IBM earlier this month announced that it has built a breakthrough in file system technology that increases the speed of data access by seven times.



IBM researchers succeeded in attaining a 102-gigabyte per second transfer rate on the ASC Purple supercomputer at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in a recent test.



In a statement it said;

The file system was an astonishing 1.6 petabytes in size, the largest ever in the world, and performance was maintained even as 1,000 clients pushed workloads into the file. The project used 104 Power-based eServer p575 nodes and 416 storage controllers.
