HPC Storage System
Tiered storage architecture for HPC workloads: NVMe scratch, parallel file system and archive. BeeGFS, Lustre and NFS solutions.
In HPC environments, the storage infrastructure directly determines CPU and GPU utilization rates — it is a critical component. Mevasis unlocks the full potential of your compute resources through tiered HPC storage architectures comprising NVMe scratch, parallel file system and archive layers. We provide end-to-end support with BeeGFS and Lustre installation, configuration and optimization services.
A properly tiered design matches each data class to the most economical storage technology, so hot datasets run at NVMe speed while cold archives cost little to keep. Every tier is validated against real workload benchmarks before handover.
Key Features
NVMe Scratch Layer
Store your active compute data at maximum speed with sub-100 µs latency and tens of GB/s of aggregate bandwidth across the cluster. This scratch tier is ideal for checkpoint files, intermediate results and hot datasets. It dramatically reduces the time CPUs and GPUs spend waiting on I/O.
BeeGFS and Lustre Parallel FS
Proven parallel file systems such as BeeGFS and Lustre allow hundreds of nodes to access data concurrently, scaling to hundreds of GB/s. Data is striped across many servers and disks to deliver high aggregate throughput. This keeps large simulations and training jobs moving at full speed.
Capacity and Archive Layer
Low-cost HDD, Ceph or tape library-based infrastructure provides petabyte-scale long-term data retention. Archive policies automate the movement of old data out of expensive high-speed tiers. This balances cost and capacity for data you must keep but rarely access.
InfiniBand Network Integration
HDR/NDR InfiniBand and a fat-tree topology provide maximum bisection bandwidth between storage servers and compute nodes. This guarantees that storage throughput is never constrained by the network. The result is a balanced architecture where every tier performs to specification.
Frequently Asked Questions
In workloads such as simulation, machine learning training, genomic analysis or CFD, hundreds of compute nodes access the same data set simultaneously — and standard NAS or SAN solutions fall short. When bandwidth bottlenecks occur, when file sizes exceed the terabyte range, or when the existing storage tier is suppressing CPU and GPU utilization rates, a tiered HPC storage architecture should be chosen.
Mevasis has an expert engineering team specializing in BeeGFS and Lustre installation and configuration. We analyze your current workload to determine the correct tier sizing, and carry out end-to-end installation — from hardware selection and OS tuning through network optimization to monitoring integration. Post-delivery maintenance and performance monitoring services are also available.
