Pavilion Data Systems announced that EngineRoom chose
Pavilion to deliver NVMe-oF technology powering Australia's leading
High-Performance Computing Cloud. EngineRoom also saved significant data
center space by partnering with Pavilion to focus on creating new data
storage capabilities to improve HPCaaS analytics.
EngineRoom
is taking advantage of the extreme high performance and low latency of
the Pavilion HyperOS and HyperParallel Flash Array (HFA) to accelerate
HPCaaS workloads. Pavilion replaced two full racks from a leading NAS
provider with its HyperOS and its 4 rack-unit HFA. This deployment not
only saved significant data center space but also delivered superior
performance compared to the two-full-rack solution. The industry-leading
data scientists at EngineRoom deployed Pavilion with the GPU clusters
in order to push the boundaries of possibility to develop and simulate
medical breakthroughs, increase crop yields, calculate re-entry points
for spacecraft, identify dark matter, predict credit defaults, render
blockbuster VFX, and give machine vision to robotics and UAVs.
"We
are a best-in-class HPCaaS provider and treat our customers as
partners. We offer infrastructure for hosting, but we also provide
Australia's leading data scientists with the ability to help design,
implement, and manage AI/ML/DL pipelines," stated Jonathan Buchanan,
Chief Customer and Commercial Officer of EngineRoom. "In the past, the
number of storage controllers in an array limited our ability to support
multi-tenancy and failover without performance degradation. With
Pavilion we are no longer limited."
"This
partnership is right in our wheelhouse," explains Dario Zamarian, CEO
of Pavilion. "EngineRoom supports more than 2,000 applications including
ANSYS, Autodesk, and AI/ML tools like TensorFlow, along with every
possible database to help customers supercharge their data journey. In
addition, Pavilion HyperOS and HyperParallel technology are ideal for
HPCaaS given the performance, density, and high availability of our
solutions to accelerate analytics and optimize GPU-based computing."
"We
looked at various storage providers, and ultimately it came down to
IOPS, capacity, and density," explains Stefan Gillard, Founder and CEO
of EngineRoom. "We need NVMe-oF, GPU acceleration, and the fastest HPC
stack. Pavilion is a hidden gem in the data storage landscape."
