White Paper — Optimizing Dell PowerVault MD1200 Storage Arrays for HPC Deployments
In this paper, we investigate the effects of different configuration settings on the performance of Dell™ PowerVault™ storage arrays and communicate the results as best practices for setting up similar storage architectures in high-performance computing (HPC) environments.
To perform the study, we configured PowerVault MD1200 storage arrays with various optimizations to determine the impact of overall I/O (input/output) performance. The study results indicate considerable improvement with optimized RAID configurations and logical unit (LUN) aggregation.
