HPCArchitecting custom managed HPC solutions for high-performance computing and scalable storage
Hardware Spectrum of OptionsServers, JBOD, Active/Cold
• Servers – act as your “controllers” and head nodes– Serving the file (NFS,SMB,CIFS) or block (FC, iSCSI)
in a traditional scale up architecture– Building block for your scale-out architecture
• JBODs – Allows you to extend the useable disk capacity
• HDD/SSDs/NVMe/Kinetic Drives

Hardware SpectrumKey Takeaways
• Wealth of choices can lead to confusion and also mistakes• Important to understand your goals and technical requirements• Hardware technology has made significant advancements to increase
density and lower costs• NVMe + Supermicro = a competitive solution that meets HPC
demands• Devices are becoming more intelligent and are supporting applications
and platforms to have direct access versus relying upon legacy POSIX based file systems
