Boston Flash-IO Talyn - All-flash NVMe over Fabrics

The Boston Flash-IO Talyn was by far the most popular solution on the stand at this years Supercomputing. Perhaps it was the fact that this is a competition-busting piece of technology or it's stylish bright blue bezel and attractive vinyl wrap...either way there was a steady stream of interest in this solution that features award-winning NVMesh server SAN. 

Developed in partnership with Excelero, Mellanox, Micron and Supermicro, the Boston Flash-IO Talyn addresses the pressure placed on storage architectures by data-heavy applications across a range of verticals such as HPC, rendering, Media & Entertainment, deep learning and AI.

Boston dataScaler-L SFF - Intel® Lustre* Small Form Factor Solution

Boston’s dataScaler-L SFF (small form factor) appliance is the latest addition to Boston’s Lustre based parallel file system portfolio and provides a lower cost / capacity entry point for Lustre storage systems. Traditional Lustre solutions on the market are focused on addressing the high end cluster users, while the Boston Lustre SFF is designed for small or mid-sized clusters with capacities as low as 18TB (and scaling to 720TB). This solution provides a high performance alternative to standard NFS and provides customers with the option to scale and grow as the cluster and user demands increase over time.
