Capable of massive amounts of computational power, high performance computing (HPC) clusters naturally result in the creation of vast amounts of data and very large individual files. But while the speed of processors and memory have risen over time to keep up, I/O system performance continues to lag behind. And poor I/O performance can severely degrade the overall functionality of even the speediest clusters. Read this solution brief to learn how to bridge the gap between rising computational power and lagging I/O system support with the right cloud-based file system.
