Redefining Data Storage in the Data Awakening Era

Published

redefining-data-storage-in-the-data-awakening-era

BERLIN, May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At the Huawei Innovative Data Infrastructure Forum 2024 in Berlin, Dr. Peter Zhou, Vice President of Huawei and President of Huawei Data Storage Product Line, presented Huawei’s latest thinking in his talk  “Redefining Data Storage in the Data Awakening Era.”

AI looks to disrupt traditional data storage, by not only focusing on performance, reliability, and data paradigm, but also on scalability, sustainability, and data fabric, Zhou said. In the data awakening era, he added, Huawei will redefine data storage through leading innovation in these six dimensions:
Ultra performance: Huawei enhances storage performance by a factor of 10, compared to traditional storage. The storage also supports bandwidth in PB/s and 100 million IOPS, which greatly improves the efficiency of the entire generative AI process.Data resilience: Innovative architecture and technologies boost high reliability of 99.9999%. The built-in ransomware detection engine raises the detection accuracy to 99.99%. Even the checkpoint recovery time during AI training is shortened to less than a minute.New data paradigm: The multi-dimensional tensor data is enabled to support fast data retrieval via an intelligent search engine. The retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technology works with the embedded knowledge base to eliminate hallucination in large AI models.Scalability: A single storage cluster can be scaled out for EB-level capacity and each engine can be scaled up with more GPUs, DPUs, or NPUs for near-storage computing.Sustainability: Innovations in storage media and devices have brought about outstanding storage energy efficiency (less than 1 watt/TB) and storage density (greater than 1 PB/U).Data fabric: The capabilities of storage metadata management and search enable global data visibility and manageability, as well as data mobility that is 10 times more efficient.These six dimensions guide the philosophy behind the recent launch of the high-performance OceanStor A800, which is a powerful addition to Huawei OceanStor A series storage models. Tailored for AI applications, OceanStor A800 can increase AI cluster utilization by 30%, and as for performance, it delivers high bandwidth and IOPS, which are four and eight times better than its peer vendor’s. Regarding scalability, OceanStor A800 supports scaling out to EB-level capacity with up to 512 controllers, as well as scaling up to a maximum of 4,096 computing cards. As for conserving space and energy, it achieves an outstanding storage density of 1 PB/U and energy efficiency of 0.7 watt/TB. It also provides a new data paradigm with vector index, tensor data, and RAG. In terms of data resilience, the accuracy of ransomware detection is improved from 99.9% to 99.99%. In addition, the data fabric capability facilitates data asset management.
At the same time, storage media innovations are driving sustainable development. Huawei’s newly released high-capacity SSDs provide 10 times more capacity with the same disk size, which can further reduce energy consumption of a data center. With 128 TB capacity per disk, the new SSDs consume 88% less storage space and 92% less energy than the peer vendor’s SSDs when storing every one PB of data.
To be AI-ready, enterprises must get data-ready. The Omni-Dataverse global file system built in the DME makes enterprise data assets visible, manageable, and mobile across regions, thereby building a solid AI data lake storage foundation for enterprises.
Dr. Peter Zhou ended by emphasizing Huawei’s commitment to redefining data storage that focuses on customer challenges and demands in the data awakening era, and building leading AI-ready data infrastructure for greater customer value.

quobyte-introduces-high-performance-file-query-engine-for-large-scale-storage-clusters-and-ai-workloads

Quobyte’s File Query Engine Redefines Large-Scale Storage Management with High-Performance Metadata Queries
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Quobyte, the innovator in high-performance storage solutions, has unveiled its new distributed File Query Engine at ISC High Performance 2024, enhancing its storage platform for enterprises and researchers. This engine allows users to query file system metadata at exceptional speeds, making it ideal for environments with massive data sets.

The File Query Engine offers a range of capabilities, including the ability to query user-defined metadata for AI/ML training, enabling users to label files with data directly instead of managing small “metadata files.” Additionally, administrators can quickly answer questions such as identifying space-consuming cold files or locating files owned by specific users. The File Query Engine replaces slow file system tree walks (“find”), offering a faster and more efficient alternative for large volumes.
Key to the File Query Engine’s performance is its integration with Quobyte’s distributed and replicated key-value store, which stores metadata. Unlike other products, Quobyte’s File Query Engine does not require an additional database layer, resulting in faster queries and significant resource savings. Queries are executed in parallel across all metadata servers for fast scans across the entire cluster or select volumes. This engine never operates on outdated data.
“The File Query Engine is a game-changer for our customers,” said Bjorn Kolbeck, CEO of Quobyte. “It streamlines the process of querying file system metadata, offering fast and efficient results even for large datasets, AI, and machine-learning workloads.”
The File Query Engine is part of Quobyte release 3.22 and is automatically available without any configuration. Users can run file metadata queries using the command-line tool “qmgmt,” which supports output in CSV or JSON formats. Additionally, queries can be initiated via the Quobyte API, providing flexibility and ease of use.
