Service or cloud computing offers significant cost and scalability benefits for businesses. Businesses leveraging service based information technologies must mitigate privacy, security, and portability risks. The risks are manageable and, in light of the benefits, businesses should pursue a cloud computing strategy where feasible.
The expanded simulation requirement imposed by RMS’ customers has driven the company to analyze next generation NAS solutions for the organization’s high performance computing environments. Before the simulation requirements, the RMS storage strategy emphasized a single vendor NAS solution. The challenges presented by adding thousands of cores of high performance compute capability per quarter has caused the company to adapt the storage strategy to include a next generation NAS solutions that provide more scalable performance.
The modern world creates and stores digital information at an accelerating and large rate. The exponential growth of stored digital information presents cost and management challenges. Several modern technologies, including data de-duplication, hierarchical storage management, and grid storage offer potential solutions to information management challenges by improving the efficiency of underlying storage devices. A review of the literature is conducted to provide a summary of current research regarding information and storage management strategies and technologies.
Supercomputing provides large-scale computational resources for solving the largest and most challenging scientific problems, including issues like weather and protein folding simulations. Seymour Cray was a major influence on the architecture of silicon-based, electronic supercomputers. Modern supercomputers continue to be architected using silicon-based electronics and the designs suggested by Cray. However, several new architectures are emerging for computers that are not based on silicon electronics. These new architectures leverage biological, molecular, and quantum physics effects to perform computation in novel ways that promise to solve scientific problems that are intractable to silicon-based, electronic supercomputers. A review of the research literature on supercomputer architecture and emerging non-silicon computers reveals several potential research opportunities.
