Dell - Internal Use - Confidential

seamlessly integrate with existing Isilon clusters to accelerate the performance of an enterprise data lake and lower the overall total

cost of ownership (TCO) of a multi-tiered all-flash and high capacity SATA solution. Powered by the OneFS operating system, this new

offering from Dell EMC is designed to provide the essential capabilities that enterprises require to modernize IT: extreme performance,

massive scalability, operational flexibility, increased efficiency, and enterprise-grade data protection and security.

Similarly, H600 also uses bladed-node architecture and has capacity options from 72TB to144TB per chassis. It is equipped with 120

SAS drives, SSD caching, and built-in multiprotocol capabilities.

Network Components

Dell Networking H1048-OPF

Intel

Omni-Path Architecture (OPA) is an evolution of the Intel

True Scale Fabric Cray Aries interconnect and internal Intel

IP [9]. In

contrast to Intel

True Scale Fabric edge switches that support 36 ports of InfiniBand QDR-40Gbps performance, the new Intel

Omni-

Path fabric edge switches support 48 ports of 100Gbps performance. The switching latency for True Scale edge switches is 165ns-

175ns. The switching latency for the 48-port Omni-Path edge switch has been reduced to around 100ns-110ns. The Omni-Path host

fabric interface (HFI) MPI messaging rate is expected to be around 160 million messages per second (MMPS) with a link bandwidth of

100Gbps.

Mellanox SB7700

This 36-port Non-blocking Managed InfiniBand EDR 100Gb/s Switch System provides the highest performing fabric solution in a 1U

form factor by delivering up to 7.2Tb/s of non-blocking bandwidth with 90ns port-to-port latency.

Dell Networking Z9100-ON

The Dell EMC Networking Z9100-ON is a 10/25/40/50/100GbE fixed switch purpose-built for applications in high-performance data

center and computing environments. 1RU high-density 10/25/40/50/100GbE fixed switch with choice of up to 32 ports of 100GbE

(QSFP28), 64 ports of 50GbE (QSFP+), 32 ports of 40GbE (QSFP+), 128 ports of 25GbE (QSFP+) or 128+2 ports of 10GbE (using

breakout cable).
