Scan AI
Simplicity
The IBM Elastic Storage System (ESS) is a modern implementation of software-defined storage, making it easier for you to deploy fast, highly scalable storage for AI, deep learning and big data. With the lightning-fast NVMe storage technology and industry-leading file management capabilities of IBM Spectrum Scale, nodes can grow to huge scalability and can be integrated into a federated global storage system. By consolidating storage requirements from the edge to the core datacentre, IBM ESS can reduce inefficiency, lower acquisition costs, simplify storage management, eliminate data silos, support multiple demanding workloads, and deliver high performance throughout your organisation.
Simplicity
Containerised software install and upgrade, plus a powerful management GUI minimise demands on IT staff time and expertise.
High Performance
NVMe flash storage with 40GB/second throughput per 2U building block.
AI Optimisation
High-performance storage tier for full GPU utilisation to maximise AI algorithm performance.
Operational Efficiency
Dense storage within a 2U package minimises datacentre footprint.
IBM ESS 3000 Array
At the heart of ESS 3000 lies IBM Spectrum Scale. This provides a single unified file system across the organisation, eliminating data silos, simplifying storage management and delivering consistent high performance even as it scales out to meet the demands of even the largest of data systems. Whatever the current scope of your data management needs, you can start as small or as big as you want and easily scale out by adding more units when needed. ESS 3000 can work with IBM POWER systems or other x86 solutions such as NVIDIA DGX systems, for example, where it is easily capable of keeping up with the data needs of the system’s GPUs.
NVIDIA DGX A100 Universal AI System
NVIDIA DGX A100 is the universal system for all AI workloads, offering unprecedented compute density, performance, and flexibility in the world’s first 5 petaFLOPS AI system. NVIDIA DGX A100 features the world’s most advanced accelerator, the NVIDIA A100 Tensor Core GPU - either with 40GB or 80GB memory - enabling enterprises to consolidate training, inference, and analytics into a unified, easy-to-deploy AI infrastructure that includes direct access to NVIDIA AI experts.
