    What is the Lustre Parallel

    File system?

    The Lustre Parallel file system provides

    unprecedented storage performance to all nodes

    of a cluster for a wide range of da ta intensive

    HPC processing workloads. Whether you are

    performing a reservoir simulation across a

    multi-terabyte dataset, gene sequencing acrossmillions of stored proteins or rendering the next

    Hollywood blockbuster, delivering data to your

    nodes is likely to cause a bottleneck.

    The Lustre parallel file system provides a single

    file system namespace to every client node in

    your cluster thereby reducing the management

    overhead of multiple traditional file systems

    required to achieve scalability. With support for

    over 10PB (Petabytes) of storage, 200GB/sec

    aggregate performance and over 25,000 clients

    Lustre is the most scalable HPC file system

    currently available with 7 of the Top10 HPC

    systems worldwide using it in production.

    Easily upgrade supplementary storage

    Easily add further virtualised machines

    Igloo L Series Lustre Parallel Storage Solutions

    Scalability through parallelism what makes these solutions special?

    Lustre works by considering your data files as a number of blocks of da ta where each block may be stored on one or more object-stora ge servers (OSS) with file metadata

    recorded by a dedicated metadata server (MDS). Compute nodes can mount the Lustre file system and use it like an y other POSIX compliant file system under Linux providingcompatibility with most Linux applications. As users write to the file system the compute nodes send blocks of da ta to the OSSs which write them to disk. By using multiple

    OSSs performance gains are observed as the I/O data is ser ved by multiple storage devices in parallel. By adding more OSSs it is possible to achieve near linear scaling in

    aggregate storage performance over a HPC c luster.

    Lustre supports a wide range of communication networks including Ethernet and Infiniband. Typically servers providing MSD and OSS services are connected to the c luster

    interconnect with all head and compute nodes. Files written by any node can be read and upda ted by any other node on the cluster similar to traditional NFS or CIFS stora ge

    solutions. To Expand the capacity or performance of the Lustre file system additional OSS machines may be d ynamically added when required the file system simply expands

    into the new space as it is a ttached.

    Scale from TB to PB dynamically without downtime

    Transform Your Workflow

    The newest NVIDIA Quadro professional solutions are true technological breakthroughs

    delivering up to 5x faster 3D performance and 8x faster computa tional simulation across a

    broad range of design, animation and video applications. Built on the innovative NVIDIA

    Fermi architecture, the latest Quadro offerings are the first professional-class GPUs to

    integrate high performance computing capabilities with advanced visualization techniques

    transforming modern workflows.

    In this day and age most organisations are fast running out of room to house their ser ver and rackmount

    hardware internally. As the deployment of servers continues to increase ser ver rooms are being used to

    their maximum capacity and the option of expanding or crea ting new server rooms can be an extremely

    costly exercise.

    One option has been to deploy ser ver hardware outside of a server room into an office space; cost

    effective as this may be the noise produced can be an instant barrier causing issues with tolerable noise

    levels within working environments and most importantly of all allo wing staff to work effectively without

    constant distraction and background noise.

    Gladly this common problem has now been resolved; in partnership with Silentium Boston ha ve available a

    comprehensive range of soundproofed AcoustiRACK rackmount enclosures which feature Silentiumsproprietary active noise cancellation technologies which are highly effective in reducing low-frequency

    noises. Once combined with unique high quality acoustic material s this pioneering range of enclosures

    achieve unprecedented spatial noise reduction over the entire frequenc y bandwidth of the audible spectrum

    up to 20dBA.

    This revolutionary breakthrough in noise reduction performance has been designed to tra p and absorb

    unwanted noise generated inside the rack whilst actively allo wing free air movement and heat exchange

    outside of the unit resulting in up to 8KW cooling/hea t dissipation.
