Modernizing HPC Infrastructure and Administration with VAST Data

Conventional parallel file systems like Lustre and GPFS struggle with modern, data-intensive workloads, creating complex tuning challenges and high administrative overhead.

This technical guide explores the modernization of HPC storage with VAST AI OS. Learn how VAST’s Disaggregated Shared Everything (DASE) architecture and all-flash NVMe-oF storage eliminate legacy bottlenecks. The guide outlines best practices for unifying HPC and AI workloads, eliminating data silos, optimizing network configurations with RDMA and NVMe-oF, and reducing the operational complexity of managing metadata servers and data movement.

Build a simpler, more powerful HPC environment for the AI era.
