When the University of Illinois' National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) kicked off, the project managers knew they'd need a scalable parallel file system capable of meeting the staggering requirements of one of the most powerful supercomputers in the world.

To find out where the NCSA leaders found such a storage solution, access this paper, which parallels modern breakthroughs in science with breakthroughs in storage - and see how modern storage systems have allowed for many scientific developments. Read on to learn about the high-performance computing storage solution capable of enabling scientists across the US to conduct research with unprecedented sustained performance.
