# High-performance Storage

## What is High-Performance Storage? <a href="#hpsgettingstarted-whatishigh-performancestorage" id="hpsgettingstarted-whatishigh-performancestorage"></a>

**File Storage—High Performance (HPS)** is a fully managed service that delivers **cost-efficient, high-performance, and scalable storage** for **GPU compute workloads**. It is designed to support demanding use cases such as **AI/ML training**, **high-performance computing (HPC)**, and **video rendering**, where multiple compute instances need simultaneous access to shared data with low latency and high throughput.

**Powered by VAST Data and DDN Storage**, two of the leading high-performance file system technologies optimized for **NVIDIA GPU clusters**, HPS provides exceptional performance—offering **throughput of up to hundreds of gigabytes per second** and **tens of thousands of IOPS** to meet the needs of the most data-intensive workloads.

## How Does It Work? <a href="#hpsgettingstarted-howdoesitwork" id="hpsgettingstarted-howdoesitwork"></a>

Mount **HPS** to **GPU Bare Metal** and **GPU Virtual Machine** services via the compute network (subnet) for seamless integration with your GPU workloads.

## Why High-performance Storage? <a href="#hpsgettingstarted-whyhigh-performancestorage" id="hpsgettingstarted-whyhigh-performancestorage"></a>

* **Highly Performant and Scalable:** Achieve hundreds of GB/s throughput and thousands of IOPS for demanding workloads.
* **Seamless S3 Integration:** Easily access and transfer data from other S3 buckets with the S3 gateway support.&#x20;
* **Simple and Fully Managed:** Launch and manage HPS in a couple of hours, with no need for hardware provisioning or ongoing maintenance.
