Per PR Newswire, Sugon showcased its AI and advanced computing portfolio at ISC High Performance 2026 in Hamburg. The ParaStor F9000 all-flash distributed storage topped both the IO500 Production SC26 List and the 10 Node Production SC26 List; the full-production submission was filed under institution SCNet (500 client nodes, 64,000 total client processes). IO500 production lists rank only systems deployed in real operational environments meeting redundancy and usage criteria. StorageNewsletter and trade outlets corroborate the result. Independent customer benchmarks and published run artifacts would further validate operational claims at scale.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sugon-tops-io500-showcases-ai-infrastructure-in-europe", "canonical_source": "https://letsdatascience.com/news/sugon-tops-io500-showcases-ai-infrastructure-in-europe-28502533", "published_at": "2026-06-30 08:45:25+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-30 09:24:14.561738+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-infrastructure", "ai-chips"], "entities": ["Sugon", "ParaStor F9000", "Argonne National Lab", "Aurora", "ISC High Performance 2026", "Hamburg", "IO500", "SCNet"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sugon-tops-io500-showcases-ai-infrastructure-in-europe", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sugon-tops-io500-showcases-ai-infrastructure-in-europe.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sugon-tops-io500-showcases-ai-infrastructure-in-europe.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/sugon-tops-io500-showcases-ai-infrastructure-in-europe.jsonld"}}
