As a center of teaching and scientific research, many colleges and universities have successively built their own computing platforms to provide teachers, students and researchers with high-quality and efficient computing resources and services, and provide strong support for the development of scientific research in many fields such as machinery manufacturing, oceanography, and biomedicine. . A few days ago, Sugon Storage joined hands with Beijing University of Science and Technology to build a school-level computing platform to provide open computing services for scientific research groups throughout the university, satisfy multiple research groups to submit computing tasks online at the same time, and allocate computing and storage resources on demand.
How to effectively manage massive and diverse data types, realize resource sharing, and efficiently support diverse applications has become a major challenge for new storage systems. The project adopts the Sugon ParaStor distributed unified storage platform to provide massive storage resources and efficient data sharing capabilities for teaching and scientific research. The security of distributed storage data adopts the form of EC erasure codes to improve the reliability of the storage system.
In addition, the storage system adopts a cache acceleration mechanism, and the cluster bandwidth can reach 27GB/s, which meets the concurrent access requirements of intelligent computing platforms and virtualized clusters, and provides high-performance and highly reliable storage bases for school-level computing platforms. The system can support files, objects, blocks and big data interfaces at the same time. A set of storage can meet the storage requirements of different business scenarios and protocols, and provide a full-stack storage solution for the construction of educational informatization. In the education industry, centralized platform management can record the learning trajectory of all users and provide a theoretical and practical basis for improving the quality of teaching.
The iteration and upgrade of storage technology has brought new changes and progress to the informatization construction of the education industry. Sugon Storage has served Tsinghua University, Fudan University and other universities for a long time, helping education users to realize resource sharing and information services, improving the work and study efficiency of educators and educated people, helping basic scientific research workers to track the international frontier of science and technology, and providing comprehensive scientific research for universities The improvement of strength and teaching level plays an important role.
