A closer look at IBM's General Parallel File System (GPFS) for Hadoop

You've heard of HDFS,.. how about GPFS?

GPFS is has been powering the worlds largest supercomputers for more than a decade - for example:

• Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Munich @ 9500 nodes
• National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) @ 4500
• Argonne National Laboratory Mira System 49,152 compute nodes

Now this technology is available for Apache Hadoop and we'd like to show you what's under the covers.
