High Performance Storage System (HPSS) is a flexible, scalable policy-based Hierarchical Storage Management product developed by IBM in collaboration with five DOE National Labs (LLNL, LANL, LBNL,ORNL, SNL). HPSS enables a user to use cluster, LAN, and/or SAN technology to aggregate the capacity and performance of many computers, disks, and tape drives into a single virtual file system. [ [http://www.hpss-collaboration.org Official HPSS Collaboration Website] ] ]The 6.2 release of HPSS (Core Server) is supported on AIX and Linux. The HPSS Mover and Client API are supported on AIX, Linux, IRIX, and Solaris.
HPSS supports a variety of methods for accessing and creating data. Among them are support for FTP, parallel FTP, VFS (Linux), as well as a robust client API with support for parallel I/O.
Notable Achievements
