Incremental Scalability
Based on storage needs and deployment schedules, HPSS scales incrementally by adding computer, network and storage resources. A single HPSS namespace can scale from petabytes of data to exabytes of data, from millions of files to billions of files, and from a few file-creates per second to thousands of file-creates per second.
HPSS Documentation
The following HPSS user documentation is for the current release of HPSS. Customers have access to older versions of these documents on the HPSS Administrator Wiki.
Deals with maintenance and troubleshooting of an HPSS deployment.
