07x06: Connecting Ceph Storage to AI with Clyso

Many of the largest-scale data storage environments use Ceph, an open source storage system, and are now connecting this to AI. This episode of Utilizing Tech, sponsored by Solidigm, features Dan van der Ster, CTO of Clyso, discussing Ceph for AI Data with Jeniece Wnorowski and Stephen Foskett. Ceph began in research and education but today is widely used as well in finance, entertainment, and commerce. All of these use cases require massive scalability and extreme reliability despite using commodity storage components, but Ceph is increasingly able to deliver high performance as well. AI workloads require scalable metadata performance as well, which is an area that Ceph developers are making great strides. The software has also proved itself adaptable to advanced hardware, including today’s large NVMe SSDs. As data infrastructure development has expanded from academia to HPC to the cloud and now AI, it’s important to see how the community is embracing and improving the software that underpins today’s compute stack.
