New Version 2.0 of ClusterStor for Lustre
delivers 700% metadata performance improvement and support for 16B
files
Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX), a world leader in storage
solutions, today announced the next generation of its ClusterStor™
Engineered Solution for Lustre®, offering up to 700% metadata
performance improvements.
The benefits of this new solution begin with improved metadata
performance and scalability by implementing the Distributed
Namespace (DNE) features in the Lustre 2.5 parallel file system. In
addition to the Base Metadata Management Server capability,
ClusterStor customers will now have the option to add up to sixteen
Lustre Distributed Namespace metadata servers per single file
system, providing client metadata performance improvement of up to
700% and expanded scalability support for up to 16 billion files
per file system. This next generation Seagate ClusterStor
Engineered Solution for Lustre is the only fully engineered
solution integrating all aspects of hardware, software and full
Lustre support for the latest 2.5 version of the Lustre parallel
file system.
Seagate ClusterStor Engineered Solutions for Lustre adds
important new features to the Lustre parallel data storage file
system used in high performance computing (HPC) environments,
scaling from small workgroup clusters to large-scale computing
clusters requiring storage support of up to 1TB/sec performance and
up to 100s of PB storage capacity from a single file system.
Updated features include scalability advancements to support larger
computing clusters, improved security capabilities including
government security compliance and ease of deployment for upcoming
Lustre releases.
“We’re excited to implement Seagate’s latest version of the
ClusterStor Engineered Solution for Lustre as part of our Cray
Sonexion 2000 offering. We believe this will build upon and expand
our already successful and productive partnership,” said Barry C.
Bolding, Vice President, Marketing and Business Development, Cray
Inc. “The emphasis Seagate is placing on HPC solutions means
continued innovation for customers requiring data intensive
computing and provides a solid framework for Cray’s Lustre parallel
file system storage offering.”
Supporting a new Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM)
framework, Seagate ClusterStor OEM, reseller partners and end users
will be able to create and manage multi-tier disk-to-disk and
disk-to-tape data migration solutions, which aid in reducing
capital and operating expenditures, associated with prior
labor-intensive data management procedure. By leveraging Seagate’s
proven ClusterStor solution, partners will benefit through reduced
investment risk, integration and support costs associated with new,
major releases of the Lustre file system.
“Engineered for high-performance computing, Seagate’s HPC
solution combines high-density storage enclosures, the operating
system, hardware controllers, and the Lustre file system in a
consolidated, scale-out high performance-computing storage
platform. The award-winning Seagate HPC solution removes the
complexities associated with deploying and maintaining traditional
high-performance systems yielding faster time to results, ease of
use, and world-class performance to meet mission-critical needs,”
said Ken Claffey, Vice President of ClusterStor, Seagate Cloud
Systems and Solutions. “The increased scalability,
ease-of-management and improvements to Seagate ClusterStor
Engineered Solutions for Lustre will be welcomed by our OEM
partners and end users. We look forward to sharing these
advancements with Seagate’s partners as well as our public and
private sector communities during the Super Computing (SC14)
conference in New Orleans.”
Seagate ClusterStor™ Secure Data Appliance Now
Available
Today Seagate also announced the availability of the Seagate
ClusterStor Secure Data Appliance (SDA). As part of this news,
Seagate is announcing the ClusterStor SDA now includes Kerberos
network authentication protocol as a foundation to enable
symmetric-key cryptography. This provides the file system framework
to enable encryption key management solutions based upon Kerberos
to encrypt network data traffic between the compute client and
storage system, ensuring an incremental level of security against
insider threats. Specific attributes of SDA with Kerberos
enablement include:
- ICD 503 Multi Level Security for
Geospatial Imagery Data Capture and analytics
- Performance capability to capture and
analyze large image file sizes providing faster time to results
with increased decision support accuracy.
- Framework to enable customized compute
client to disk encryption and key management solutions
Seagate ClusterStor SDA is the industry’s first compliant and
secure scale-out parallel file system solution, providing the means
to implement all the necessary Mandatory Access Control (MAC),
explicit audit logging / tracking, encryption and support
capabilities to enforce “least privilege” access control. Seagate
ClusterStor SDA meets US government Intelligence Community
Directive (ICD) 503 policies and related Director of Central
Intelligence Directives (DCID 6/3 PL4) cross domain solution
requirements. Seagate is exhibiting at SC14, November 16-21 in New
Orleans during which it will demonstrate the next generation of
Seagate ClusterStor Engineered Solutions for Lustre at booth 3239.
Those interested in a meeting should contact a member of the
Seagate team or stop by the booth during the event.
Availability
Seagate’s ClusterStor Engineered Solution for Lustre is
currently available. Seagate ClusterStor SDA with Kerberos
enablement is scheduled to be available in December 2014. For more
