The Unstoppable Rise of Disaggregated Storage Solutions

Partnered with Intel®


RedisEnte-Intel

Disaggregated infrastructure has become ever more popular, especially in the AI market. Join The Register’s Tim Prickett Morgan, who will explore the sweet spot for “The Data Platform for AI” in a discussion with Supermicro’s Bill Chen, General Manager, System Product Management, and Fred Huang, General Manager, Storage Solution Product Management. Our panel will also delve into some of the most popular AI reference architectures, including Weka, which offers the leading NVMe performance for AI solutions.

  • What is disaggregated storage and what unique value do Supermicro and Intel® bring to the hardware that underpins it
  • What is WekaFS and how does it compare and contrast with other disaggregated storage in the hyperconverged space, and what hardware requirements are driven by this file system
  • Why on-premises file systems and AI systems are still being chosen by enterprises
  • Why appliance-style storage arrays from NetAPP, Dell, and Pure Storage are being displaced by the combination of WekaFS and Supermicro BigTwin® storage servers (powered by 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon Scalable processors)
  • How partnerships between Intel®, Weka, Hitachi Vantara, and Supermicro have delivered the highest performance file system for HPC and AI
  • What industries and workloads WekaFS is most suited towards, and how switching to WekaFS has improved performance and lowered costs for those using other hardware and software-defined storage
