Compute Node
• Enterprise class compute nodes built on latest X-86 AMD and Intel
processors
• Compute nodes managed by industry leading hypervisors
• High CPU to RAM ratio of compute nodes allows enterprise users to utilize
RapidMachine resources to the fullest.
Storage
• Built on a high availability Storage Area Network (SAN)
• Comprises of hybrid storage pools i.e. your data is accelerated by
enterprise class high speed disks
• Delivers high performance for I/O intensive operations.
i. Performance Enhanced – providing high performance and robust
fault tolerance. High data transfer rates are achieved through a
combination of striping, high performance caches and other
optimizations. This storage option is ideally suited to IO intensive
applications such as high frequency and transactional databases.
ii. Capacity Enhanced – providing high capacity and storage
efficiency. Since parity information is distributed across all drives
rather than being concentrated on a single disk, it avoids
throughput losses. This storage option is ideally suited to applications
requiring more read and less write intensive such as for data and
image archival
