Designing Storage Infrastructures for AI Workloads

Presented by

Storage Switzerland and Panasas

About this talk

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) workloads are fundamentally different from any other workload. These workloads deal in data sets measured in dozens of petabytes of capacity, and large percentages of it can go from dormant to active at any moment. The high storage requirement and highly active data set make using all-flash arrays or even large flash caches impractical. IT planners need to rethink their designs to create infrastructures that are highly parallel and leverage high capacity hard disk drives to strike the right balance of performance and capacity. These infrastructures also need metadata efficiency, since AI and ML workloads are metadata heavy. Join us to learn: * Why all organizations need to prepare for AI and ML * The challenges of AI/ML at scale * Why current storage infrastructures can’t meet the AI/ML at scale challenge * Requirements of an At-Scale AI/ML Storage Infrastructure
