The growth of machine and unstructured data is breaking the distributed scale-out mode that combines compute and storage in the same devices and limits your flexibility to choose the ideal resources for each. This drives up costs and makes it more difficult to accommodate growing data storage and analytics demands.

Please join Splunk and Cloudian for an informative webinar to learn how SmartStore and HyperStore can:

Independently scale compute and storage resources
Reduce storage costs by up to 70%
Simplify indexer updates (new cluster can inherit data from the original)
Directly integrate with public cloud
Attain built-in data protection

Cloudian is Part of the Splunk Technology Alliance Program

By using Splunk SmartStore it let’s you decouple the compute and storage layers, so you can independently scale those resources to best serve workload demands. With SmartStore, Splunk Indexers retain data only in hot buckets that contain newly indexed data. Older data resides in the warm buckets and is stored within the scalable and highly cost-effective Cloudian cluster. SmartStore manages where data is stored, moving data among indexers and the external Cloudian storage based on data age, priority and users’ access patterns. As of today, clients can immediately achieve a 70% saving on Splunk Infrastructure.

Join Van Flowers for a candid conversation with Jeff Lanza, a 20 year FBI veteran. They will discuss REAL ransomware situations, cybercrime impact on companies, and what you should be looking out for to keep your company safe. The best defense is always being proactively prepared, and they'll show you how protecting your data with object lock / immutability can prevent you from being yet another "it happened to me" on the FBI's list of victims.

Jeff was an FBI Special Agent for over 20 years, during which he investigated cybercrime, organized crime,  human trafficking, and terrorism. Jeff has lectured at Harvard and Princeton Universities and written two  highly reviewed books. He is featured in a Netflix documentary about the FBI and he often appears on  national television news programs where he talks about the growing threat of cybercrime.

Cybercrime / Ransomware - the FACTS from FBI Experts

The digitization of healthcare systems, patient records, and clinical data has resulted in petabytes of unstructured data spread across multiple NAS systems. With little visibility, incomplete protection, and increased risk of a data breach, how confident are you that your patients’ data—from PACS images to EHR—are protected, or that years of research data will not be lost when a ransomware attack happens?
 
Join Rubrik and Cloudian to learn:
- What to consider when protecting patients’ sensitive data
- How to effectively protect and archive petabytes of unstructured data with high performance at scale
- How Object Lock can ensure data recovery from an attack without having to pay ransom

Pioneering the Future of Data Platforms for the Era of Generative AI

Rob Strechay, principal analyst at theCUBE Research, is joined by William Li, director of solution management at Super Micro Computer; Rob Davis, VP of storage technology at Nvidia; Steve Hanna, head of product management of high-capacity NVMe SSDs at Micron Technology; Shimon Ben-David, CTO of WekaIO; and Jon Toor, CMO of Cloudian, during the Supermicro Open Storage Summit, powered by Supermicro, Intel, AMD and Nvidia.

Training large AI models enables all of the new AI- powered applications. The unique access patterns for AI training has specialized requirements to get the best performance from the GPU compute. This session features product leaders from Supermicro, NVIDIA, Micron, WEKA, and Cloudian to discuss how to meet these requirements.

The expert guests explore the importance of high-performance storage solutions for AI and machine learning workloads. It addresses the challenges of preparing data for AI, covering stages such as data cleansing, feature engineering and integration.

Enabling AI Data Pipelines: Optimized Storage for AI

GPUs have long been compute monsters. But for a new class of applications with huge datasets and low computational intensity, like generative neural network (GNN) training and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), GPU-initiated communication from O(100K) GPU threads enable them to also be data access monsters. We'll frame the problem of storage IO, tie it to specific usage models and classes of applications, present breakthrough successes, and open new horizons to practical applications where storage IO optimization is needed for files and objects and both fine- and coarse-grained transfers. We'll cover two members of the GPUDirect Storage family, cuFile and cuObj, and SCADA, a new programming model for high-throughput, fine-grained, GPU-initiated access. We'll also touch on security issues and how they can be addressed through careful design and, in some cases, the help of DPUs.

Key Takeaways:
- GPUs consume datasets from storage because they're too big to fit in memory
- Removing CPU overheads is enabled with direct transfers between storage and GPU, sometimes initiated by the GPU
- New app classes such as GNN training and RAG, and new usage models such as checkpoint save/restore, are driving this
- New entrants to CUDA include cuObj in GPUDirect Storage and SCADA, for scaled accelerated data access
- Enhanced security is achieved with careful architectural design and, in some cases, with the help of DPUs
