Dingo's blog

This blog will be mainly focused on my own experiences with computers and software. Both I am using now purely as a user and hobbyist. Also I comment on interesting news about ICT, privacy and combinations of both. In deze blog zal het voornamelijk gaan over ervaringen met computers en software waar ik tegenwoordig alleen nog hobbymatig mee bezig ben en mijn commentaar op imo interessante nieuwsberichten op het gebied van ICT, privacy en de combinatie van beide.

IBM builds 120 petabyte cluster out of 200,000 hard drives

ExtremeTech has the news IBM building a 120 Petabyte cluster of 200.000 hard drives. The unknown customer has probably a very large HPC with a lot data to be generated to need such large storage system. With IBM’s General Parallel File System it is by its parallel nature extremely fast too. I certainly hope it is not a climate change model running all this stuff because the necessary power undoubtly produces a small climate change on it's own!
