HPC Storage, Server & Fabric
1. IBM Spectrum Scale
Spectrum Scale provides a datacenter with a flexible storage platform that allows the end user access to enormous
amounts of data at incredibly high speeds. The secret to Scale's performance is a tiered storage hierarchy which
prioritizes frequently used data to the fastest storage tiers while maintaining the rest of the data on more cost-effective
storage devices for on-demand access. IBM Spectrum Scale intelligent storage rules allow for the user to customize
the use of their hardware depending on their needs.
Supermicro offers Specturm Scale based Solutions for HPC Applications.

2. Lustre File System
Lustre is a parallel file system that provides speeds necessary for HPC workloads from petabytes of storage. Lustre Solution
allows for thousands of clients to access storage devices on demand. This solution is made possible by decoupling the
metadata and data on servers, which means that the customer can design and tailor their cluster depending on the workload
that they will be running. Lustre has been time-tested in a number of the world's largest datacenters,in fact, Lustre currently
powers 75% of top 100 supercomputers on Earth. Supermicro has paired up with Intel and BGI in order to provide the BGI
laboratories with a Lustre system capable of 8Gb/s speeds!

4. HPC Fabric (Omni-Path, InfiniBand)
Supermicro Omni-path (OPA)
Intel's Omni-Path technology is the next generation of networking. With low latency and high throughput,
the Intel Omni-Path switches offer the best of both worlds. We recommend Supermicro Intel® Omni-Path to
any HPC customer who is concerned about their network performance being an issue.
Mellanox InfiniBand (IB)
Mellanox’s InfiniBand switches are another excellent choice when it comes to high speed interconnect for HPC.
HPC requires low latency and high throughput in networking and that is exactly what InfiniBand offers.
Supermicro HPC server platforms provide built-in Mellanox EDR or FDR adaptors or optional SIOMs.
