Lenovo High Performance File System Solution with WEKA Data Platform
This solution brief outlines how this partnership accelerates high-performance and technical compute workloads.
What is the Lenovo High Performance File System Solution?
The Lenovo High Performance File System Solution with the WEKA Data Platform is a modern data infrastructure designed to address the challenges posed by data-intensive applications in fields like AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing. It is built on Lenovo ThinkSystem servers and aims to eliminate the complexities of legacy storage systems, providing high performance and scalability while meeting the stringent storage demands of various industry workloads.
How does this solution improve performance for data-intensive applications?
The solution delivers over 10 times the performance of traditional all-flash scale-out NAS and three times more than locally attached NVMe SSDs. It achieves this by utilizing a modern NVMe-optimized, distributed file system that ensures high throughput, low latency, and excellent metadata performance, which is essential for keeping high-performance applications well-supplied with data.
What are the scalability options for this storage solution?
The solution is designed to be flexible, allowing users to start with a minimum configuration and scale as needed. For initial deployment, Lenovo recommends a setup of six ThinkSystem servers, which can be expanded to meet increasing performance and capacity requirements. This scalability ensures that organizations can adapt their storage infrastructure to evolving data demands without significant upfront investment.
