No Vendor Lock-In, No Data Tax
Data-intensive innovation demands more than just compute power. Whether you are running complex simulations, training deep learning models, or processing high-resolution data, performance hinges on how quickly and efficiently data can move.
HPC and AI environments are built for speed, but traditional storage architectures often become the bottleneck. While CPUs and GPUs keep getting faster, legacy data infrastructures rely on fragmented, manually managed tiers that simply can’t feed compute fast enough. The result? Pipeline slowdowns, underutilized resources, and wasted time.
Scratch storage fills up with unmanaged files. Data is scattered across silos, hard to find, and expensive to keep on fast storage.
Without automation, teams are left chasing files, manually recalling datasets, and constantly firefighting to keep performance on track.
- Are your GPUs sitting idle while waiting on data to load?
- Does your scratch storage keep filling up with files that never move?
- Are you manually staging or recalling data between tiers?
- Is your team struggling to manage datasets spread across multiple systems or locations?
- Do costs keep rising because cold data stays on high-performance storage?
- Are you using cloud bursting, or is it too complex to integrate?
Eliminate the Bottlenecks with High-Speed Tier-0 Scratch
In HPC and AI workflows, Tier-0 scratch storage is where data moves the fastest – or at least, it should. But too often, it becomes a performance choke point, bogged down by file clutter, capacity constraints, or I/O limitations.
DataCore Nexus delivers a high-performance, software-defined parallel file system purpose-built for demanding HPC and AI environments. Designed to keep up with the pace of modern compute, it delivers ultra-low latency and consistent throughput even at scale and even at 99% capacity.
With up to 180 GB/s read performance in a compact 4U form factor, Nexus keeps GPUs and CPUs continuously fed, eliminates job stalls, and ensures scratch is always ready for what’s next.
Nexus leverages NVMe-powered infrastructure and supports POSIX, NVMe-oF, NFS, and SMB access to deliver ultra-low-latency I/O across your compute pipeline. It is engineered for petabyte-scale environments and operates with no proprietary lock-in or format tax, giving you performance without compromise.
Automate the Data Lifecycle with Policy-Driven Orchestration
In high-performance environments, data doesn’t stay in one place. It flows: from Tier-0 scratch to home directories, from active datasets to deep archive, from on-premises systems to cloud. But managing that lifecycle manually slows everything down.
Nexus automates this process with intelligent, policy-driven orchestration. Files move between tiers based on real-time usage, project needs, or workflow triggers – no manual intervention, no custom scripts, no surprises.
Need to offload stale data from scratch automatically? Pre-stage input files for a scheduled job? Recall archived datasets transparently the moment they are accessed? Nexus makes it happen, so data is always in the right place, at the right time, without disrupting your workflows.
The result: leaner infrastructure, cleaner scratch space, fewer operational headaches, and more time focused on research, development, and results.
Simplify Collaboration with a Unified Global Namespace
When datasets are spread across different systems, sites, or storage types, collaboration slows to a crawl. Researchers, engineers, and analysts lose time chasing files, waiting on transfers, or duplicating data across teams – all while risking version conflicts and inconsistent results.
Nexus removes these barriers with a unified global namespace that brings all your unstructured data together, no matter where it is stored: on-premises, in the cloud, or across hybrid environments. Users and applications see a single, consistent view of the data they need, with secure access controls that respect your organizational structure.
Whether you are supporting a global research project, a distributed AI training workflow, or multi-site HPC operations, Nexus ensures that data is discoverable, accessible, and consistent from anywhere without replication, reformatting, or complexity.
Scale Smarter, Not Harder
As HPC and AI workloads grow, your storage must scale in both performance and flexibility. DataCore Nexus expands to support petabytes and billions of files without disrupting workflows or slowing down compute.
It also connects seamlessly to object storage, tape, and cloud, letting you manage your entire data ecosystem – across all tiers and locations – as one integrated environment. And when demand spikes, Nexus supports cloud bursting, delivering data on-demand to cloud compute without manual staging or duplication. You scale out when needed, scale back when done – all while keeping control and visibility.
