Sycomp Storage enables you to run your high performance computing (HPC), AI/ML and big data workloads in Google Cloud. With our solution you can concurrently access data from thousands of VMs, reduce costs by automatically managing tiers of storage and run your application on-premises or in Google Cloud. Sycomp Storage is available in the Google Marketplace, can be deployed in minutes and supports access to your data via NFS and the native IBM Storage Scale client.
This document provides architectural guidance to help you design and deploy a POSIX compliant file system for HPC, big data or other applications that require a high level of storage performance using Sycomp Storage.
This document was written for technical personnel responsible for designing or deploying POSIX compliant file systems using Sycomp Storage.
Sycomp chose IBM Storage Scale because it is a proven parallel filesystem that securely manages large volumes of data. The high performance, feature rich filesystem is well suited for HPC, AI/ML, big data and other applications requiring a POSIX compliant shared filesystem. With adaptable storage capacity and performance scaling Sycomp Storage can support your demanding workloads.
You choose how you want to access your data stored in IBM Storage Scale. You can use NFS and the native Storage Scale client. Adding storage or nodes is easy and can be done while the data remains online. This means that you can easily start small and grow a cluster.
