Cray Sonexion 1300 Data Storage System

The new Cray Sonexion 1300 system is a modular, high performance, high reliability storage system that takes full advantage of the Lustre file system at any scale. The system combines next-generation hardware and software technology into an efficient modular design that scales from terabytes to petabytes and offers optimal reliability, performance and ease of management.

At the heart of the Cray Sonexion scalable storage architecture is the SSU, which consolidates and integrates traditional block storage, network and file system components. Each SSU is a balanced performance, high-capacity building block fully integrated with Lustre according to best practices. Each SSU can deliver 3 GB/sec, each rack can deliver 20 GB/sec and a multi-rack system can deliver up to 500 GB/sec. Each standard 42U rack can store up to 1.15 petabytes of usable file system capacity. Each SSU can deliver 3 GB/sec, each rack can deliver over 20 GB/sec, and a multi-rack system can deliver up to 500 GB/sec of sustained bandwidth using the IOR benchmark.
