ClusterStor® 300N Accommodates Mixed Workloads
Up to 1,000 Percent Faster Than Traditional Systems
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX) today introduced the
ClusterStor® 300N storage system with Nytro® Intelligent I/O
Manager, the newest addition to its family of scale-out storage
systems for high-performance computing (HPC) and the first with a
flash cache accelerator.
Powered by the software-based Nytro Intelligent I/O Manager, the
ClusterStor 300N seamlessly runs multiple mixed workloads
simultaneously on the same storage platform, eliminating
performance bottlenecks that can result when data demands outpace
what the existing storage architecture can accommodate. As a
result, organizations can use it to automatically support multiple
applications that generate a diverse range of I/O workloads on the
same storage platform without negatively impacting performance.
It’s particularly suitable for the kinds of mixed and unpredictable
workloads found in many of today’s most demanding, data-intensive
HPC applications like seismic processing, financial transition
modeling, machine learning, geospatial intelligence and fluid
dynamics.
Ideal for organizations seeking both peak performance and cost
efficiency when managing large data sets at scale with
unpredictable workloads, the ClusterStor 300N represents the
convergence of Seagate’s market leading enterprise class hard
drives, innovative solid state designs and the industry’s most
sophisticated system software within a platform purpose built to
help organizations manage and move massive amounts of critical data
while maintaining workload efficiency and minimizing the cost per
terabyte. The Nytro Intelligent I/O Manager software delivers up to
1,000 percent input/output workload acceleration over traditional
HPC storage systems and can quickly scale to accommodate any
workload at any time.
“Maximizing value of data in the kinds of extraordinary
environments represented by supercomputing is all about being able
to handle extreme, unpredictable storage bandwidth and capacity
needs at scale,” said Ken Claffey, vice president and general
manager, Seagate HPC systems business. “Seagate’s ClusterStor 300N
expands on our proven, engineered systems approach that delivers
performance efficiency and value for HPC environments of any size,
using a hybrid technology architecture to handle tough workloads at
a fraction of the cost of all-flash approaches.”
The ClusterStor 300N is architected specifically as a common
platform for both the ClusterStor, Lustre® and IBM Spectrum Scale™
storage systems as the L300N and G300N, respectively.
“With a long track record of mission-critical HPC deployments
and support, Atos Extreme Computing is excited to extend its
support to Seagate’s new range of Nytro Intelligent I/O
Manager-based ClusterStor appliances,” said Eric Eppe, head of
products and solutions, Extreme Computing, Atos. “We believe
Seagate’s 300N appliance will help our HPC customers solve their
most data intensive workloads and data hierarchy issues in a
comprehensive, yet more efficient way.”
“The 300N offers the density, extreme bandwidth, low latency and
simplified manageability that our customers demand in their HPC
storage environments today,” said Mike Vildibill, vice president,
HPC Storage, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “New storage innovations
like the ClusterStor 300N are critical for answering these demands
and maintaining a high level of performance across a wide range of
workloads.”
The 300N will be widely available in January 2017. Learn more at
Seagate’s booth #1209 at the Supercomputing 2016 conference in Salt
Lake City, Utah, Nov. 14-17. Other Seagate technology
demonstrations at the event will include the highest density 720
terabyte, two-rack unit (RU) Lustre storage system technology
configuration, making it possible to build the world's first 15
petabyte, 42RU system, as well as a single NVMe over a Fabric,
24-drive all flash array shared storage system delivering 4.8
million IOPS with single-digit microsecond latency.
The ClusterStor family architecture is built on Seagate’s
field-proven, enterprise-class hard drives and high-performance
parallel file systems such as Lustre and IBM Spectrum Scale.
Combining superior performance with ultra-efficient scalability,
the ClusterStor family includes the new ClusterStor L300N and
G300N, as well as the ClusterStor A200 Active Archive, ClusterStor
L300, ClusterStor G200, ClusterStor 9000, ClusterStor 1500,
ClusterStor Secure Data Appliance and Hadoop Workflow Accelerator
for ClusterStor’s architecture.
