On this site we want to display impressive setups or special solutions that show what a good Linux cluster can do for you.

CGGVeritas
CGGVeritas, a global provider of geophysical services and equipment, did set up several clusters to provide seismic data to users. They attached a 37 TB JBODs to each node of the cluster so using a total of 72 TB XFS filesystem on each node. 10 Of these clusters are set up with Linux-HA version 2.1.3 exporting the data with NFS in an active/active setup.

Each node of the clusters has 16 GByte RAM, a 10 GBit Network interface toward the clients and a 4 GBit HBA direct attached storage. Each cluster serves more than 500 clients. The systems came into production 2006.

Minor hickups caused by file system corruption were resolved after a failover and reboot of the node. Special hint: The admins did set up a uniq fsid. Otherwise the clients might get confused.
