Mumbai, July 3, 2013– Mumbai, July 3, 2013– Fujitsu today introducesa new initiative making it
easier than ever for companies to harness the power of High Performance
Computing (HPC), with solutions that enable faster product development and
accelerated time to market – plus an intuitive new user interface and complete
system pricing now that is more affordable than ever.
The speed hike in computing performance presents
organizations of all sizes with new opportunities, for example in quickly
validating and exploiting research theories, in speeding up product development
through computer-based modeling, and in finding competitive advantages in the
market by getting a better picture of customers’ buying behavior, through
rapidly analyzing multiple sources of big data.
The use of HPC is increasingly gaining widespread
acceptance in the principal fields of research – where its enhanced computer
processing power is ideally suited to modeling and long-range forecasting, in
analysis, and in production applications from passenger safety through to
molecular dynamics.
Making HPC more widely accessible and easier to use
than ever, the Fujitsu HPC Simplicity concept combines
the Fujitsu Software HPC Cluster Suite (HCS), an immediately optimized x86
HPC cluster solution based on Fujitsu PRIMERGY servers, with a new graphical
user interface-based front end.
Fujitsu HPC Simplicity introduces significant new
software stack enhancements and a simplified, web-based user experience,
while a scalable file systemdramatically improves innovation cycles, by
enabling high-speed parallel distributed processing of very large amounts of
read/write transactions.
For organizations developing new products and
solutions, reducing time to market is often critical to profitability, and HPC
is a vital competitive tool for achieving this, both at the research and development
and at the production stages. Fujitsu HPC Simplicity enables enterprises to
capture the knowledge and expertise that matters to their business, making the
use of HPC easier for experts and more broadly accessible to beginners.
Fujitsu HCS is a comprehensive, purpose-built
software stack that includes a set of fully-validated HPC software components
includingthe HPC Gateway, combining the best-of-breed open source with
proprietary software products such as Altair’s market-leading workload management
software product, PBS Professional, and tools that ensure optimal operation of
the Fujitsu PRIMERGY x86 hardware platforms.
Fujitsu’s innovativescalable file
system, FEFS enables high-speed parallel processing of very large
amounts of read/write I/O from the compute nodes. Very large-scale file systems
with up to 8 Exabytes (8000PB)– enough capacity to store the entire contents of
global internet traffic over a whole week – and supports throughput of 1TB/s.
FEFS also boasts features such as built-in high availability of all components,
fair share I/O management and directory level quotas.
Fujitsu’s portfolio of PRIMERGY servers offers
reliability, quality and performance for HPC users. Incorporating more than 30
years of HPC experience and intellectual property, PRIMERGY provides a complete
ecosystem that helps enterprises operate more efficiently and drive down costs.
PRIMERGY servers also excel in energy efficiency, virtualization features and
sophisticated system management functions.
Dr. Christoph Tietz, Senior Key Expert Engineer,
Siemens AG, Corporate Technology
“Thanks to Fujitsu, we have a stable,
predictable and scalable HPC solution that is helping us make more accurate
simulations of the copper and energy markets. This allows us to make the best
decisions in a rapidly changing market. The new cluster is stable and because
it is homogeneous – running on the same kernels – we can predict exactly how
long each simulation will take. And we don’t have to share the computing
resource so we can use it to run our simulations 24x7. That means we are
getting a lot more done.”
Dr. Bill Nitzberg, Chief Technology
Officer, Altair’s PBS Works
“We are proud Fujitsu chose PBS Professional
for the HPC Cluster Suite Advanced Edition, providing the best available
workload management for HPC users. With this solution, Fujitsu and Altair are
continuing our leadership in market-leading computing solutions that are easy
to adopt and use. This integrated offering provides a first-rate cluster
solution for application users who need to get up and running quickly with a
high performance system that just works,”
Pallab Talukdar, CEO of Fujitsu India
“Fujitsu HPC Simplicity brings faster,
high-end computing within the reach of mid-size and growing companies for the first
time. Affordable HPC systems help companies realize their strategic objectives,
and the huge computing power means that no data processing or calculation job
is too big, or will take too long. Fujitsu offerings enable our customers to
increase efficiency and effectiveness of their datacenter infrastructure
considerably. We are pleased to be able to offer our world renowned HPC
solutions now to customers in India.”
