Use Cases

Using XPRESSmp™ in a High-Performance Computing Environment

Challenges Addressed:

  • Low latency processing
  • Massive ingest and scalability
  • High-performance computing
  • Data warehouse load time reduction
  • Real-time dynamic data value

A large, high-performance government data center needs to improve scalability, management and overall operational efficiency of its real-time computer labs and sensor equipment. As it plans to expand to millions of cores, the company needs a solution that can efficiently manage exascale systems, schedule work in the cloud, ensure reliability, and manage the potential failure of cores. Inbound data from device sensors–run through complicated modeling systems and used for performance and efficiency optimization–swamp the data center's installations of MySQL, peaking at 8 cores in both performance and scale.

XPRESSmp efficiently ingests the inbound device data, processes the necessary predictive analytics modeling, and streams a view of "right-now" operational information with real-time visualization and alerting to dashboards. And, because XPRESSmp scales linearly, the data center can add cores and secure linear scalability in performance with each added core. With XPRESSmp in place, 5 times fewer servers are needed to ingest and process the inbound data.
