ATOS :Atos tackles storage bottlenecks for High Performance Computing
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Bezons, Salt Lake City, 9 November 2016 - Atos, through its technology brand
Bull, launches Bull Director for HPSS, first component of the future range of
Bull Data Management software dedicated to High Performance Computing. Bull
Director for HPSS optimizes current large scale storage solutions and frees up
compute time for users.
This launch confirms Atos strategic commitment to develop innovative solutions
for High Performance Computing (HPC) and High Performance Data Analytics (HPDA).
The beta version of Bull Director for HPSS is revealed at the SC16 Conference in
Salt Lake City, Utah (USA), the largest HPC event in the world that takes place
14 - 17 November.
Bull Director for HPSS includes the following features:
* It is an ad-on to HPSS that brings performance and ease of management to the
next level.
* It improves the global performance of HPSS for tape libraries, in an
environment with many concurrent access requests, by grouping simultaneous
requests from different users in real time.
* It sorts all file recalls dynamically and transparently, and queues them
according to their position on tapes, thus massively decreasing tape mounts
and tape movements. This improves drastically HPSS performance when massive
file recalls are the norm.
As data sets with hundreds of terabytes or many petabytes of data become
increasingly common-place, Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) becomes a
cornerstone of successful intensive data management systems. HSM is a data
storage technique that automatically moves data between high-performance / high-
cost storage devices and low-end / low-cost storage devices. To optimize costs,
HSM systems store the bulk of data on slow, economical devices such as robotic
tape libraries, and copy data to faster disk drives whenever they are needed for
processing.
HPSS (High Performance Storage System) is an HSM system born from a
Collaboration between IBM Global Business Services and 5 American DOE
laboratories, augmented lately by the French CEA/DAM.
" In a context of data explosion, storage is often a bottleneck and has a
negative impact on application performance. Atos has a long experience of
implementing HPSS in challenging environments where long-term data preservation
and re-use of massive data sets are key. Our ultimate objective with Bull
Director for HPSS and the other future components is to get rid of these
bottlenecks and free up compute time for users." explains Eric Eppe, Head of
Products and Solutions for extreme computing at Atos.
