Petabytes of unstructured data used in large-scale AI training processing must be available to the GPU servers with low latencies and high bandwidth to keep the GPUs productive. Cloudian software deployed on Supermicro’s extensive portfolio of Intel and AMD based storage servers meets this need with a robust, highly-performant and easy-to-manage solution optimized for next-gen AI workflows.

“As AI users transition towards increasingly capacity-intensive applications, the need for hyperscale-class infrastructure that enables direct access to massive data sets is critical,” said Jon Toor, CMO of Cloudian. “Our collaboration with Supermicro merges our enterprise-proven, exabyte-scalable AI data lake platform with Supermicro’s leading GPU compute expertise, delivering the industry’s richest technology stack for large-scale AI computing.”

“Supermicro is thrilled to partner with Cloudian to introduce this workload-intensive data-management solution,” said Michael McNerney, Senior VP of Marketing and Network Security, Supermicro. “Combining Supermicro’s NVIDIA-Certified Systems with Cloudian’s exabyte-scale software enables the next wave of large-scale AI deployments. In addition to these, Supermicro’s SuperServer storage systems offer high capacity to help drive deep insights into learning massive data sets seamlessly and efficiently.”

Key capabilities offered by Cloudian and Supermicro’s collaboration include:

• Exabyte Scale: A modular architecture that supports massive scale with geo-distribution, non-disruptive growth, and secure multi-tenancy, ideal for graphics and data-intensive workloads.
