High Performance Object Storage in 30 Minutes with Supermicro and MinIORebekah Rodriguez
The Supermicro Cloud DC is the perfect combination of performance, reliability, craftsmanship and flexibility for deploying MinIO object storage. MinIO on the Cloud DC platform outperforms and is more cost-effective than equivalently-sized hardware from other manufacturers. We recently benchmarked a cluster of four Cloud DC servers with NVMe drives and measured an impressive 42.57 GB/s average read (GET) throughput and 24.69 GB/s average write (PUT) throughput. This first class performance demonstrates that MinIO on Supermicro Cloud DC is a compelling solution for object storage intensive workloads such as advanced analytics, AI/ML and other modern, cloud-native applications.
In this webinar, you will learn:
Best use cases and deployment considerations for MinIO object storage
How to design and size a MinIO object storage cluster on Supermicro Cloud DC
How to deploy a distributed MinIO cluster onto a Cloud DC server cluster

The number of internet-connected devices is growing exponentially, enabling an increasing number of edge applications in environments such as smart cities, retail, and industry 4.0. These intelligent solutions often require processing large amounts of data, running models to enable image recognition, predictive analytics, autonomous systems, and more. Increasing system workloads and data processing capacity at the edge is essential to minimize latency, improve responsiveness, and reduce network traffic back to data centers. Purpose-built systems such as Supermicro’s short-depth, multi-node SuperEdge, powered by 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processors, increase compute and I/O density at the edge and enable businesses to further accelerate innovation.
Join this webinar to discover new insights in edge-to-cloud infrastructures and learn how Supermicro SuperEdge multi-node solutions leverage data center scale, performance, and efficiency for 5G, IoT, and Edge applications.

HP 3Par StoreServ Storage: HP All Flash Array SSDUnitiv
Solid state drives are a game changer in the storage market. At this point, the performance benefits are common knowledge. But what might not be common knowledge is that SSDs have surpassed high speed spinning disk in capacity density. In the past 5 years, SSDs have increased in capacity by a magnitude of 38x while high speed spinning disks have only doubled
And HP has been helping to drive this transition by working very closely with our SSD suppliers. For example, we are the only major storage vendor to offer a 1.92 TB drive. Our patented Adaptive Sparing technology, which is unique to HP, let’s us work with the SSD vendors to take stock 1.6 TB drives and extend them to 1.92 based on the technology. That’s an increase in usable capacity per drive of up to 20%.
In June we announced this drive for the All-flash 7450 system and we are now extending this across the entire 3PAR Portfolio.
For customers that are interested in deploying Flash in smaller increments, we are also introducing a 480 cMLC Drive across the entire portfolio.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
