Adding complexity and integration challenges, the design needed to be able to accommodate a considerable increase in memory channels over the previous generation platform. This had to be accomplished without increasing both the layer count and the cost of the board. \u00a0It required computing engineering expertise to maximize the power of the latest processor architectures to work seamlessly with the customer\u2019s software allowing them to offer a significant leap forward in performance of any large-scale storage solution.\u00a0 Unprecedented support for more than 70 SAS drives and almost 50 PCIe Gen 3 NVMe drives had to be part of the HPC solution.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOLUTION<\/strong>: Using the company\u2019s vast experience, engineering talent, and knowledge of high-performance platforms, PARPRO got the project back on track. Armed with proven project organizational procedures and superior technical support, the team expertly managed the development process.\u00a0 Customized to the customer\u2019s strict requirements, PARPRO\u2019s HPC solution offers the next-generation features needed to handle enormous amounts of data, faster with the lowest latency by harnessing the power of today\u2019s advanced technologies and balancing them with the customer\u2019s leading storage capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>The high-density computing platform delivered features supercharged computing technologies including the Intel\u00ae Dual Xeon\u00ae server-class processor. Providing a totally new and unique design based on a sophisticated new processor architecture allows this new large data storage blade to take advantage of operational efficiencies provided by isolated workloads configured to dynamically share common resources.\u00a0 For instance, it supports up to four tasks or software threads and can run both 64-bit and 32-bit applications allowing developers to powerfully consolidate numerous operating systems, applications, and workloads onto a single platform.<\/p>\n<p>Using the advanced Intel OPA fabric enabled the PARPRO HPC to support the extreme workload balancing this design required via a variety of routing methods, including defining alternate routes that disperse traffic flows for redundancy while maintaining performance.\u00a0 In addition, because many connected devices and systems today support native PCIe, PARPRO\u2019s HPEC can immediately use existing infrastructure further reducing latency, power and associated costs for discrete cards.<\/p>\n<p>Also, this kind of intense workload design required optimizing thermal management for trusted reliability. The design incorporates an air guide and multiple active heat sinks expertly tested and validated. PARPRO used state-of-the-art thermal modeling tools and techniques to accurately measure temperature, airflow and heat transfer in components, boards and throughout the entire system.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BENEFITS<\/strong>: The successful completion of the HPEC design presents mutual opportunities to open doors for PARPRO and their customer.\u00a0 For the customer, data intensive computing is what is propelling large storage system evolution offering the ability to leverage and manage huge data growth.<\/p>\n<p>The customer gains a competitive edge in offering an industry-leading storage solution that truly can handle immense amounts of data and the ability to analyze it fast. Through PARPRO\u2019s purpose-built design, the customer received a scalable solution that can be leveraged across its entire portfolio of high-capacity storage appliances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt PARPRO, we have earned our leadership position by solving complex design challenges while cost-effectively minimizing margin stacks throughout the value chain,\u201d said Thomas Sparrvik, CEO, PARPRO. \u201cDuring our meetings with the storage customer, they commented on how they continue to be impressed by our extensive software, processor architecture, form factor and power envelope know-how that enabled them to meet the project\u2019s board layout limitations while satisfying their prototype timetable and cost goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This project also holds additional opportunities for PARPRO to extend its relationship with the customer. They are interested in the company\u2019s complete end-to-end ODM services to ensure manufacturing and after-market programs are managed and accomplished just as successfully.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Established HPC Configuration Knowledge, Project Development Processes Help Take Storage System Capabilities to the Next Level PARPRO expertise make&#8217;s simple work of the most complex designs PROBLEM:\u00a0 More complex than the average HPC design, the&#8230; <br \/><a class=\"read-more link-arrow\" title=\"FULL STORY\" href=\"https:\/\/parpro.com\/2019\/02\/28\/hpc-design-that-matches-the-speed-of-data-storage-innovation\/\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2835,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[118],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-2833","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-blog","8":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>HPC Design that Matches the Speed of Data Storage Innovation | PARPRO<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/parpro.com\/2019\/02\/28\/hpc-design-that-matches-the-speed-of-data-storage-innovation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"HPC Design that Matches the Speed of Data Storage Innovation | PARPRO\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Established HPC Configuration Knowledge, Project Development Processes Help Take Storage System Capabilities to the Next Level PARPRO expertise make&#8217;s simple work of the most complex designs PROBLEM:\u00a0 More complex than the average HPC design, the...
