Storage

The HPC PERUN storage system represents a high-performance and scalable data infrastructure designed for the processing, storage, and long-term archiving of scientific data. It is built to support the entire data lifecycle from real-time computation to the secure preservation of research results.

    The storage architecture consists of three functional tiers, each complementing the others based on the nature and requirements of user workloads:

    1. Scratch storage

    A high-speed working area intended for temporary data generated during active computations.

    • Configuration: 1× SMU server HPE E2000, 1× MDU HPE E2000, 6× SSU-F HPE E2000 (2U32)
    • Technologies: Lustre, gridRAID
    • Capacity: ~730 TB (excluding gridRAID redundancy)
    • Connectivity: 400 Gbit InfiniBand

    This tier is optimized for maximum throughput and parallel access, enabling efficient processing of large-scale computational workloads.

    2. Performance User Tier

    A user workspace focused on reliability and rapid responsiveness for active data processing and daily operational tasks.

    • Configuration: 2× NetApp AFF C60
    • Capacity: 189 TB (excluding RAID)
    • RAID Level: RAID-DP
    • Connectivity: 8× 100 Gbit

    This layer provides high performance for common user operations, development activities, and data processing within ongoing projects.

    3. Capacity Archival Tier

    A secure and reliable storage environment dedicated to long-term data preservation, research results, and large datasets.

    • Configuration: 6× NetApp AFF A90, 1× NetApp FAS 70
    • Capacity: approximately 5 PB
    • RAID Levels: RAID-DP, RAID-TEC
    • Connectivity: 14× 4× 200 Gbit

    This part of the system is designed for maximum reliability, availability, and data protection over the long term.

    Thanks to this multi-tiered architecture, the HPC PERUN storage system delivers exceptional performance, flexibility, and security, supporting users throughout all stages of the computational process from data creation to final archiving.
