Requirements around big data, such as I/O performance at scale, will continue to drive the market for Lustre-based storage appliances. -- Steve Butler, Terascala's CEO
Boston, Mass. (PRWEB) January 20, 2015
Terascala, the industry leader in High Performance Computing (HPC) storage management software, today announced that it had more than doubled—126% increase—its year-over-year OEM bookings and had a record year for its business in 2014. The company attributes its success to customers requiring shrink-wrapped HPC storage appliances with a fast open source Lustre® file system in conjunction with Terascala’s TeraOS software to manage data, performance and reliability. Terascala’s OEMs—Dell and NetApp—have also recently refreshed their solutions to keep them on the cutting edge of performance and capacity, that will enable the growth trend to continue this year. Terascala’s stellar growth rate is an indication that HPC and big data storage customers realize the importance of having intelligent management software governing their storage solutions.
Terascala’s TeraOS software is embedded in the Dell HPC Storage Solution (HSS) offerings and the NetApp High Performance Storage Solution (HPSS) for Lustre. It has attracted quite a customer following with a long list of marquee names including Cummins, Westinghouse, Grundfos, Novartis, Honeywell, Beatson, MIT, John Hopkins University, Cornell, Translational Genomics Research Institute, and the National Cancer Institute. Terascala’s customers want to avoid the headaches that come with rolling their own HPC storage solution and dedicating resources to support it. To meet the needs of their users, they require Lustre storage systems that are available around-the-clock and optimized for performance.
“In our selection process, dedicating resources to standing-up and managing HPC storage wasn’t an option,” declared Damian Doyle, director of enterprise infrastructure and support at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC).
Terascala is also expanding its global footprint with recent new customers in Europe. “I expect Europe and Asia-Pac to be growth engines for the company,” remarked Steve Butler, Terascala's chief executive officer. “Requirements around big data, such as I/O performance at scale, will continue to drive the market for Lustre-based storage appliances.”
