CEA selects Seagate ClusterStor
January 2016 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
Seagate Technology plc announced the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) has selected the Seagate ClusterStor™ L300 for its GS1K HPC storage needs.
In collaboration with Atos, CEA chose Seagate ClusterStor, a scale-out data storage and management platform, for its high-speed ability to derive maximum performance from every disk while reducing storage footprint – and ownership costs.
For Phase One of the GS1K infrastructure deployment, Seagate is providing a ClusterStor L300 system with 6-petabyte hard disk drive capacity and over 200GB/sec file system throughput.
“For GS1K, it is critical for CEA to select partners that understand the unique challenges of building solutions at the leading edge of supercomputing,” said Jacques-Charles Lafoucrière, department lead at CEA. “Seagate ClusterStor excels in performance and, over the past few years, ClusterStor has proven its stability in the most demanding HPC environments. Key environmental factors such as density and power requirements also weighed in favor of the ClusterStor solution.”
