For high-performance computing (HPC) customers who do not have heavily I/O (input/output)-intensive applications or are price constrained in architecting their clusters, Network File System (NFS) provides a robust solution. NFS is tightly coupled with Linux®/Unix® operating systems, therefore it is more cost effective than other parallel file systems, and is easy to configure, deploy, and maintain.
Ten Gigabit Ethernet (10 GigE) network devices provide a simple but cost effective way to boost NFS performance in an HPC system. The combination of 10 GigE host cards for NFS servers and 10 GigE aggregation modules for GigE switches eliminates the network bottleneck between NFS servers and clients.
