The Dell Validated Design for HPC pixstor Storage is a high-performance file system solution that is efficient, easy to manage, fully supported, multitier, scalable in throughput and in capacity, and with components to allow connecting it using standard protocols like NFS, SMB, or Cloud. The solution is based on the latest PowerEdge servers and PowerVault ME4 storage arrays, PowerEdge servers with NVMe PCIe 4 devices, and pixstor software from arcastream, with components like Spectrum Scale (GPFS).
Future work will be an upgrade of the storage to the PowerVault ME5084 arrays, with sequential specs per array of 12 GB/s for reads and 10 GB/s for writes.
