Peer Fusion Clusters Improve Your Productivity


Peer Fusion clusters simplify your storage decisions so you can get on with your work:

  • A Peer Fusion cluster brings simplicity:
    • Simplicity for your IT team.
    • A Peer Fusion cluster is simple to install, configure and operate. There is no RAID formatting, carving of LUNs or applying firmware patches. You can start using it within minutes after the system is racked.

      A Peer Fusion cluster is accessed through a single file system so you get a unified namespace. No matter how large the cluster gets you still have the simplicity of a single root to the directory tree.

      You decide how resilient you want your data to be and you can change your mind at any time. You will preserve your storage capacity as there is no replication. You will improve your ROI as every peer you buy is utilized in the Peer Fusion cluster.

    • Simplicity for your development team.
    • Software developed using standard POSIX filesystem semantics can run in the production environment without changes by using the Peer Fusion resilient parallel filesystem.

      The entire hierarchy of the Supra-Clusters™ is accessible through standard operating system utilities as a unified namespace.

      Your development team developed your software using open/read/write/close/etc and the PFFS® provides the same filesystem calls in its large scale, distributed, and resilient cluster of clusters.

    • Simplicity for your accounting team.
    • ROI is ensured up front by buying up to sixty percent less hardware because the PFFS® does not rely on replication for data resiliency. Less hardware also means less space and less power.

      ROI is ensured because Peer Fusion clusters are simple to administer and require less time from your IT team.

      ROI is ensured because your time to market will shrink as your development filesystem is compatible with your deployment filesystem.
