High-performance computing applications, web-scale storage systems, and modern enterprises increasingly have the need for a data architecture that will unify at the edge, and in data centers, and clouds. These organizations with massive-scale data requirements need the performance of a parallel file system coupled with a standards-based solution that will be easy to deploy on machines with diverse security and build environments.

Standards-Based Parallel Global File System - No Proprietary Clients

As the one of the inventors of NVMe at Fusion-io, David has long been a thought leader in the SSD space. Large steps forward were made in data processing when NVMe was embedded in the server, bringing large quantities of high-performance data into direct contact with processing. However, data driven workload requirements have since changed, dramatically: 1) Larger quantities of data are being created, analyzed, and processed; 2) Demands for performance are not just growing, but, accelerating; and, 3) Most importantly, data needs to be more usable.

The rapid evolution of GPU computing in the Enterprise has led to unprecedented demand for robust and scalable data platforms. This session will explore the critical role that standardized frameworks and protocols play in optimizing data creation, processing, collaboration and storage within these advanced computing environments. Attendees will gain insights into how adopting standards can enhance interoperability, move data to compute, facilitate efficient data exchange, and ensure seamless integration across diverse systems and applications.
