Business Wire
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, announced today it is sponsoring the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) High Performance
Extreme Computing Conference (HPEC ’15). MIT Lincoln Laboratory,
under the leadership of Dr. Jeremy Kepner, recognized the growing
importance of the HPC field and inaugurated this yearly workshop
and conference to bring together industry and academia to discuss
developments and needs. The conference, which continues to be
organized by MIT Lincoln Labs, is celebrating its 19th anniversary
this year. Seagate joins HP as co-platinum sponsors of HPEC ’15,
taking place September 15–17, 2015 in Waltham, Massachusetts.
Seagate and HP have worked with MIT Lincoln Labs, MIT Computer
Science & AI Laboratory, and MIT McGovern Institute for Brain
Research (McGovern) as proud suppliers contributing to their
important research. The MIT McGovern Institute is a team of
world-class neuroscientists dedicated to understanding how the
brain works and pioneering new methods to prevent and treat brain
disorders. The McGovern Institute utilizes Seagate and HP
technology within its computing cluster, using Seagate’s
ClusterStor™ Lustre® file system to store up to 483 terabytes of
data.
“Initially we became sponsors of the HPEC event because of the
overwhelming growth it had been experiencing,” said Dr. Christopher
N. Hill, principal research engineer, MIT. “We’re proud of our
association with our co-sponsors, as well as organizations like the
McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, which – through high
performance computing – continue to make fantastic strides in
medical research.”
“The research being conducted at MIT is a prime example of
Seagate and HP providing an end-to-end solution enabling
organizations to maximize the utilization of their HPC
infrastructure,” said Ken Claffey, vice president and general
manager, Seagate HPC systems business. “Seagate and HP are
providing solutions that run many of the experiments in the
technology centers at MIT Lincoln Labs and McGovern.”
Engineered for high-performance computing, Seagate’s ClusterStor
solutions remove complexities associated with deploying and
maintaining traditional high performance storage systems. With the
integration of Seagate’s core HDD and SDD with its ultra-dense data
enclosures, operating system, data protection layer, embedded
servers and the Lustre file system, the result is a uniquely
performance engineered, scalable storage platform. With this
all-inclusive combination, the award-winning Seagate ClusterStor
solution provides world-class performance with simplified
ease-of-use and management, significantly reducing the time
required to meet mission-critical needs. In a further step to solve
customer challenges, Seagate has partnered with HP to bring
together ClusterStor scale-out storage capabilities and HP
award-winning compute solutions, featuring the HPC oriented Apollo
line of servers, providing customers with the most scalable and
highest performance HPC solutions.
