CEA promoting the development of nuclear power in France of nuclear power superpower which is covered by most of the domestic electricity with nuclear power generation, in October 1945Do GoalIt is a public institution established by the general (at the time) and supports R & D on nuclear power regardless of military or private demand.

CEA currently uses a server called "Global Storage 1000 (GS1K)" to process super computer workload, but in order to extend this platform to enhance performance, Seagate's data storage management platform "( PDF file)ClusterStor L 300We announced the introduction of.


According to CEA, when comparing performance such as data storage density and power requirements of several storage platforms, Seagate's ClusterStor series is judged to be the best. The ClusterStor L300 is already available and achieves throughput of 200 GB / s or more and has 6 PB (6000 TB) storage capacity.

Seagate's vice president and general manager of Seagate said, "Seagate supports four of the supercomputers newly joining the world's top ten.CEA's choice is that our storage has the best performance And symbolizes the leadership position in engineering solutions. "

CEAAtos SEWe are planning to develop an ultra high performance supercomputer of exa flop class by 2020.
