What is the Lustre ParallelFile system?

The Lustre Parallel file system providesunprecedented storage performance to all nodesof a cluster for a wide range of data intensiveHPC processing workloads. Whether you areperforming a reservoir simulation across amulti-terabyte dataset, gene sequencing acrossmillions of stored proteins or rendering the nextHollywood blockbuster, delivering data to yournodes is likely to cause a bottleneck.

The Lustre parallel file system provides a singlefile system namespace to every client node inyour cluster thereby reducing the managementoverhead of multiple traditional file systemsrequired to achieve scalability. With support forover 10PB (Petabytes) of storage, 200GB/secaggregate performance and over 25,000 clientsLustre is the most scalable HPC file systemcurrently available with 7 of the Top10 HPCsystems worldwide using it in production.

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 data where each block may be stored on one or more object-storage servers (OSS) with file metadatarecorded by a dedicated metadata server (MDS). Compute nodes can mount the Lustre file system and use it like any 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 data to the OSS’s which write them to disk. By using multipleOSS’s performance gains are observed as the I/O data is served by multiple storage devices in parallel. By adding more OSS’s it is possible to achieve near linear scaling inaggregate storage performance over a HPC cluster.

Lustre supports a wide range of communication networks including Ethernet and Infiniband. Typically servers providing MSD and OSS services are connected to the clusterinterconnect with all head and compute nodes. Files written by any node can be read and updated by any other node on the cluster similar to traditional NFS or CIFS storagesolutions. To Expand the capacity or performance of the Lustre file system additional OSS machines may be dynamically added when required – the file system simply expandsinto the new space as it is attached.

• Scale from TB to PB dynamically without downtime

• Flexible deployment over Infiniband or Ethernet interconnects

• Mix-and-match building blocks providing high capacity and performance

• Single file system provides simple management and lowcost-of-ownership

• High density, power efficient storage servers

• Certified and benchmarked configurations for speed of deployment

• Ideal for video rendering, live broadcasts, media content storage and distribution

• Parallel access to massive energy, manufacturing and

imaging datasets

• Snapshot long-running CFD and bioscience jobs to disk

at gigabyte-per-second speeds

• Dedicated High performance parallel storage appliances

• Enhanced software tools deliver simplified management

GP Low Power Servers

“A great business-class server for those finding themselves withrapidly expanding CPU requirements.” LINUX FORMAT MAGAZINE REVIEW ON THE BOSTON 2300GP

In this day and age where many server platforms are not used anywhere near their processing potential, many applications and applianceswould be better placed within a low power small form factor server. Our GP (Green Power) range has been power optimised to significantlyreduce the energy costs and the global impact of servers we daily use.

• Automatically regulate power consumption & performance to meet your needs

• Intel® Intelligent Power Technology shifts processors into their lowest available power state

• Boost performance by up to 15 times over a single core server with processors that intelligently adaptto your workload

• Intel® Turbo Boost Technology dynamically and automatically maximizes server application performance by increasing core frequencies, enabling faster speeds for specific threads, and mega-tasking workloads.

• Intel® Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions (Intel® AES-NI) delivers robust encryption without needing additional appliances or increased performance overhead, improving CPU performance for encryption.

• The worlds 1st 12 & 8 core processors

• More cores & more memory for less money!

• Optimised for workload specific performance, power efficiency & value

• Share processors between Uni/Dual/Quad processor based systems; there is no price “premium” that needs to be paid for Dual/Quad socket specific processors; all parts can be used across multiple configurations andcan be changed/moved to suit project needs

• AMD® CoolSpeed™ Technology reduces power states when temperature limits have been reached. This allows a server to continue to operate even if a processors thermal environment exceeds safe operational limits and also safely reduces system fan speeds to deliver greater platform efficiency.

• Quad Channel DDR3 memory support doubles the memory capacity compared to previous generations of AMD® Opteron™ processors

• HyperTransport™ 3.0 Technology (HT3) provides superior system bandwidth between CPU’s and I/O up to a maximum 6.4GT/s with improved system balance and scalability for scale out compute environments such as HPC, database and web serving.

The future is fusion

With numerous exciting developments made regularly on processor technologies keeping up with the latest and greatest parts can be a time consuming process in itself! With many variables such as core count, clock speed, powerconsumption etc to be taken into consideration when choosing your processor of choice; with this in mind please find Boston’s easy to use guide to the latest generation of “server class” processors from Intel® and AMD®.


Transform Your Workflow

The newest NVIDIA® Quadro® professional solutions are true technological breakthroughs

delivering up to 5x faster 3D performance and 8x faster computational 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 server and rackmount

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

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

costly exercise.

One option has been to deploy server 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 allowing staff to work effectively without

constant distraction and background noise.

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

comprehensive range of soundproofed AcoustiRACK™ rackmount enclosures which feature Silentium’s

proprietary “active” noise cancellation technologies which are highly effective in reducing low-frequency

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

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

up to 20dBA.

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

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

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

NVIDIA® Quadro®FX ProfessionalGraphics Solutions

Silentium Rackmount Enclosureswith Active Noise Reduction

• Having problems with noisy servers and rackmount hardware?• Do you need to use servers locally in your offices but can’t

live with the noise?• Need a server room in a rack with active noise cancellation
