Are your HPC and AI compute workloads bottlenecked by slow storage performance?

WekaIO Matrix from HPE is a high performance, scalable, parallel file system that is ideal for AI, technical computing, and mixed workloads. The flash-native, highly resilient, POSIX file system delivers the high IOPS and low latency throughput needed for demanding compute requirements. WekaIO Matrix from HPE provides integrated policy-based tiering, so data can span from NVMe flash to object storage in a single namespace for easy management and cost-effective economics. Native support for the industry-standard S3 interface allows integration with both on-premise and cloud environments.  

Your organization made a significant investment in the compute infrastructure to support your analytics workloads, don't let data accessibility be the bottleneck to the overall productivity of your solution. WekaIO Matrix delivers the performance you need, so your data analysis pipelines will never be stalled waiting for data.

Notes: Sizing for storage servers should be tailored to the specific workload requirement. Bandwidth, IOPS, data protection strategy and average file size should be taken into account for optimal configuration. As such it is recommended that you engage with your Hewlett Packard Enterprise representative to document your individual solution needs and design an environment with required services to deploy.

WekaIO Matrix Ordering Rules

NVMe Storage Tier

• New installations must choose one NVMe Subscription SKU from the list above, according to desired subscription duration (1yr, 3yr, 5yr)
• Choose the quantity of raw storage required, in TB. Each NVMe Storage SKU include entitlement for 1TB of raw NVMe storage capacity.

Optional Object Storage Tier

• NVMe Subscription SKUs include entitlement for 1 TB of raw NVMe storage capacity.
• For additional tiering to object storage, choose a 1yr, 3yr, or 5yr to Tiering SKU from the list above.
• Choose the quantity of incremental usable TBs of object storage.   

Minimum Cluster Size

• The minimum cluster size required for a flash tier is 8 servers. This optimizes data protection and performance through receovery operations.
• The minimum cluster size required for the data node for AI solutions is 6 servers.

General guidelines

EDU/GOV SKUs are offered to education and government customers. All other customers, select equivalent SKUs from the categories above.

License fee is prepaid in full and lasts for the duration listed in the SKU description.

1. 300TB of NVMe Storage and 300TB of tiering to object storage required for three years, select Q9Q95AAE x qty 300.

WekaIO Matrix Upgrade Ordering Rules

• If upgrading an existing installation, the following information is required:
• Existing licensed capacity
• Incremental capacity required
• Duration of existing licenses 

Example 1

• Existing NVMe capacity: 50TB, 3-yr term; object storage = 50TB
• Incremental object storage tiering capacity: 9950TB purchased exactly one year after NVMe capacity was purchased
• Incremental licenses:

Reduced Time to Results Due to High Performance and Microsecond Latency

• Designed for Flash using SATA, SAS, and NVMe SSD technology, the Matrix file system accesses the underlying flash media directly in its native 4KB format so that both small files and large data sets can be processed in less time
• Low latency Infiniband or Ethernet support means that data locality is no longer an issue. Data is dynamically distributed for parallel access, resilience, and consistent performance
• WekaIO Matrix from HPE can leverage a single infrastructure to work on-premises or in the cloud (public or private) and elastically scale to match the requirements of your GPU orresources.

Reduced Capex and Opex Through Improved Resource Utilization

• Full POSIX compliance means applications won't need to be re-written for improved performance.
• This architecture allows shared POSIX-based access to all your data without the requirement for unnecessary copies for data protection, providing full storage resource utilization.
• Supports multi-protocols: POSIX, NFS, SMB, HDFS and S3, allowing one platform to serve your data lifecycle needs.
• WekaIO Matrix from HPE's native S3 storage gateway enables data tiering to any S3-compatible object store for cost effective storage at massive scale

Cloud Scale and Economics for Increased ROI

• Innovative Snap-to-S3 feature enables cloud bursting, remote backup to the cloud, and cloud-based disaster recovery.
• Supports private or hybrid cloud environments without modification.
• With WekaIO Matrix from HPE, you can create a flexible infrastructure tuned for Hewlett Packard Enterprise hardware that can handle peak workloads - but which also scales for performance and capacity growth as system requirements evolve.
• WekaIO Matrix from HPE supports small and large files, random and sequential access, and accelerates metadata access with distributed parallel access.

Design Adapts Easily to Changing Application Needs

• The native flash implementation and support for high-performance interconnect fabrics eliminates the bottlenecks associated with legacy storage approaches, and the solution can be easily monitored, tuned and managed using an intuitive browser-based administration console.
• Supports Ethernet and InfiniBand to 100Gb and beyond, allowing full use of existing network, while accommodating future upgrades for improved performance and low latency. The software-defined platform enables flexible adaptation to future generations of infrastructure.
