The Value of Data Now vs. Data Later
August 12, 2020 by Leave a Comment
In this contributed article, Fluency CEO and Founder Chris Jordan discusses the inevitable extinction of Moore’s law. 90% of the world’s data has been produced over the last two years, yet companies only analyze 12% of it. With Big Data only continuing to grow, how can more innovative data storage solutions, such as the cloud, effectively respond to this level of growth?
New Study Details Importance of TCO for HPC Storage Buyers
May 12, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Total cost of ownership (TCO) now rivals performance as a top criterion for purchasing high-performance computing (HPC) storage systems, according to an independent study published by Hyperion Research. The report, commissioned by our friends over at Panasas®, a leader in HPC data storage solutions, surveyed data center planners and managers, storage system managers, purchasing decision-makers and key influencers, as well as users of HPC storage systems.
New Study Details Importance of TCO for HPC Storage Buyers
May 7, 2020 by Leave a Comment
Total cost of ownership (TCO) is often assumed to be an important consideration for buyers of HPC storage systems. Because TCO is defined differently by HPC users, it’s difficult to make comparisons based on a predefined set of attributes. With this fact in mind, our friends over at Panasas commissioned Hyperion Research to conduct a worldwide study that asked HPC storage buyers about the importance of TCO in general, and about specific TCO components that have been mentioned frequently in the past two years by HPC storage buyers.

insideBIGDATA Guide to Optimized Storage for AI and Deep Learning Workloads – Part 3
October 1, 2019 by Leave a Comment
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL) represent some of the most demanding workloads in modern computing history as they present unique challenges to compute, storage and network resources. In this technology guide, insideBIGDATA Guide to Optimized Storage for AI and Deep Learning Workloads, we’ll see how traditional file storage technologies and protocols like NFS restrict AI workloads of data, thus reducing the performance of applications and impeding business innovation. A state-of-the-art AI-enabled data center should work to concurrently and efficiently service the entire spectrum of activities involved in DL workflows, including data ingest, data transformation, training, inference, and model evaluation.
