MAID2.0 – Massive Array of Idle DisksMAID2.0 – Massive Array of Idle Disks

MAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks) is, simply put, a feature implemented in a RAID system to spin down idle disks to conserve energy.

JetStor SAS 812/ 816/824 series features MAID technology and delivers the following benefits:

20 – 50% lower power consumptionDecreased heat output Greater drive longevity Lower cooling requirementsHelps the environment – reduces

carbon footprint

Power Supply & Fan ModulePower Supply & Fan Module

Integrated Power Supply and Fan Module JetStor SAS 812/824 /816 series ship with two integrated modules consisting of:

SAS 812: 400W power supply w/one fan inside SAS 816: 500W power supply w/one fan inside SAS 824: 400Wpower supply w/two fans inside

The integrated design ensures the efficiency of the whole cooling system.

1+1 redundancy insures High Availability. If one PSFM failed, the subsystem will keep operating normallyinstead of shutting down.

Multi-Speed FansMulti-Speed Fans

Dynamic Regulation of Fan Rotational Speed

Reduces Noise During Operation

Avoids Overheating of the RAID Subsystem Lengthens the Lifespan of Fan Modules

The Fan module will dynamically adjust its rotational speed when the controller senses any changes of the temperature inside of the chassis or hard disks drives.

Primary Storage

Backup Storage

Anton can carry out MD simulations at an atomic level and on the scale of milliseconds - and at speeds up to 100 times faster than a conventional supercomputer.

Cluster details

Six Supermicro servers with SAS HBA's

Twenty one JetStor 516S units with 450GB SAS drives

File system Luster

Running since 2010

Benchmarks

Anton enables scientists to perform MD simulations of bimolecular systems nearly two orders of magnitude faster than the previous state of the art. This table shows benchmark information for a number of systems of various sizes. Performance was measured on a 512-node Anton machine like the one hosted by the PSC. Note that Anton is a single user system, i.e., simulations on Anton use all 512 nodes.
