Software

For AI/ML applications, our storage servers come pre-configured with your choice of either open-source or proprietary software. Our engineers are experienced with OpenZFS, TrueNAS, MinIO, WekaFS and more. These can be configured as NFS shares, S3 storage, and as part of a tiered storage system with local NFS cache (using cachefilesd in Linux).

For other enterprise applications (3D Rendering, Video/VFX, etc.), this can be set-up by RendeRex engineers as a private, on-site cloud storage solution for your organization.

Networking

To avoid bottlenecks, our storage servers come pre-configured with three types of networks.

For distributed-training GPU clusters, each node is connected in a full-fat, non-blocking tree to each of the compute nodes (each GPU if utilizing CX-6), to avoid port blocking and bandwidth bottlenecks.

ZFS / Ram Caching

ZFS is an advanced file system that offers many beneficial features such as pooled storage, data scrubbing, capacity and more. But one of the most beneficial features of ZFS is the way it caches reads and writes. ZFS allows for tiered caching of data through the use of memory.

For larger bursts of writes, your storage node can benefit from RAM caching, and our servers are configurable with up to 512 GB of RAM.

Enterprise or Consumer-grade SSD's

Depending on your budget, RendeRex gives you the freedom to configure your server with either consumer-grade or enterprise-grade SSD's. Click here to speak to an expert to discuss which solution fits you best.

Drive Parity

In order to ensure the integrity of your data, our servers are pre-configured with either 1, or 2-drive parity, meaning that even if you experience up to 2 full drive failures, all of your data would remain completely intact.
