Join us for a special VMblog spotlight video ahead of SC24, with Hammerspace and Peak:AIO, two innovative companies that are leading the way, and a must see in the HPC and supercomputing industry.

SC24 is the International Conference for High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis. 

In this video, you will learn about each company:

Hammerspace is radically changing how unstructured data is used and preserved. Our Global Data Platform unifies unstructured data across edge, data centers, and clouds. It provides extreme parallel performance for AI, GPUs, and high-speed data analytics, and orchestrates data to any location and any storage system. This eliminates data silos and makes data an instantly accessible resource for users, applications, and compute clusters, no matter where they are located.

PEAK:AIO is a cutting-edge provider of software for the AI market, revolutionizing the way data is stored and processed for AI workloads. Through its innovative solutions, PEAK:AIO delivers unparalleled performance, cost-effectiveness, scalability, and sustainability, empowering organizations to accelerate their AI initiatives and achieve groundbreaking results.

In an era where artificial intelligence and quantum computing are making daily headlines, SC24 arrives at a crucial moment. The supercomputing landscape is undergoing a dramatic transformation, driven by unprecedented demands from AI training, climate modeling, and scientific research. This year's conference theme, "Accelerating Innovation Through HPC," couldn't be more timely as organizations grapple with escalating computational needs and sustainability challenges.

At SC24, Hammerspace is set to demonstrate how its Global Data Platform is transforming unstructured data management for AI and GPU computing environments. Fresh from powering Meta's AI Research SuperCluster with 24,000 GPUs at 12.5TB per second, the company will highlight its standards-based parallel file system architecture that eliminates data silos across edge devices, data centers, and clouds.

Visitors to Booth #4723 can meet comic book legend Steve Gordon, who will be signing the latest volume of the company's "Data Dynamo" series, while technical experts showcase solutions that have recently achieved notable results in the MLPerf Storage Benchmark tests. The company's biggest presence yet at SC24 includes a cocktail reception, technology partner demonstrations, and participation in the Petaflop party at the College Football Hall of Fame.

As part of our KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2020 coverage, VMblog visits with Douglas Fallstrom, co-founder and SVP of Products & Operations at Hammerspace, a software-defined hybrid cloud file storage company.

In this video, we discuss a number of items, including where Kubernetes and Cloud technologies are headed into 2021, how 2020 affected the way the company and its clients operate, and we find out more about the company, its technologies, how they differentiate in the market, and also what's new with their latest solution.  Watch and learn more as Douglas Fallstrom walks us through a demo of their product.

Hammerspace is storageless data for hybrid cloud Kubernetes environments. By untethering data from the infrastructure, Hammerspace overcomes data gravity to provide dynamic and efficient hybrid cloud storage as a fully automated, consumption-based resource. Users self-service their persistent data orchestration to enable workload portability from the cloud to the edge.

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon 2020 goes digital.  Will you be in attendance?  If the event were physical, we would have looked forward to visiting with Hammerspace.  So we reached out to them digitally instead.

Read this exclusive pre-show interview between VMblog and Trip Hunter, SVP of Corporate Marketing at Hammerspace, the software-defined hybrid cloud file storage company.

Background

Kubernetes understood its limitations and, therefore, left storage out. Provisioning compute is a distinctly different discipline than provisioning storage. Kubernetes introduced the notion of Persistent Volumes (PV) and Persistent Volume Claims (PVC) to manage the challenge of providing persistent storage to non-persistent applications, such as Kubernetes Pods. They are APIs that decouple the what from the how or, in other words, consumption from implementation details. It is a highly useful disaggregation that turns infrastructure into reusable storage pools for Kubernetes Pods. 

As a software-defined data platform for Kubernetes, Hammerspace provides dynamic, efficient and fully automated hybrid cloud storage that lets users self-service their consumption of persistent data, making storage a disposable and invisible resource.
