Russ miller runs a monster of a server cluster that eats storage at an incredible rate. The bandwidth requirements alone on his 22TFLOPS system force Miller to look outside the storage box, so to speak, for better throughput and scalability. As the director of the Center for Computational Research at the University at Buffalo, Miller oversees a supercomputer comprising 6,600 processors that is used by the university and many businesses in Western New York. To support all that computational power, Miller turned to a clustered storage system that could alleviate bottlenecks and automatically load-balance and grow on the fly to accommodate user demand.
