Big Data is here and it is challenging. Today’s digital content explosion is creating massive volumes of data: high definition video, networked sensors, social media content, simulation and research data that is challenging the limitations of conventional NAS solutions.
Traditional enterprise NAS solutions was designed and built to handle 20th century business applications when documents, spreadsheets, presentations and databases were the primary consumers of storage. At that time, files were small and growth was more predictable, so it was easier to plan for current needs and future growth.
NAS Scaler is a purpose-built file storage solution, architected to handle the diverse and dynamic demands of Big Data that can require petabytes of information to be delivered at high speed. Our innovative Scale Right approach provides a new ability to create a custom blend of capacity, IOPS and throughput to align with your specific applications. This eliminates dedicated systems and costly over-provisioning of unneeded resources and provides the most economic, cost effective platform to scale as your applications and data patterns change and capacity grows.

TiTech needed to evolve their Tsubame supercomputer architecture to support petascale applications, increase cluster & storage capacity and deliver the highest quality of service to their supercomputer users in the international research community.
DDN & HP delivered the massively scalable DDN | EXAScaler to deliver over 60GB/s of shared file system throughput to support a ~2.4 Petaflop resource. Improvements include:

ORNL required an extremely scalable, high performing storage solution for the Jaguar supercomputer to enable Petascale genomics research
At 240GB/s, DDN delivered the world's most scalable bio-informatics storage solution to run on the United State’s fastest supercomputer.

Driven by business opportunities, this oil and gas company needed to scale production operations and increase their seismic computation by 10X. This required an advanced technology that would be capable of providing a significant increase in performance and scale requirements for their backend storage.
DDN deployed EXAScaler, serving as their infrastructure which will enable substantial growth of their production operations, making them ready for a 10-100x increase in seismic computations in the future.

Driven by the rapid increase in both data & performance requirements of the next-gen Illumina sequencers, Sanger needed an infrastructure upgrade to support this new genomics technology.
Sanger procured 3 SFA10K systems to power a scale-out, QDR InfiniBand enabled EXAScaler storage cluster. With over 30GB/s of performance and petabytes of capacity, Sanger is now ready to tackle the most extreme workflows their Illumina sequencers can throw at them.
