Lustre – A Global Parallel Filesystem
The Lustre file system is a parallel file system that is used in a wide range of HPC environment, such as oil and gas, small to large, seismic processing and scientific research for addressing a common problem that they all share together and that is the ever-increasing large amounts of data being created and needing to be processed in a timely manner. In fact, in world’s top 500 HPC sites this is most broadly used filesystems.
NEC LXFS-z
The NEC LXFS-z parallel file system consist of the building blocks to is not dependable of high-cost hardware RAID controller, which is motivated to provide data integrity and redundancy features in software. The software promotes the configuration maintaining software of the appliance together with selected and tuned hardware components.
The NEC LXFS-z implementation in our open-source-based on parallel file system is triggered by the paradigm shift, the move from hardware RAID controller based storage to software RAID systems based on high density object storage targets from ldiskfs/ext4 to ZFS file systems on top of RAIDZ2 disk pools
NEC LXFS
NEC LXFS is a solution based on storage devices with a hardware RAID capability, NEC have also selected some specific hardware components and move the NEC softwae to configure Lustre and installation to its best in all considered ways. Both NEC LXFS and NEC LXFS-z are based on standardized building blocks configured in a high availibility configuration removing or reducing any single point of failure.
