Powering High-Performance Missions at Scale.
Modernize your high-performance computing (HPC) data infrastructure. Deliver high-performance access to distributed datasets, simplify complex operations, and create a scalable foundation for next-generation research and AI workloads.
As Research Computing Evolves, Is Your Storage Keeping Pace?
For decades, federal research and scientific-focused agencies and programs have invested heavily in cutting-edge compute infrastructure to power simulations, modeling, and data-intensive missions. However, as datasets grow exponentially and researchers become more geographically distributed, legacy storage architectures are turning into critical roadblocks.
When compute resources sit idle while researchers waste time locating, moving, or preparing data, mission timelines suffer. The challenge today isn’t just about raw compute power; it’s about data accessibility, cross-site collaboration, and breaking down storage silos.
Storage Performance Constraints
Slow I/O performance and metadata bottlenecks stall application performance and increase job completion times.
Data Silos & Duplication
Valuable data is scattered across multiple repositories, sites, and cloud environments, forcing manual data movement.
Cross-Site Collaboration Barriers
Distributed scientific teams spend more time managing version control and synchronization issues than generating insights.
Organizations need a modern approach that delivers:
✓ High-performance access to data
✓ Simplified data management
✓ Reduced data movement
✓ Cross-site collaboration
✓ Support for both HPC and AI workloads
The Modern Data Foundation for HPC and Evolving AI Workloads
Hitachi Federal provides the high-performance foundation required to support demanding research systems. By decoupling data from underlying storage hardware, we deliver an enterprise-class data infrastructure that provides high-speed, parallel file access at scale.
Whether your agency is running massive genomics sequences at NIH, weather prediction models at NOAA, aerospace simulations at NASA, or complex defense research initiatives, we unlock the full capability of your data without requiring disruptive, wholesale infrastructure replacements.
Parallel File Access at Scale
Deliver maximum throughput and high-performance access to massive, unstructured datasets across demanding HPC clusters.
Intelligent Data Orchestration
Unify multi-site storage environments under a single global namespace, allowing seamless access to data regardless of physical location.
Coexistence of HPC & AI Workloads
Effortlessly scale to meet the completely different data access patterns introduced by artificial intelligence and machine learning training alongside traditional modeling and simulation.
Preserve & Extend Existing Investments
Modernize above the storage layer. Complement and enhance your current Lustre, GPFS, or legacy NAS environments rather than executing risky data migrations.
Case Study
Detecting and Defending Against Orbital Threats
The Challenge:
A U.S. Defense Agency required architecting a medium-earth orbit missile tracking system that would transmit data collected from SBIRS and next-gen OPIR satellites to a ground system for real-time processing and advanced threat detection.
The Solution:
Hitachi and a major federal systems integrator successfully architected and delivered a data platform that could ingest, store, and process telemetry, multimedia, and other data at the scale and performance needed to support next-generation application workloads and generate real-time intelligence.
The Outcomes:
– Future-focused scalable and expandable storage foundation.
– Uninterrupted availability and accessibility of mission-critical data.
– Performant storage foundation for next-generation application workloads.
