Penguin Computing Unveils Powerful New Solution That Delivers Geographically Dispersed Data at Landmark Speeds While Also Pro...
June 27 2018 - 9:00AM
Penguin Computing, a subsidiary of SMART Global Holdings, Inc.
(NASDAQ:SGH) and leading provider of high performance computing
(HPC), artificial intelligence (AI), enterprise data center and
cloud solutions, today announced the availability of the Accelion™
managed data access platform, a complete managed file transfer and
remote access solution that gives global, cross-functional teams
the ability to work with vast amounts of geographically dispersed
data and do so with greater speed, security, reliability and
accessibility while unifying operations and accelerating
collaboration.
For the first time, Penguin Computing customers have the ability
to work with remote data at landmark speeds and mount remote
storage and treat it as if it were local, even over high latency
network connections. Because data movement is transparent to the
application layer, in many cases the customer may not need to make
any workflow changes between working with local data and working
with remote data. This can result in reduced delays in both
processing time and time-to-insight.
The Accelion managed data access platform was expertly
engineered to meet the needs of global teams in the Media &
Entertainment, Life Sciences, Financial Services, Government,
Energy, Manufacturing and Oil & Gas industries. The solution is
ideal for distributed teams who face pressure to speed
time-to-insight, time-to-decision, and eliminate potentially costly
or lengthy data migration times that impede progress of
data-dependent projects.
“Exponential data growth, changes in how teams access and use
data, as well as ever-increasing pressure to deliver timely
business results is transforming the modern data center,” said
Philip Pokorny, Chief Technology Officer at Penguin Computing. “The
Accelion managed data access platform was designed to remove the
limitations of traditional WAN technologies that impact teams
working with large, geographically dispersed data sets or who need
to ensure backup, business continuity, disaster recovery, and
compliance. We are committed to innovation which is why we’re so
proud to offer this unique solution to our customers.”
Accelion Managed Data Access Platform
Features
- Unprecedented Performance: offering ~95%
bandwidth utilization and near real-time access.
- Landmark Transfer Speed: delivers distributed
data faster than traditional methods (even over high latency
network connections), up to 25x faster when using 100 Gbps
connectivity.
- Simplicity: ease of use and management through
a configurable, web-based multi-site dashboard for administrators,
and graphical client or mount-point access for users.
- Flexibility: offers simple integration into
existing infrastructure (IT, LAN, WAN), and is transport protocol
independent and compatible with various storage systems (supports
industry-standard NFSv3/4 and SMBv3 connectivity, expandable tiered
storage with embedded drives or external iSCSI/FC-attached
storage).
Vertical Use Case Examples Media &
EntertainmentMedia & Entertainment companies face
significant delays in moving content between global teams, have a
limited ability to edit content remotely, and are experiencing
explosive growth in storage requirements (driven by the advent of
4K+, 120 fps, 10-bit color-depth video). To overcome these
challenges and promote near real-time collaboration, the Accelion
managed data access platform provides complete flexibility for
content acquisition, production, archiving and distribution
workflows with the strategic choice to transfer content or access
it in-place. The solution enables richer production capabilities,
including the remote editing of full content immediately, while
removing the limitation of only working with a subset of content.
The Accelion helps M&E companies to monetize archived content
by providing predictable access. The Accelion platform also ensures
that M&E companies avoid data duplication (thus reducing
storage costs) and copy sprawl (protecting IP) by delivering remote
content access securely.
Financial ServicesFinancial Services
organizations are increasingly dependent on data analytics, which
is driving explosive growth in storage needs. Large, often
geographically-dispersed, data sets also introduce huge storage and
network costs as data must be migrated to perform the required
analytics. With the Accelion, Financial Services organizations
benefit from the complete flexibility for content acquisition,
production, archiving and distribution workflows, with the
strategic choice to transfer content or access it in-place.
GovernmentGovernment entities face challenges
sharing data in highly secure ways. Timely access to data is both
mission-critical and difficult. Bandwidth and latency
challenges also exist, as terrestrial and satellite networks are
often insufficient for mission-critical applications. The Accelion
platform provides a common file sharing platform that bridges data
center and tactical environments. With line-speed encryption,
it enables the secure delivery of data. Data manipulation is
not required thus preserving the integrity of source of
authority. The Accelion also optimizes bandwidth utilization
of existing links and across diverse networks (satellite and
terrestrial).
The solution is also highly beneficial for companies in Oil
& Gas, Manufacturing, Energy, Life Sciences, and Weather and
Climate Sciences.
