StoragePipeline: Hewlett-Packard unveiled a new file server that enables bandwidth to be shared by distributing files in parallel across server and storage clusters, the vendor said Tuesday at the International Supercomputing Conference in Heidelberg, Germany.
The HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share is the second product from the company that uses a storage grid architecture and is the first product to use a new Linux clustering technology called Lustre, developed in collaboration with HP, the Department of Energy and Cluster File Systems Inc. Lustre can deliver 100 times more bandwidth than typical cluster technology, according to HP.
Lustre is already in use at the DoE's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), where it helps eliminate input/output bandwidth bottlenecks and saves users time copying files across hundreds of distributed file systems.
