Rise of shared services / convergence of compute + big data – Need to support any/all distributed applications (heterogeneous compute + big data) in a common infrastructure 3. Clusters Grids HPC Clouds – From single purpose static clusters to workload-driven flexible and dynamic HPC cloud resources 4. Integrated solutions vs. components – Focus on building comprehensive integrated systems – Easy-to-use, optimized for workloads, and ready-to-run

It is fulfilled as an integrated and tested solution. • Enhanced data protection • Up to 400% faster complete disk rebuild time, up to 20x faster for Critical Data rebuild Solution summary GSS is an entirely Blue-on-Blue solution, built on standard System x components with GPFS software tuned to support this configuration. There are two models – Model 24 and Model 26. Each model has two x3650 M4 servers twin-tailed with either four or six JBODs, with up to 348 disk drives. This solution leverages the high demand for GPFS software and couples it with a System x hardware solution, and is provided exclusively through the Intelligent Cluster portfolio. GSS is easy to configure and buy. It offers great performance and scalability for clients, with no storage controllers and is built on a “building block” approach. System x® GPFS™ Storage Server High Capacity, High Performance, Cost Effective Storage Solution
