Global Computing Leader HP Adds Seagate’s
Award-Winning Storage Appliances to its High Performance Computing
Solutions
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, has extended its alliance agreement with computing
leader HP to equip its high performance computing (HPC) solutions
with ClusterStor scale-out storage capabilities.
Building on a proven partnership, HP will resell Seagate’s
ClusterStor™ 1500 and 9000 appliances along with its HPC solutions.
This partnership will support HP’s Apollo portfolio of products and
services, which manage HPC workloads in complex computing
environments.
“At this level of computing, simplifying the process of deriving
insights from large amounts of data is tremendously helpful —
especially as we work to achieve breakthrough discoveries in areas
such as neuroscience,” said Dr. Christopher Hill, principal
research engineer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
“The joint solution from HP and Seagate will be integral in helping
advance our research.”
Seagate’s ClusterStor combines a unique scale out storage
architecture with the Lustre parallel file system together with
optimized Seagate storage media to deliver the most scalable and
highest performance storage solution for the HPC market. By
removing complexities associated with deploying and maintaining
traditional high performance storage systems, ClusterStor
significantly reduces the time and operational costs required to
meet mission-critical needs. In addition to MIT, the enhanced HP
HPC solutions will benefit a wide range of users in fields such as
bio informatics, pharmaceutical discovery, upstream oil and gas
modeling, weather simulation, academic and government research.
“As a result of this partnership, customers can now purchase a
complete end-to-end HPC storage solution born from two of the most
trusted technology companies in the business,” said Ken Claffey,
vice president and general manager, Seagate HPC systems business.
“Aligning our expertise is more valuable than ever before as HPC
moves into a new era of data-centric computing, which is increasing
the need for high performance, scalable storage systems.”
“At HP we’re committed to providing flexibility to meet all HPC
needs,” said Bill Mannel, vice president and general manager, HP.
“We’re confident that Seagate’s award-winning ClusterStor – which
HP has successfully utilized within oil and gas verticals – can now
help us achieve a high-level of performance for additional HPC
workloads in other vertical industries. Often these solutions must
provide scalability for growth while being easy to use in terms of
efficiently managing and deriving value from hyperscale and high
performance computing. Seagate ClusterStor is targeted to address
these types of requirements.”
