Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) has
selected Dell Compellent arrays to provide high-performance and
large capacity storage for its growing, private cloud environment
that supports its students and researchers. With initial available
capacity of three petabytes, the new storage infrastructure is one
of the world’s largest Dell Compellent implementations. The new
Dell Compellent infrastructure will enable JAIST to access
information quickly and efficiently protect large amounts of
important research data.
The new storage arrays will bolster the storage capabilities of
FRONTIER (FRONT Information EnviRonment), a campus IT platform
constructed to support advanced teaching and research activities at
JAIST, which specializes in graduate-level education and research.
JAIST is strengthening their IT environment to help further advance
its world-class research. As the core of this system, a private
cloud environment is being implemented with the aim to improve
convenience for users and help achieve low cost, high energy
efficiency and streamlined management by centralizing hardware
resources.
“With advancements to the Dell Fluid Data architecture and the
enterprise capabilities of Dell Compellent storage arrays, an
increasing number of customers are turning to Dell for large-scale
storage deployments,” said Alan Atkinson, vice president and
general manager of Dell Storage. “JAIST’s selection of Dell
Compellent is the latest example of our ability to efficiently and
cost effectively offer both performance and protection to power
business-critical workloads.”
JAIST adopted Dell storage for FRONTIER to centralize the
management of large research data sets created and accessed by
individual researchers and teams. In order to deliver necessary
data for the users’ research activities quickly and with high
reliability, JAIST replaced two previous systems with Dell
Compellent, providing a combination of both high performance and
high capacity to manage a large volume of data in one solution.
When updating its centralized storage system, JAIST faced a
number of challenges, including achieving fast data access and
constructing efficient back-up for large data sets. Another key
requirement for JAIST was to eliminate the issue of depleted IPv4
addresses and build an efficient storage infrastructure with IPv6
compatibility. Through Dell Compellent’s support of IPv6, JAIST can
extend its infrastructure to the required scale provided by the new
128-bit addressing scheme.
Dell was chosen to help solve these challenges and greatly
improve the performance of JAIST’s storage capabilities. With Dell
Compellent’s automated data tiering technology, JAIST can benefit
from both the performance and capacity from a single system, which
previously had been managed separately. The Dell Compellent system
also provides:
- Automated data tiering allows for
automated management and movement of data between a combination of
SSD and SAS drives, and enables fast data access and high-capacity
with fewer disks
- Compatibility with IPv6 using Dell
Compellent zNAS to build an efficient storage infrastructure
- Advanced snapshot features, which
provide efficient storage of only the changes made to stored data
for fast local recovery
- Advanced replication feature that only
replicates changed data provides disaster recovery for petabytes of
data
