RAID Inc. + Lustre Solutions

Considered the best file system for storage by many, Lustre is a high-performance storage architecture best known for powering seven of the ten largest HPC clusters in the world. In fact, it’s the most widely used file system in the Top 500 HPC sites in the world and can scale to many petabytes of storage while supporting tens of thousands of clients. The central component of this powerful storage architecture is the Lustre file system, which is currently available for Linux, providing a POSIX-compliant UNIX® file system interface. The Lustre file system is a parallel file system used in a wide range of HPC and enterprise environments that are creating, analyzing and storing more data than ever before.

Getting maximum performance from HPC and data-intensive applications is a necessity that requires storage infrastructure that scales endlessly and delivers unmatched I/O levels. Whether you have an existing Lustre system that is underperforming or are planning something new, RAID Inc. can help. We have end-to-end expertise, from initial planning to implementation and continued optimization as your data-intensive environment rapidly changes. Lustre-based solutions by RAID Inc. are used by many of the world’s largest enterprises and supercomputers. And in partnering with DDN Enterprise Edition for Lustre software, RAID Inc. unleashes the performance and scalability of the Lustre parallel file system for HPC workloads.
