IBM Spectrum Scale Software and Seagate
ClusterStor High Performance Computing Storage Solutions to Yield
Productivity and Efficiency Gains for Rapidly Expanding Data
Intensive Markets
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, announced it is integrating IBM® Spectrum Scale™
software with its ClusterStor™ High Performance Computing (HPC)
storage to deliver a new software defined storage appliance. The
new appliance will help users manage the demands of data-intensive
workloads, such as genomic research, computer aided design, digital
media, data analytics, financial model analysis and electronic
design simulations.
“The newly engineered system will bring the capabilities of IBM
Spectrum Scale together with the unique performance efficiency and
scalability of Seagate’s ClusterStor systems, helping clients
to manage demanding, data-hungry high performance computing
applications more efficiently than before,” said Ken Claffey, vice
president and general manager, Seagate HPC systems business. “To do
so, we are building on the Seagate core, extending innovation from
the device into the information infrastructure, both on-site and in
the Cloud.”
Engineered for high performance computing, Seagate’s ClusterStor
helps solve today’s toughest HPC storage challenges—delivering
power, performance, scalability and reliability for users in a wide
range of industries that rely on supercomputing applications.
Having shipped over 17,000 petabytes and two million enclosures for
major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Seagate has
successfully delivered some of the largest, most productive and
efficient HPC storage systems in the world. Seagate’s innovative
ClusterStor solutions are in a unique position to empower
information-driven organizations that require the shortest time and
cost to insight with the opportunity to extract unprecedented value
from their big data.
IBM Spectrum Scale is part of IBM’s industry-leading Spectrum
Storage software defined storage family helping clients manage
massive amounts of data globally, where they want it, how they want
it, in a fast and easy manner from a single dashboard.
“Organizations in all industries are looking for faster and more
cost efficient ways to store, manage and access data for critical
business processes and insight-generating analytics,” said Bernie
Spang, vice president, IBM software defined infrastructure. “With
the IBM Spectrum Storage portfolio, IBM has created building blocks
for partners to deliver new and creative technology solutions that
help clients meet their diverse needs.”
IBM Spectrum Scale is a proven, scalable, high-performance file
and object management solution delivering simplified data
management and integrated information lifecycle tools capable of
managing petabytes of data and billions of files, in order to
manage the growing cost of dealing with ever increasing amounts of
data.
Seagate brings together its expertise in hard disk drives and
storage system architectures to ensure organizations achieve high
performance and productivity levels while cutting HPC storage total
cost of ownership (TCO) through reduced data center floor space as
well as decreased power, cooling and administrative costs.
ClusterStor reliably provides superior performance in a smaller
space. This is integral to sustaining performance efficiency,
allowing organizations to maximize production-level uptime, keeping
their HPC initiatives on schedule and on budget.
Availability
Seagate’s new software defined storage appliance, which combines
ClusterStor with IBM Spectrum Scale, is expected to be available
from Seagate’s sales partners late in 2015.
