LSI and Terascala partner to drive storage sales used in high-end computers

LSI and Terascala are partnering to sell their integrated parallel storage solutions in the high-performance computing (HPC) market. Under the terms of the agreement, the LSI Engenio 7900 HPC storage system will be integrated with the Terascala DTS 4000 parallel file storage appliance.

This newly launched combined parallel storage system is designed to provide high-level data integrity for large-scale parallel storage systems. Built using LSI's XBB2 architecture, the 7900 HPC storage system is suggested for computing environments that store and utilize vast amounts of data for high-bandwidth and mixed-workload applications.

"Every year, high-performance computing applications become more complex and the demand for increased processing power, storage performance and data reliability intensifies," said Larry Genovesi, CEO of Terascala, Inc. "Terascala's proven parallel storage appliances deliver a combination of throughput, capacity and cost effectiveness that cannot be achieved with conventional architectures. The integration of the LSI 7900 HPC storage system into our solution opens the door to the next level of storage performance and system reliability."

"The LSI Engenio 7900 storage system is trusted by leading server OEMs and end customers to deliver continuous high-speed data accessibility and protection across a wide range of HPC application workloads," said Steve Hochberg, senior director, Worldwide HPC Segment, LSI Corporation. "The integration of the 7900 HPC system with the new Terascala DTS 4000 storage appliance offers customers a cost-effective, turnkey solution for meeting the unique computing requirements of HPC installations."
