The NREL Computational Science Center leads the lab’s efforts to solve energy challenges using high-performance computing (HPC), computational science, applied mathematics, scientific data management, visualization, and informatics.
NREL required a high-capacity storage solution for its researchers and engineers to store, access, and manage their unstructured data. It has deployed three clusters of Qumulo storage to date, a four-node cluster on the Qumulo Capacity Series QC40; a four-node cluster on the Qumulo Capacity Series QC208, and a four-node cluster on the HPE90.
The lab is using Qumulo storage for its researcher home directories on the new Eagle System, the newest HPC system at NREL; as well as for administrative and researcher NAS requirements, and replication of all HPC NAS requirements.
“With the impact of climate change, it’s crucial for organizations such as NREL to adopt technologies that accelerate their research and outcomes. The lab’s HPC environment has a broad range of demands encompassing multiple use cases, a large number of users, and long-term data retention,” said Molly Presley, Director of Global Product Marketing, Qumulo. “With Qumulo’s incredibly scalable architecture and real-time file analytics, the NREL team can gain better insight into their data, and in turn focus more effectively on their mission to drive innovation in energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies.”
