Mixed Workload Instrastructure is the Future

This presentation addresses the following topic(s):

• What under-appreciated aspects of data management are the real secrets to scalable computing?

It was not terribly uncommon in the old days to have just a single type of job running on your high-performance cluster. Those times are long gone, however. Today, nearly every organization has a wide range of computational jobs that they need to run, from hot new AI/ML to the stalwart modeling-simulation jobs. The organization wants to share its investment in a data environment across all those jobs. Each of the growing diversity of jobs wants to apply its unique data load to the storage system. That mess of overlapping I/O streams is what we at Panasas call a “mixed workload” and our family of data solutions, running PanFS, have been engineered to bring order out of that chaos. The result is a file system that can deliver high performance at a price untouchable by other storage systems. Come learn how our new data solutions work and how they will accelerate all your computational jobs.
