High performance scaling and seamless growth

The UDS Cluster NAS system lets you scale storage and processing independently and seamlessly, online. Because an application may need to scale either storage or processing, or both, this capability gives you a lot of flexibility.  One of the key inhibitors to scale-out computing is the requirement to provide a shared storage infrastructure for compute nodes while enabling the ability to increase compute power as applications’ performance needs dictate.  The UDS NAS system solves both of these issues by providing a highly scalable and shared storage platform at the storage tier while facilitating heterogeneous sharing on

the compute tier.  The UDS FileStore cluster can scale up to 16 nodes with near linear performance scaling. When using 16-node clusters, extremely high throughput performance numbers can be obtained. You can begin with a small dual node UDS cluster and add processing power one node at a time, rather than buying a large, expensive system up front. The UDS solution provides industry leading performance and is excellent for small and also large file performance.

Active/Active Scalable NFS

With the UDS, all nodes in the cluster can serve the same NFS shares as both read and write. This creates very high aggregated throughput rates, because you can use sum of the bandwidth of all nodes. Cache-coherency is maintained throughout the cluster.

Active/Active CIFS

CIFS is active on all nodes within the UDS cluster. The specific shares are read/write on the node they reside on, but can failover to any other node in the cluster. The UDS supports CIFS home directory shares.

Capacity Scaling

• Up to 2 PB in a single cluster
