Why customers choose PowerVault ME5 SSDs and PowerEdge servers for high performance computing (HPC)
High performance computing (HPC) with sophisticated data modeling, analytics and simulation capabilities is having a transformative impact on enterprise markets such as media/entertainment, oil and gas, financial services, genomics and life sciences. HPC's data-centric model of analytical computing also drives the need for discrete, reliable, and scalable storage systems that can keep pace with the growing volumes of data generated in these environments. The need to efficiently store, manage, analyze, and extract information from data volumes within clustered HPC parallel file systems makes the compatibility of server computing power and storage system capacity even more important.
1. Checked configurations
Proven configurations of PowerEdge servers and PowerVault storage systems make it easier, faster and cheaper to deploy modular HPC environments. Dell Technologies offers pre-tested configurations that include software, hardware, storage systems, and connectivity, along with documented best practices, to help you start small and scale as your high-performance computing needs grow. Proven configurations ensure longer server life and the ability to seamlessly add storage capacity with direct external connectivity.
2. Choice between price and performance
When companies need to store, process and quickly access large volumes of high-performance data for analysis, they turn to Dell PowerEdge servers connected to the PowerVault ME storage system. This infrastructure combination helps companies reduce the capital and operational costs of computing and storing dense data at an acceptable price/performance ratio. Combining these modern infrastructure platforms is an affordable way to achieve the performance and bandwidth required for most high-performance computing environments. You can flexibly manage the RAID array on both the server and the storage to optimize performance. Arrays of PowerVault RAID controllers conserve computing power, providing more space and speed for reading and writing data, and work with any OS. In addition, PowerEdge PERC RAID controllers provide reliability, performance and high-speed connectivity when JBOD devices are used.
3. Topology flexibility
Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault SZDs provide the flexibility to configure them as DirectAttach Storage (DAS) topologies with high storage capacity. Separation of compute and storage allows you to scale your HPC environment modularly, replacing PowerEdge servers only when more memory or processors are needed, and flexibly adding storage capacity as needed. When configured for DAS, the combination of compute and storage provides the HPC environment with the best operational performance because the server does not need to go through a switched network to read and write data.
4. Simplified management
Easily manage Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault storage along with other Dell technologies and third-party platforms from a single pane of glass. Open and extensible management options are available, including Dell OpenManage Enterprise (OME). In addition, you can use iDRAC and CloudIQ for predictive analytics and health monitoring of servers and storage systems, respectively. Management options can be used to speed up time to repair, reduce monitoring effort, accelerate new deployments, and improve the end-user experience.
5. Unified structure of service and support
When customers combine PowerEdge servers and PowerVault storage to run their business solutions, they are immediately assured of a successful customer support team working alongside them. Our highly trained service and support professionals will always provide the best level of customer service in the industry. As your business grows rapidly and must cope with all the changes that come with it, Dell Technologies will always be there - at all levels of service. You only need to make one call - to Dell Technologies - your reliable partner.
