HPSS Big Picture
An overview of the supported RHEL platform, metadata storage, disk cache and tape technologies, and HPSS interfaces.
HPSS is best of breed for tape!
HPSS is considered best of breed for tape because of our efficient use of tape hardware and media. HPSS increases hardware and media efficiency by maximizing tape transfer performance, reducing wasted movement of tape media and tape robotics, cutting the cost of redundant tape, and protecting against silent data corruption on tape.
Space manage and protect Spectrum Scale (GPFS) from disaster with HPSS
Not only is HPSS a highly scalable standalone file repository, a single HPSS may also provide disaster recovery and space management services for one or more Spectrum Scale file systems – this allows all tape libraries and tape drives to be shared.
