Session: Leveraging High Performance Object Storage for today's AI, Data Analytics and HPC applications
A new world of modern applications has emerged as adoption of Cloud, Artificial intelligence (AI), Analytics and HPC (High Performance Computing) has accelerated. Applications in these domains are generating tremendous amounts of unstructured data. In fact, a study shows that 80% of data generated worldwide will be unstructured by 2025. This has led to the urgency of solving two big problems:1) It has resulted in requirement of storage systems which can store and manage unstructured data.
2) In addition, the storage systems should be able to provide access to huge amounts of data at high speed and be scalable.
These problems can be addressed by High Performance Object Storage systems, which can store large volumes of unstructured data and meet the demands for high speed, low latency, and scale from storage. Moreover, object storage systems provide low-cost storage for large capacity of data and are suitable for AI, Analytics, HPC and Cloud native applications. Also, in the past few years’ adoption and management of object storage has been simplified with Amazon S3 API which has become the standard protocol for leveraging object storage.
This session will give information about High Performance Object Storage and its typical features which can help with the growing storage demands for AI, Analytics and HPC applications.
Key Takeaways
- Learn how emergence of AI, Analytics and High Performance Computing (HPC) applications has led to need of storage delivering high performance
- Get an overview of high performance object storage and its advantages
- Know how Amazon S3 API has simplified use of object storage
