4 TTM has always been a driver but, today s climate now makes it crucial to maintain MSS > HPC Business < Studies have found that nearly all businesses that exploit HPC consider it indispensable for rapid innovation, competitive advantage and corporate survival. But a caveat presented in most if not all of these studies; are the business barriers to enable broader use of HPC in the business sector. > Technical Infrastructure < Difficulty in determining the ROI/RII for HPC solution enables FUD Favoured business application is incapable of fully exploiting current and planned HPC-TI Non-balanced solutions TTM > Productivity Infrastructure < Programmers have taken it for granted that each successive generation of microprocessors would, either immediately or after minor adjustments, make their old software run substantially faster free lunch per technology step-change is over > Reduce Enterprise Risk< Complexity of Use Application Ready Reliable, quick to deploy, easy to use, efficient Speed time to market by shortening design cycles Fit-in to Enterprise Architecture Recent Personal Survey HPC evolving? Trend view; Only 6% felt HPC is NOT evolving 67% feel its going Commercial and Clouds Stakeholders view; 50% of Company CEOs Commercial or Clouds 67% of C-Level & VPs feel HPC is evolving into Commercial & Productivity Market View 58% of Enterprise size companies feel HPC is going Commercial 33% of Large companies also vote Commercial 19/10/2009 Sun Microsystems Ltd Slide: 4

5 A business aim is made up of the vision, goals & objectives; means is the method of meeting those aims. Logical Top-down View of HPC Example of means to business aim s If the business is assembling engines then HPC is not required.., but if the business mission is to make the best and most innovative engine the means to this aim is a HPC solution If the business is science, to practice science then no HPC is required, but if the mission is to be the first or pioneer science then the means to this aim is a HPC solution If you want to do business but need to know how solvent the business is then the means to this aim is a HPC solution If the business is pharmaceutical, to deliver established medicines then no HPC is required.., but if the business has the mission to deliver the best and safest drugs to the market the means to this aim is a HPC solution 19/10/2009 Sun Microsystems Ltd Slide: 5

6 Application makes technology cool, business makes cool products... > Performance < End-to-end Tested to application ready Optimised Performance Computing infrastructure Efficiency reduced power with increased application efficiency > Reduced Risk < Tested Configurations Predictable performance Built-in redundancy BPC > Deployment < Quick to deploy Reduced in complexity Ready configurations Easy building blocks > Productivity < Administration easy standard interfaces Development tools Capacity planning - data centre demand and cost Access easy user interface Recent Personal Survey Ideal HPC Solution? Trend view; 59% want the complete solution to be Business Ready 40% want the cluster ready Nobody see s hardware ready or integrated as Stakeholders view; 100% of Company CEOs feel Cluster Ready as 100% VPs see Business Ready as the solution Market View Enterprise want at least Cluster Ready as does Large companies Overall its Business Ready that is seen as 19/10/2009 Sun Microsystems Ltd Slide: 6

7 Building Business Ready Business PC Infrastructure Recent Personal Survey Choose Blade or Rack Mount Servers Sun Compute Cluster Sun Constellation System Use Best Practice guides to determine quantity and type Choose Server Interconnect InfiniBand Ethernet Use Best Practice guides to determine optimal network configuration Choose Storage Architecture Sun Unified Storage system Lustre Storage System Use Best Practice guides to determine optimal storage configuration Developer Tools Sun Grid Engine Provisioning Linux Compute Networking Storage Software Sun HPC Software Stack Provisioning, monitoring, patching Scalable Distributed Resource Management Integrated developer tools Simplified inventory management Ideal HPC Solution? Trend view; 59% want the complete solution to be Business Ready 40% want the cluster ready Nobody see s hardware ready or integrated as Stakeholders view; 100% of Company CEOs feel Cluster Ready as 100% VPs see Business Ready as the solution Market View Enterprise want at least Cluster Ready as does Large companies Overall its Business Ready that is seen as 19/10/2009 Sun Microsystems Ltd Slide: 7

8 Breakthrough NAS performance at low cost and power Delivers over 1GB/sec throughput 2 GB/Sec from DRAM 280 K IOPs at 1/4th the price of competitive systems 40% of the power consumption Automatically stores frequently accessed data in DRAM and Flash Automatically stores frequently accessed data in DRAM and FLASH Flash (SSD) Facts CPU & Memory > 250 times faster than HDD One SSD provides IOPs equal to 100 disk drives at less than 1/500 th of the power Flash accelerates I/O, reduces job times and enables more work with less hardware 19/10/2009 Sun Microsystems Ltd Slide: 8
