In addition to providing high bandwidth aggregate data access to the cluster nodes, such systems can provide nonvolatile storage for computing checkpoints and can serve as a results gateway for making cluster results immediately available to downstream analysis and visualization tools for an emerging approach known as computational steering. The potential applications for the nonvolatile storage device Nantero is developing are extensive and include the ability to enable instant-on computers and to replace the memory in devices such as cell phones, MP3 players, digital cameras, and PDAs, as well as applications in the networking arena. Briefly, SANs allow efficient and flexible connection of servers and storage by de-coupling nonvolatile storage (hard disks and disk arrays) from the servers used by LAN client machines for data storage services. |
