DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: IDC predicts data will grow faster than Moore's Law to 1.8 Zettabytes by the end of the year, while file-based data will grow 75X in the next decade. With such staggering growth rates, it is clear there has never been more data available - or a greater imperitive to access, analyze and distribute it more efficiently.  =0A=0AEspecially in high-performance computing (HPC) environments, data stores can grow extremely rapidly and though compute server technology has kept pace, storage has not, creating a barrier between researchers and their data. =0A=0AThis session will examine how impementing scale-out storage can eliminate the storage bottleneck in HPC and put data immediately into the hands of those who need it most.  =0A=0AEMC Isilon Director of Product Management Nick Kirsch will detail real-life implementations in which scale-out storage dramatically accelerated data and server performance, speeding time-to-results in critical HPC projects to extract maximum value from HPC data.
