Executive summary
This white paper describes the Dell NFS Storage Solution - High Availability configurations (NSS6.0-HA)
with Dell PowerEdge 13
th
generation servers. It presents a comparison among all available NSS-HA
offerings so far, and provides performance results for a configuration with a storage system providing
480TB of raw capacity.
The NSS-HA solution described here is designed to enhance the availability of storage service to the
HPC cluster by using a pair of Dell PowerEdge servers and PowerVault storage arrays along with Red Hat
HA software stack. The goal of the solution is to improve storage service availability and maintain data
integrity in the presence of possible failures or faults and to optimize performance in a failure-free
scenario.
