Seagate ClusterStor L300 chosen as the scratch
storage tier for CEA DAM’s GS1K data management infrastructure
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ:STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, today announced the French Alternative Energies and
Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) has selected the Seagate
ClusterStor™ L300 for its GS1K HPC storage needs.
In collaboration with Atos, CEA chose Seagate ClusterStor, a
scale-out data storage and management platform, for its high-speed
ability to derive maximum performance from every disk while
reducing storage footprint – and ownership costs.
For Phase One of the GS1K infrastructure deployment, Seagate is
providing a ClusterStor L300 system with 6-petabyte hard disk drive
capacity and over 200GB/sec file system throughput.
“For GS1K, it is critical for CEA to select partners that
understand the unique challenges of building solutions at the
leading edge of supercomputing,” said Jacques-Charles Lafoucrière,
department lead at CEA. “Seagate ClusterStor excels in performance
and, over the past few years, ClusterStor has proven its stability
in the most demanding HPC environments. Key environmental factors
such as density and power requirements also weighed in favor of the
ClusterStor solution.”
“All four of the new entrants of the world's Top 10
supercomputers are powered by Seagate,” said Ken Claffey, vice
president and general manager, Seagate HPC systems business. “CEA’s
selection of Seagate for their two new main supercomputers further
symbolizes our leadership in providing the highest performing,
fully-engineered solutions for HPC.”
“The new Seagate L300 is one of the core elements of CEA’s
current Global Storage 1000 (GS1K) storage platform, which will be
further extended to handle the extreme data workloads of CEA’s
forthcoming Tera 1000 machine,” says Eric Eppe, director of storage
& data management product line, extreme computing, Atos. “This
is a really exciting time for Atos. By the end of 2017, CEA’s newly
installed Bull Sequana X1000 is expected to rank #1 in the European
Top 500 and in the Top 10 worldwide, running some of its fastest
file systems on Seagate’s L300.”
About CEA
The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission is
a public body established in October 1945 by General de Gaulle. A
key player in research, development and innovation, the CEA is
active in four main areas: defence and security, nuclear energy
(fission and fusion), technological research for industry, and
fundamental research in the physical sciences and life sciences.
The CEA's Military Applications Division ("DAM") is responsible for
defence and security missions. DAM is responsible for the design,
manufacture, through-life support and dismantling of the nuclear
warheads that equip France’s sea and airborne deterrence forces. It
is also responsible for the design and manufacture of the nuclear
reactors and reactor cores on French Navy submarines and aircraft
carriers. It assists the Navy with in-service follow-up and
through-life support for these reactors. DAM is in charge of
procuring strategic nuclear materials required for the nation’s
deterrence, and also contributes to national and global security
through the technical support it provides to authorities relative
to the prevention of nuclear proliferation and terrorism as well as
to disarmament.
