□ Storage Systems
- The ABCI system has five storage systems for storing large amounts of data used for AI and Big Data applications, and these are used to provide shared file systems and ABCI Cloud Storage. The shared file system is configured as a fast distributed file system using Luster and has an effective capacity of approximately 34PB. ABCI Cloud Storage is an object storage service with an Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) compatible interface and has 17PB of physical capacity and 13PB of logical capacity available.
□ High-Speed Interconnect
- Compute Node (A), Compute Node (V), shared file systems, and ABCI Cloud Storage are interconnected by high-speed InfiniBand network. Compute Nodes (A) can communicate with each other in full-bisection bandwidth. Compute Nodes (V) can communicate with the other nodes in the same rack, in full-bisection bandwidth.
□ Interconnection Network
- Since ABCI is connected to SINET6(400Gbps), ABCI users may access ABCI through the internet. The connection is secured by firewalls (FortiGate 1500D) and two-stage authentication is adopted.
