6 DELL EMC HPC Solution for Life Sciences v1.1: Deployment Best Practices | Document ID | version (optional)
3 Solution Overview
The Dell HPC Solution for Life Sciences with PowerEdge C6320 compute subsystem with Intel® OPA fabric
consists of 24 nodes of PowerEdge C6320 in one 48U rack. This solution also includes two master nodes,
two login nodes, one CIFS gateway, Dell EMC HPC NFS Storage Solution - High Availability (NSS7.0-HA),
and Dell EMC HPC Lustre Storage.
The configuration used for solution validation and performance benchmarking is shown here. NSS7.0-HA
serves as a primary storage shared among master, login and compute nodes while Dell EMC HPC Lustre
Storage is used for the performance and storage capacity needs.
