sections provide details on each of these components as well as information on tuning and monitoring

the solution.

2.1. NFS storage solution (baseline)

The baseline in this study is an NFS configuration. One PowerEdge R720 is used as the NFS server.

PowerVault™ MD1200 storage arrays are direct-attached to the PowerEdge R720 and provide the

storage. The attached storage is formatted as a Red Hat Scalable File System (XFS). This file system is

exported via NFS to the HPC compute cluster.

The NFS server and storage is shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. Table 1 and Table 2 list the details of the

configuration. Readers familiar with Dell's NSS line of solutions
