SC23: Sandia National Laboratories and DDN Collaboration Delivers Next Gen Storage Solution for Future DOE Systems
StorageNewsletter.com, Wednesday, November 15,2023
Sandia National Laboratories and DataDirect Networks, Inc. (DDN) have partnered over the last 3.5+ years to design a next gen parallel storage system to meet the needs of current and future scientific workloads executing on large-scale HPC systems.
This partnership has resulted in designing extensions for their new product, Infinia, which targets HPC storage workloads with simplicity and strong data management features as its core principles. This will bring the world's fastest object store to bear on HPC's hardest storage problems.
This partnership is the result of the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) post-Exascale-Computing-Initiative-Portfolio, intended to have a demonstratable impact on NNSA's Advanced Simulation Computing (ASC) mission capabilities. This project has enabled Sandia and its partner Department of Energy (DOE) laboratories to influence the Infinia product during its critical design phase.
