The SFA10000 Lustre File Storage Systems from DDN is a parallel file storage system, built from the ground up to deliver scalable clustered storage performance while enabling operational simplicity and predictable performance. It is ideally suited for single file, high bandwidth, performance demanding applications closely coupled to clusters found in today's HPC environments. It delivers application scaling and real-time quality of service to avoid performance degradation. Applying intelligence throughout its architecture, the DDN Lustre File Storage System is an ideal complement to today's solutions requiring storage that is closely coupled to an HPC cluster and sharing the cluster's high performance interconnect. The DDN Lustre File Storage System separates metadata from the data path and through intelligent lock management scales throughput and file operations performance as the cluster grows. Smart HP ProLiant storage servers manage data objects that are dynamically distributed horizontally across the servers, shattering performance limitations common on traditional storage systems and enabling today's leading scientific and grid computing. Around the world, Lustre users depend on DDN storage to simplify storage scale-out, reduce data center footprint, and accelerate file system I/O with unique DDN storage technology designed specifically to accelerate Lustre performance.
