The Commercial HPC Storage Checklist
High-Performance Computing (HPC) is no longer limited to the halls of academia and large government labs. Commercial HPC use cases are on the rise. Many organizations now have a large pool of unstructured data that requires analysis. The challenge for…
SlideShare: Is Your Storage Ready for Commercial HPC? – Three Steps to Take
High-Performance Computing (HPC) used to be limited to universities and government agencies, now though industries of all types are leveraging HPC for big manufacturing, in-depth analysis, sophisticated modeling and VFX rendering. However, commercial organizations don’t have the time for erector…
Three Steps to Architecting Storage for Commercial HPC
The storage architecture requirements for Commercial HPC are different from those for traditional enterprise storage architecture. They are also different from the traditional HPC requirements. Most enterprise IT professionals try to either extend their current storage architectures, which are supporting…
Commercial HPC vs. Enterprise Storage
High-Performance Computing (HPC) is no longer a workload for academia, now organizations of all types and sizes have HPC like workloads that require scalable, sequential access to vast amounts of unstructured data. These initiatives need rapid access and need to…
How to Design Storage for Commercial HPC
High-Performance Compute (HPC) and commercial data centers used to be two distinctly separate entities, but now businesses of all types are conducting HPC-like operations. These organizations have large amounts of unstructured data that they need rapid sequential access to for…
The Three New Requirements of Unstructured Data Protection
Unstructured data has been a part of the data center since there were data centers. However, over the last decade, unstructured data has fundamentally changed. What was once data consisting of office productivity documents created by users is now data…
How to Fix Broken Backup
The single biggest challenge facing backup, ironically has nothing to do with backup. Backup’s biggest challenge is the pace at which the organization evolves and the speed at which it expects IT to keep pace with that evolution. Combine that…
