A Distributed and Flexible Platform for Large-Scale Data Storage in HPC Systems

The realm of HPC systems lies in sharing computational resources efficiently. Their challenge is to turn massively large data into valuable information and meaningful knowledge. To accomplish this, I/O subsystems have to provide scalable bandwidth and capacity in order to deliver on the increasing demand for their requests. Emerging technologies, new programming paradigms and virtualized environments need novel ways to offer optimised solutions to support heavy data ows in storage services. In this paper, we propose a distributed storage layer on computer nodes that can be used as a robust data storage service to handle intensive I/O operations. Preliminary experiments show that our platform outperforms other distributed data storage solutions
