Dell Technologies offers a wide range of general purpose and HPC storage solutions. For a general overview of the Dell HPC solution portfolio, see the Dell Technologies High Performance Computing page.
The Dell PowerScale A300 is recommended for a general-purpose NAS storage solution. PowerScale A300 provides a raw storage capacity of 120 TB to 75 PB and sufficient performance for modest-sized HPC systems. For larger HPC systems, the Dell PowerScale F600 all-flash NAS, with raw storage capacity of 15.36 TB to 122.8 TB, provides a significant performance benefit compared to the PowerScale A300. For HPC systems requiring a high-performance parallel file system, the Dell Validated Design for BeeGFS storage in the high-performance configuration is recommended. This solution provides 25.6 TB of raw storage capacity per storage server and can be expanded to any required storage capacity.
