关于客户
普渡大学是研究、发现和创新领域的全球领导者。在印第安纳州西拉法叶的校园里，400 多个研究实验室和 140 个大学认可的研究中心和研究所构成了一个广泛的跨学科研究中心。普渡大学在“最佳大学评论”中位列美国顶尖研究型大学第 22 名，拥有探索园，这是一所最先进的设施，拥有独一无二的研究和教育机会，可以催化和促进具有全球影响力的研究突破。为了推动其多学科研究工作，普渡大学开发了美国最大的校园网络研究基础设施之一。该大学的三个高性能计算 (HPC) 系统目前被列入国际知名的 Top500® 名单，包括美国最大的学术分布式计算网格和最大的科学和医学在线中心集合。为了确保为其各种研究计划提供最高级别的支持，普渡大学还部署了一个强大的数据存储库，称为数据仓库。
挑战
普渡大学是研究、发现和创新领域的全球领导者，它面临着满足多达 1,000 名研究人员数百个项目需求的挑战。这促使该大学决定部署一个由高性能存储支持的大型集中式数据存储库。大数据的种类、速度和数量需要高度通用、可扩展的存储。不同的工作负载需要高度灵活的存储来容纳大型并行 I/O 作业和许多小型随机读取请求。该大学最初研究了几个顶级研究领域的需求，包括计算纳米技术、航空和天文工程、机械工程、基因组学、结构生物学以及生命科学学科的几个大型项目。管理各种研究需求的挑战在于既要容纳非常大的并行 I/O 作业，又要容纳数百万个小型随机读取请求，而不会对任何人造成性能损失。
解决方案
普渡大学为其 Data Depot 服务实施了集中式高性能存储解决方案，由 DDN 的 SFA12KX® 存储平台和 SFX 驱动。其他站点使用 DDN EXAScaler® 并行文件系统设备和 SFX® 缓存加速。该大学实施了一对 DDN SFA 12KX 高性能存储系统，总原始存储容量为 6.4PB，为大学的 GPFS 并行文件系统提供块存储。在多个校园数据中心安装了冗余存储阵列，以实现最大可用性。此外，该大学还利用了 DDN 屡获殊荣的 Storage Fusion Xcelerator (SFX) 技术，该技术采用先进的缓存技术来实现前所未有的性能改进。SFX 使用存储加速工具，将旋转和固态磁盘存储介质与应用程序感知技术相结合，使存储系统能够将数据加载到系统缓存中，以加速基于块和基于文件的数据访问。

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
