HPC Customers Weigh in on Sun Storage F5100 Flash Array

HPC Wire cites some glowing customer quotes from Sun HPC customers on the performance of the Sun Storage F5100 Flash Array. Don Thorp, Operations Manager at SDSC had this to say:

"San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) has been evaluating the F5100 Flash Storage array as a high performance SamQFS metadata target, which sits at the core of our archiving services and hosts well over one hundred million files. Performance improvement of 2.5 to four times was demonstrated for file creation and metadata scans, such as listing and backups. Further testing will be done using the Sun Storage F5100 as a Lustre metadata target, high speed storage pool in Lustre 2.0 for user checkpoint data, Oracle database storage device and out-of-core storage device on an HPC cluster."
