Today at Supercomputing 2016 in Salt Lake City, Utah, Seagate Technology plc announced the latest addition to its family of scale-out storage systems for high-performance computing (HPC), ClusterStor 300N. The 300N features a flash cache accelerator and Nytro Intelligent I/O Manager. Seagate will be demonstrating its new ClusterStor 300N at booth #1209 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Seagate will be demonstrating its new ClusterStor 300N at booth #1209 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.
As stated, ClusterStor 300N uses Nytro Intelligent I/O Manager to run multiple mixed workloads simultaneously on the same storage platform. These means bottlenecks created by data demands outpacing storage can now be eliminated. Without these bottlenecks companies will be able to run multiple applications on the same platform without the usual performance issues. This is especially attractive to industries like seismic processing, financial transition modeling, machine learning, geospatial intelligence and fluid dynamics where mixed and unpredictable workloads are more common.
The ClusterStor 300N is the culmination of Seagate’s various technologies including their HDDs, SSD technology, and controller technology. Seagate states that not only can the 300N handle massive amounts of data at high performance, it can minimize cost and improve cost efficiency when managing large data sets with unpredictable workloads. Seagate also makes the claim that by using its Nytro Intelligent I/O Manager, users can see a 1,000% increase in I/O workload acceleration over traditional HPC storage systems. The ClusterStor 300N is architected specifically as a common platform for both the ClusterStor Lustre and IBM Spectrum Scale storage systems as the L300 and G300, respectively.
Along with the 300N, Seagate will be demonstrating some of its other technology at Supercomputing 2016. These include its 720TB, 2U Lustre storage system, as well as a single NVMe over a Fabric, 24-drive all flash array which they state can hit over 4.8 million IOPS with single-digit microsecond latency.
Availability
Seagate ClusterStor 300N is expected to be available in January 2017.
