New SGI storage at Sandia

A quickie from SGI

Sandia National Laboratory in Albuquerque, N.M., recently installed an SGI InfiniteStorage 4600 solution capable of housing more than 1.8 petabytes (or 1.8 million gigabytes) of scientific data. The system provides the extreme data throughput required for high-speed, distributed access to data, a must-have capability in supercomputing environments where the amount of data — and the power needed to process it — is rapidly increasing.
