CUPERTINO, Calif., Nov. 17 — #Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) today introduced #ClusterStor #A200, a first-of-its-kind tiered archive storage system for high performance computing ( #HPC ). The A200 helps reduce storage and operational costs by up to 50 percent compared to tier-one storage platforms.
The A200 was designed to complement the rest of Seagate’s ClusterStor family of scale-out storage systems. It allows customers to non-disruptively migrate designated data off of the performance-optimized, primary storage tiers while keeping it online for fast retrieval. This avoids a common problem in shared HPC environments where the organization is forced to choose between having all of the data available to make the best analysis versus the time required to retrieve data from tape. Performance of the primary storage is often improved by migrating data and freeing up space for more efficient data layout. The pre-configured ClusterStor A200 solution includes an automatic policy-driven hierarchical storage management (HSM) system and near limitless scale-out capacity.
“The A200 is designed to be the perfect complement to our high performance ClusterStor Lustre and #IBM #SpectrumScale engineered systems,” said Ken Claffey, vice president and general manager, Seagate HPC systems business. “It balances performance while also delivering a system that is optimized for the lowest capex and opex for active archive applications. Many critical HPC systems need to go back and analyze valuable data that’s already been archived, but our customers want these large archives to be online with massive data sets available instantly. ClusterStor A200 is a purpose-built solution to help enable storage tiering and end-to-end workflow in HPC environments.”
