A new file storage type called ‘SFS Turbo HPC’ has been added to the Scalable File Service. The SFS Turbo HPC is available in 4 different variants, each of which provides corresponding bandwidths depending on the size of the file storage. The bandwidth of the SFS Turbo HPC 20 or 40 grows accordingly with up to 20/40 MBs per TB. You can achieve a maximum bandwidth of 8 GB/s and up to 250,000 IOPS. Recommended use cases are log storage, classic file storage, storage for content management systems or websites.
The other two variants, SFS Turbo HPC 125 or 250, achieve bandwidth growth of up to 125/250 MBs per TB. These two variants can achieve a maximum bandwidth of up to 20 GB/s and up to 1,000,000 IOPS. This makes these two variants suitable for training of artificial intelligence, autonomous driving, rendering, CAD applications or other HPC applications.
The SFS Turbo HPC has several endpoints. The full performance only unfolds when the various endpoints are utilised. Please also note that the SFS Turbo HPC can be booked with a minimum capacity of 1.2 TB for the 40/125/250 variants and 3.6 TB for the 20 variant.
You can also find an overview of the specification on the product page or within the documentation.
