Fujitsu launches new High-performance computer file system

Fujitsu announced the launch of a new high-performance computer file system called Fefs (Fujitsu Exabyte file system), according to the October 18 report of the US physicist organization network.

Fefs is a high-performance computing cluster system of x86 (a microprocessor architecture developed first by Intel), which can perform data reading and writing on nodes through high-speed distributed computing, and has better performance in high-speed and large-scale data processing. Fujitsu says it uses the technology to transmit up to 1tb/seconds from computer nodes to file systems.

More and more servers are now using x86 architecture, which can be used for computer based analysis and simulation, and is widely used in many industries such as manufacturing industry. With the development of x86 high-performance Computing cluster system, file system has become a bottleneck of performance improvement. Calls for the development of a new file system to improve system speed and data processing capacity is increasingly strong.

According to the introduction, fefs in the open source file system lustre based on the development, Fujitsu added and enhanced a number of proprietary features. In terms of scalability, it can scale to a maximum of 1000PB from a system of TB-scale storage and can be more competitive prices to form a cluster system to meet the storage needs of large server clusters; On the transmission speed, up to 1tb/seconds, approximately lustre file system 1 time times to 3 times times ; On a share, the filesystem has a fair share of user shares, and can set priority levels to prevent a particular user from consuming bandwidth for a long time.
