Arun is a Principal Engineer in Intel Labs. He has contributed to and led research projects across a range of systems software domains including sensor networks, network processors, high performance computer networking, Operating Systems, multi-core parallelization, Compilers, Device driver synthesis and storage. He holds 30+ patents in these areas. His current area of research is on Distributed storage systems (Software Defined Storage) and visual data management systems with a focus on data movement efficiency in large-scale cloud and edge storage architectures. Arun received a Masters in Computer Science from University of Southern California, and a Bachelors in Computer Science & Engineering from Pune University, India.
Software Defined Storage (SDS) frameworks offer storage services that provide high availability, durability and reliability guarantees. However, these guarantees come at a performance cost. While drives can offer microsecond latency and throughput of millions of IOPs, SDS services typically offer millisecond access latencies with 10-100K IOPs throughput.
