NetApp HPC solutions: AI performance on high
If you don’t think we’re living in exciting times, consider how high-performance computing (HPC) is pushing the boundaries of AI. From genomics to financial services, NetApp® HPC solutions continue to lead the way.
Why NetApp for high-performance computing?
Fast. Scalable. Reliable
Talk about keeping pace with extreme AI workloads—NetApp puts the “P” in HPC. Our HPC solutions can deliver up to 2 million random read IOPS and 24GBps sustained write bandwidth per scalable building block (two EF600 systems and two servers).
Scale seamlessly from terabytes to petabytes by adding capacity in any increment—one or multiple drives at a time. And that's with a fault-tolerant design proven to deliver greater than 99.9999% availability. Hello around-the-clock reliability and AI flow state.
Key benefits
To process, store, and analyze massive amounts of data, your operations demand the lightning-fast, highly reliable IT infrastructure that NetApp HPC solutions deliver.
