'The company's 'The Storage Challenge' presentation addresses the challenges
and solutions that face government high performance computing applications - a
must-attend, must-see event'
WASHINGTON, March 7 /PRNewswire/ -- DataDirect Networks, the world's
leading provider of high performance, high capacity network storage solutions
for high performance computing (HPC), internet based services and rich media,
will present a paper entitled 'The Storage Challenge' at this year's FOSE
2006, the nation's premiere technology event for the government. Randy
Kreiser, Chief Storage Architect at DataDirect Networks, will give a
presentation on March 8th at 10:35am in the Washington Convention Center in
Room 144C, Ground Level. Mr. Kreiser will share the stage with other
presenters from APPRO, Raytheon, AMD and Mellanox at the private workshop
'Building a State-of-the-Art Enterprise Supercomputer', from 9am to 1pm EST.
"The FOSE show has always been the premiere platform for manufacturers to
present their technology and ideas to governmental agencies looking to learn
and adopt new technologies and processes," said Mr. Kreiser. This must-attend
workshop provides the attendees with an in-depth look at the latest
technologies and best practices for High Performance Computing applications.
Added Mr. Kreiser, "This workshop has great significance in light of the
government's tight fiscal policy and scrutiny on expenditures for new
technologies affecting compute intensive applications, and we are pleased to
be a part of it."
In his presentation 'The Storage Challenge', Mr. Kreiser will outline some
of the challenges and solutions developed by storage vendors to address the
unrelenting demands of scientific computing at a supercomputing scale.
Further, he addresses how InfiniBand and DataDirect's award winning Silicon
Storage Appliance (S2A) enables the creation of differentiated HPC storage
solutions, like the company's S2A9500, that offers unsurpassed performance,
high availability, cost effective scalability and simplified storage
management. This innovative storage system delivers a lower total cost of
ownership, strong ROI and infrastructure choice to government agencies.
Building a high-performance, parallel networked computing environment
using commodity CPU and storage devices results in a complex, hard to scale
and hard to manage systems. Native InfiniBand storage systems, like the
S2A9500, are designed to eliminate this complexity and enable the next
innovation in performance and scalability by collapsing network and channel
fabrics into one consolidated interconnect. This consolidated fabric will
enable cost-effective parallel computing and it's required parallel I/O.
Another key technology enabler is a parallel access InfiniBand storage
solution which uses a parallel storage architecture to minimize the
encumbrances of the physical hardware stack and software protocol stack,
allowing for the next generation innovation in bandwidth at a vastly reduced
system cost.
