Description

The convergence of high-performance computing (HPC) and machine learning is placing unprecedented requirements on storage solutions, as the input/output demands of these two distinct workloads diverge significantly. This shift is occurring at this very moment, with a recent analysis from the independent firm Intersect360 revealing that a striking 63% of current HPC users are actively implementing machine learning applications. Furthermore, Hyperion Research projects that, if trends continue, public sector organizations and enterprises will see HPC storage expenditures increase at a rate 57% faster than HPC compute investments over the next three years. Reflecting on this, Seymour Cray famously stated, "Anyone can build a fast CPU; the trick is to build a fast system." In the realm of HPC and AI, while creating fast file storage may seem straightforward, the true challenge lies in developing a storage system that is not only quick but also economically viable and capable of scaling effectively. We accomplish this by integrating top-tier parallel file systems into HPE's parallel storage solutions, ensuring that cost efficiency is a fundamental aspect of our approach. This strategy not only meets the current demands of users but also positions us well for future growth.
