Rather than fight complexity, let the highly The Ultimate in Scale-Out Storage efficient, factory tested and seamlessly integrated ClusterStor solution do the work for you. for HPC and Big Data ClusterStor maximizes your operation time and application availability. Keeping your storage and file system running through scheduled maintenance or production operation upgrades means that you can stay productive. A key aspect to keeping you up and running is ClusterStor s built-in high availability design and comprehensive set of distributed management services. ClusterStor has been designed from the ground up as a highly available enterprise class storage solution with resiliency engineered into all primary subsystems. Meta-data and management server operations are resident on a high availability Cluster Management Unit. Each Scalable Storage Unit includes active/active embedded server modules, redundant and independent system interconnects. ClusterStor Manager removes the management burden of administering tens of petabytes and their traditional complement of deployed Lustre Object Storage Servers. Consolidated and detailed health monitoring and error reporting enables administrators to quickly view and diagnose file system and hardware assets. Software and firmware upgrades across an entire ClusterStor system are executed through ClusterStor Manager, removing the administrative burden and risks that come with large complex Lustre implementations. Xyratex removes all of the pre-upgrade work and testing effort normally associated with upgrades and gives you an ability to roll-back upgrades, if necessary. ClusterStor Manager is a comprehensive system management application that is part of ClusterStor s distributed management framework and is responsible for pulling everything together as a single managed system. ClusterStor Manager consolidates The ClusterStor family of high management of the storage infrastructure, RAID data protection layer, scale-out operating system and the Lustre file system into a performance scale-out storage for single, easy-to-use, administrator interface.

Data scale-out compute nodes. ClusterStor is the result of state of the art optimization of the Lustre file system embedded managing and maintaining traditional Lustre environments using In a ClusterStor system, Scalable Storage Units (SSUs) act as independent I/O processing engines that work in parallel. Each SSU has its within a modular scale-out hardware architecture to address a wide spectrum of HPC off the shelf components from different vendors. own set of resources that includes densely packed disk storage and dual embedded server modules, which also carry their own set of and Big Data application needs. ClusterStor offers solutions to best match your most challenging linear performance and capacity scalability requirements. When you get up close, you can see that ClusterStor is not only innovative in its approach but also delivers a level of quality that translates into higher availability to meet your productivity requirements today and into the future. Problem: Legacy storage metrics are not meaningful at the HPC and Big Data user level. Traditional Lustre file system solutions have typically used a mix of off-the-shelf components from different vendors leveraging legacy storage. Difficulties and roadblocks have been widely reported within the industry due to variances in vendor components Lustre s future is directly tied to its quality and end user productivity success. This is why Xyratex makes significant contributions into Lustre testing, support and community involvement, and why we have honed the processing, memory and I/O network resources.
