Holodeck
High Speed I/O Scale Out

Accelerates I/O performance, enables cloud bursting, & slashes storage costs

IC Manage Holodeck high speed I/O scale out increases I/O capacity, eliminating file system bottlenecks — for fast hybrid and multi-cloud bursting and for private data centers that need increased I/O performance.

Engineers use Holodeck to run simulations and I/O intensive jobs anywhere; it virtually projects tera/petabyte NFS file systems in minutes, then enables real-time transfer of only the specific data needed to run the job, eliminating unnecessary duplication.

Holodeck leads the market with scale out storage acceleration for high performance applications, as well as slashing cloud & NFS storage costs by using NVMe caching.

Holodeck high speed I/O scale out offers four key benefits for achieving elastic compute — in the cloud or in private data centers.

1. Automatic multi-cloud set up. Holodeck supports multi-cloud by running identically in any cloud or private data center by deploying a universal protocol across clouds eliminating the need for filers, which may not be available in all clouds, or are proprietary to each cloud vendor. The result is greater flexibility to burst where and when you want.

2. Accelerates data uploads & transfers. Holodeck’s unique data transport auto-detects file dependencies and transfers data precisely, enabling design and verification teams to move job data incredibly fast.

Holodeck’s precise  data migration strategy eliminates the need for “lift and shift” methods that require time-consuming bulk copying and maintenance/synchronization of all the data.

3. Speeds up I/O intensive jobs at scale. By leveraging NVMe caching, Holodeck dramatically accelerates I/O intensive job performance — particularly write operations.

4. Slashes cloud & NFS storage costs. IC Manage’s NVMe caching mechanism slashes storage costs by using caches instead of buying storage. With Holodeck’s elastic storage, design teams can go to zero storage when the application is quiescent.
