The changing workload placements, from the Data Center to the Edge, have disrupted enterprise data storage infrastructure dynamics. to the hybrid nature of workload characteristics, the storage performance requirements for use cases such as AI/ML, Cloud Native Platforms (CNP), and HPC have made it far more complex to create the infrastructure that scales effectively and efficiently. In this Webinar, Rajdeep (Senior Manager IT, Synopsys) and Srini Bala (GM, Solutions Engineering, Supermicro) will discuss their experience in overcoming these challenges to optimize workloads while maximizing performance. Tune into this webinar to learn: • How Cloud Native Platforms using docker and Kubernetes based container applications leverage CEPH’s object and block storage • How AI/ML use-cases changed the storage requirements over time • How OpenStack like environment where we need on-demand VMs to leverage CEPH’s block and object storage • Ways to leverage the latest storage technology while preserving existing investments • SDS design principles and how we run benchmarking to quantify performance characteristics Watch the webinar: https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/17278/545641

Trends In Storage Domain
• Workload that can work on-prem and on-cloud
• SDS that supports file, object and block
• No Vendor lock-in
• Supports various workloads
• Real-time high performance storage
• Archival

7. Better Faster Greener™ © 2022 Supermicro
Leverage newer trends while preserve existing investments
• Implement Tier storage
• Move existing investments using SAS / SATA based storage to 2nd or 3rd tier
• Bring newer investments with high performance NVMe(s)
• No Vendor lock-in
• For Object storage, since using same S3 protocol, it is easy to move from one
implementation to another or one vendor to another
