Expert Insight: HPC Uses, Storage Requirements, and Backup Tips
sponsored by Dell, Inc. and Intel®
ABSTRACT:
Although high performance computing (HPC) systems have unique data analysis capabilities, they also have complex storage requirements that IT professionals must address. This expert e-guide discusses the primary uses for HPC and explains why many existing storage technologies are not well suited to support this type of environment.
Discover how scale-out storage can overcome the limitations of traditional alternatives and find out why the following steps are essential when tweaking data backups in OneFS-based HPC systems:
- Configure network data management protocol (NDMP) backups to shorten data paths
- Use an indirect NDMP backup topology if the direct method is not feasible
- Implement an archiving tool to avoid backing up the same data repeatedly
- And more
