Ideal for...
Performance - Business Processing
- or business intelligence applications with heavy workloads
- The computational and storage needs of workloads in several areas such as scientific and technical computing, games, digital media, and data analytics are growing exponentially
Web
- Search - Load-balanced web back-end servicing dynamic HTML pages
- Storage - Single namespace networked file system layer for ease of management and shared access.
- Back end - Load-balanced web front-end servicing dynamic HTML pages
Data Repositories
- For business intelligence applications with heavy workloads
- The computational and storage needs of workloads in several areas such as scientific and technical computing, games, digital media, and data analytics are growing exponentially
- The processors handle tasks such as indexing or deciding which data should be shuttled from fast disks to slower tape. Eventually, such systems will be very busy handling, managing and retrieving data
- Flexible ratio of storage to processors to meet a variety of situations--including tasks such as archiving data that requires more processing abilities than stand-alone storage systems can supply Performance
