Re: [CELS Sysadmins] FW: IBM ESSp and Spectrum Scale Question
I thought ALCF had a few GSS units that they were running through some tests. - JB On Wed, Dec 9, 2015 at 4:51 PM, Stacey, Craig <[email protected]> wrote:
I’m not sure why Joe thinks we’re running GSS or ESSp. Anyone have any experience in this? I’d honestly not even heard of these before this e-mail. -- Craig

Hello Craig,
I got your name from Joe Paris. My name is Damir and I am a system administrator at Northwestern University working alongside Joe’s group on high performance computing cluster. We are in the process of replacing our storage subsystem.
We are evaluating offerings from IBM (ESSp) and Lenovo (GSS). Our current solution is 14 NSD servers (x86) attached to 21 DCS3700 arrays connected to FDR10.
I understand that your organization is running both GSS and ESS and I was wondering if you would have 10-15 minutes for a phone call to chat about your experiences with either product?
Thank you. Damir
Yeah, unless someone here had knowledge, I was gonna pass him off to ALCF. Joe may think I’m more embedded in that world than I am. -- Craig On 12/9/15, 5:30 PM, "John Blaas" <[email protected]> wrote:
