The Validated Design for HPC PixStor Storage is a high-performance solution that is very efficient, easy to manage, fully supported, multi-tier, scalable in throughput and in capacity. It also connects via standard protocols like NFS, SMB or cloud. The solution is based on PowerEdge servers and PowerVault ME4 storage arrays, and PixStor software from ArcaStream.
The next work will be an addendum for the solution about PowerEdge servers used as the NVMe tier, including performance characterization to enable clear guidance on which server better suits particular needs, and/or reduce the options if appropriate.
