addition, users benefit from
ClusterStor’s reduced footprint, compared to traditional external
file-serving nodes, which helps lower power, cooling and
administrative costs without compromising performance. And
ClusterStor for IBM Spectrum Scale continues to utilize Grid RAID,
Seagate’s declustered RAID feature addition that delivers rebuild
times up to 400 percent faster than legacy RAID systems.
Atos, through its Extreme Computing Business Unit, has worked in
close partnership with Seagate to harness the performance and
reliability of the new G200 ClusterStor solution. “We’re currently
stressing Seagate’s new GPFS-based appliance at the Atos factory in
Angers, France, and are pleased by what we’re seeing,” said Pascal
Barbolosi, vice president & GM Extreme Computing, Atos. “With a
long track record of mission-critical GPFS-based deployments and
support, Atos Extreme Computing BU is excited to extend its support
to Seagate’s new range of GPFS-based ClusterStor appliances.” “We
believe Seagate’s G200 appliance will help our HPC customers solve
their most data intensive workloads and data hierarchy issues in a
comprehensive, yet simpler way,” said Eric Eppe, director of
storage & data management product line extreme computing,
Atos.
“Dell is committed to providing the right system optimization
capabilities to the HPC community, and Seagate’s ClusterStor
G200 for IBM Spectrum Scale is a valuable complement to our
HPC portfolio,” said Onur Celebioglu, director, HPC solutions
engineering, Dell. “Building on our longstanding partnership
with Seagate, G200 will help us meet the specific needs of an
important and growing part of the HPC market, where
data-intensive workloads require the right solution and
support.”
The ClusterStor family is built on Seagate’s field-proven
enterprise-class storage architecture, Lustre, and now IBM Spectrum
Scale. Combining superior performance with ultra-efficient
scalability, the ClusterStor family includes ClusterStor L300,
ClusterStor A200, ClusterStor G200, ClusterStor 9000, ClusterStor
1500, and the ClusterStor Secure Data Appliance.
Seagate ClusterStor G200 for IBM Spectrum Scale will be
available in calendar Q1 2016. Learn more at Seagate’s booth 568 at
the Supercomputing 2015 show November 16-19 in Austin, Texas.
