"Optimizing ZFS for Block Storage"
 Justin T. Gibbs, Spectra Logic Corporation and Will Andrews
  http://www.bsdcan.org/2012/schedule/events/316.en.html
  "This paper and talk presents Spectra Logic's optimizations to ZFS's
   data management layer (DMU) to convert the majority of these synchronous
   reads to be asynchronous and, for sequential access patterns, to avoid
   them entirely."
※スライドに Lustreという単語が出てくるので、
"Spectra Logic T-Finity Libraries to be Exclusive Provider of Tape Storage
 for NCSA's Blue Waters Supercomputer"
 Spectra to Deliver 380 Petabytes of Tape Storage to Blue Waters,
 One of the World's Largest, Most Powerful Supercomputers

"Supercomputer to connect to 400PB of storage via Ethernet"
 May 24, 2012, Computerworld
  http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9227414/Supercomputer_to_connect_to_400PB_of_storage_via_Ethernet

Blue Waters (Cray XK6, 11.5PF)
<=> 1TBps of aggregate bandwidth over a 40Gbps Ethernet
    <=> Lustre (25PB, Cray/Xyratex)
<=> InfiniBand QDR
    <=> Spectra Logic 17-frame T-Finity tape libraries (Drive: IBM TS1140)
<=> 100GBps of storage performance
    <=> Nearline (Scalable to 500PB, DDN SFA 12K)
※DVS (Data Virtualization Service) 経由で、計算ノードから NFSサーバ
にアクセス可能なはず
