Actually Lustre isn't the only game in town for this. BeeGFS (http://beegfs.com http://beegfs.com) does a very good job at this as well, has better small to large scaling, understandable by mere-mortal error messages, doesn't require a specific (ancient) kernel or distro for the server ...
So does GPFS ... er ... Spectrum Scale by IBM.
There are a few others that fit in this, but Lustre is not alone here.
- frozenport 10y agoTo my knowledge GPFS is IBM only.
- Infernal 10y agoIt's an IBM commercial product, if that's what you mean by "IBM only". You can install it on any hardware though, we run it on a combination of SuperMicro, Dell, and DDN currently.

- gnufx 10y agoI'm not sure why the filesytem server kernel is relevant or how RHEL 7.3's is ancient. I'm not aware of MPI-IO support for BeeGFS. Are there any installations of it comparable with, say, the filesystems of the big HPC sites like Tri-labs?
