DescriptionStorage users have built, managed and sworn at multi-tiered storage infrastructures for the past 30 years, based on the assumption that they thereby minimize their total storage expenditure. Advances in storage technology including NVMe over Fabrics, QLC flash and 3D XPoint combine with software advances from containers, advanced erasure codes and revolutionary fine-grained global data reduction to bring flash storage to a price that challenges this assumption.
This session will explain how VAST’s DASE (Disaggregated Shared Everything) architecture combines these technology advances into a scale-out file and object storage system that delivers the performance HPC centers require for scratch and home directories at a cost that allows its usage for their less active data as well. We will also review experience from the field in the form of benchmarks and customer case studies in the most demanding HPC environments.
