CINECA Powers Up High-Performance Virtualized Storage With IBM

Tags:
storage management

Overview CINECA is the largest High-Performance Computing (HPC) centre in Italy, and one of the most important worldwide. The center wanted to provide high-performance storage services to academic and commercial users; support large data volumes and multiple file systems; keep management costs low and flexibility high; and accelerate the flow of data from one computing platform to another. Working with IBM, CINECA implemented an ambitious new storage architecture: a Storage Area Network (SAN) based around six IBM TotalStorage DS4500 disk arrays, with IBM TotalStorage SAN Volume Controller and IBM TotalStorage SAN File System software.
