siCluster™ High Performance Storage Clusters

Affordable data storage scalable to hundreds of petabytes with no compromise in performance finally becomes a reality!

Leveraging Scalable Informatics JackRabbit high performance tightly-coupled storage, and Delta-V value priced storage, Scalable Informatics siCluster provides storage capacities from 2TB to multiple 10's of PB and larger.

Successful businesses are using Scalable Informatics' systems for engineering simulation, scientific computing, rendering, modeling, and visualization, among other applications.

In our standard siCluster configuration, Scalable Informatics uses GlusterFS™ from Gluster Inc.™ along with a high performance network fabric. This allows us to scale up I/O and network performance by adding additional storage nodes.

Whether you need two TB or hundreds of PB, we provide system designs that enable you to manageably scale your storage capacity — without compromising performance or reliability.

siCluster helps your business turn up the volume!

To take the best advantage of siCluster, we recommend the following file systems:

 


Gluster is exclusively focused on simplifying the task of storing and managing the explosion of unstructured data while transforming the economics of storage. GlusterFS is an open source clustered file system that runs on commodity, off-the-shelf hardware, delivering multiple times the scalability and performance of conventional storage at a fraction of the cost.

The GlusterFS architecture is modular, stackable, and kernel-independent, making it extremely easy to customize, install, manage, and support different operating systems. Multiple storage systems can be clustered together, supporting petabytes of capacity in a single global namespace. Building a configuration of a few hundred terabytes can be accomplished in less than thirty minutes.

Gluster is trademark Z-Research.
 

For the world's largest and most complex computing environments, the Lustre™ file system redefines high performance, scaling to tens of thousands of nodes and petabytes of storage with groundbreaking I/O and metadata throughput.

Lustre is trademark Sun Microsystems.

 

Scalable Informatics is also an approved reseller of Cray CX1™ systems.

Deskside Computing Clusters

 

Cray CX1

Cray CX1

The Cray CX1™ deskside personal supercomputer is the "right size" in performance, functionality, and cost for individuals and departmental workgroups who want to harness HPC without the complexity of traditional clusters.

Equipped with powerful Intel Xeon processors and integrated with your choice of Windows HPC Server 2008, Linux-based Rocks+ (Intel Cluster Ready), or Platform OCS (Intel Cluster Ready), the Cray CX1 delivers the power of a high performance cluster with the ease-of-use and seamless integration of a workstation.

Our partners at Newservers.com and Sabalcore provide high performance computing on-demand, with Newservers.com creating dedicated cluster systems, and Sabalcore providing pre-constructed cluster systems.
