Clus\u00adterS\u00adtor E1000<\/span> addres\u00adses the explo\u00adsi\u00adve growth of data from con\u00adver\u00adged workloads and the need to access that data at unpre\u00adce\u00adden\u00adted speed, by offe\u00adring an opti\u00admal balan\u00adce of sto\u00adrage per\u00adfor\u00admance, effi\u00adci\u00aden\u00adcy and sca\u00adla\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adty, effec\u00adtively eli\u00admi\u00adna\u00adting job pipe\u00adline con\u00adges\u00adti\u00adon cau\u00adsed by I\/O bot\u00adt\u00adlen\u00adecks.

\u201c<\/span>To hand\u00adle the mas\u00adsi\u00adve growth in data that cor\u00adpo\u00adra\u00adti\u00adons world\u00adwi\u00adde are deal\u00ading with in their digi\u00adtal trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adti\u00adons, a com\u00adple\u00adte\u00adly new approach to sto\u00adrage is requi\u00adred,\u201d said Peter Unga\u00adro, pre\u00adsi\u00addent and CEO<\/span> of Cray, a Hew\u00adlett Packard Enter\u00adpri\u00adse com\u00adpa\u00adny. \u201cCray\u2019s new sto\u00adrage plat\u00adform is a com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsi\u00adve rethin\u00adking of what high per\u00adfor\u00admance sto\u00adrage means for the Exas\u00adca\u00adle Era. The intel\u00adli\u00adgent soft\u00adware and hard\u00adware design of Clus\u00adterS\u00adtor E1000<\/span> orchestra\u00adtes the data flow with the work\u00adflow \u2013 that\u2019s some\u00adthing no other solu\u00adti\u00adon on the mar\u00adket can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
