Video: A Glimpse into the Future of I/O
December 26, 2018 by
In this video from the DDN User Group at SC18, Sven Oehme from DDN presents: A Glimpse into the Future of I/O. “IME is DDN’s scale-out flash cache that is designed to accelerate applications beyond the capabilities of today’s file systems. IME manages I/O in an innovate way to avoid the bottlenecks and latencies of traditional I/O management and delivers the complete potential of flash all the way to connected applications. IME also features advanced data protection, flexible erasure coding and adaptive I/O routing, which together provide new levels of resilience and performance consistency.”

Enabling a Secure Multi-Tenant Environment for HPC at the Sanger Institute
July 28, 2018 by
Dr. Peter Clapham from the Sanger Institute gave this talk at the DDN User Group at ISC 2018. “The DDN User Group at ISC is an annual conference that brings together the best and brightest scientists, researchers and technologists to share and learn how leading global HPC organizations are executing cutting-edge initiatives that are transforming the world. The goal of the event is to gather the community during ISC to discover how HPC organizations are assessing and leveraging technology to raise the bar on HPC innovations and best practices.”
Video: Lustre / ZFS at Indiana University
July 12, 2018 by
Steve Simms from Indiana University gave this talk at the DDN User Group meeting in Frankfurt. “ZFS backed OST’s can be migrated to new hardware or to existing reconfigured hardware by leveraging ZFS snapshots and ZFS send/receive operations. The ZFS snapshot/send/receive migration method leverages incremental data transfers, allowing an initial data copy to be “caught up” with subsequent incremental changes.”
Video: Whamcloud is Back – Lustre Today and Future
July 8, 2018 by
Robert Triendl from DDN gave this talk at ISC 2018. “With their new Whamcloud Business Unit, DDN has already brought key Lustre developers on board to accelerate their high performance computing solutions. The acquisition also enables DDN to expand Lustre’s leading position from HPC and Exascale into high growth markets such as analytics, AI and hybrid cloud.”
Experiences in providing secure multi-tenant Lustre access to OpenStack
December 13, 2017 by
In this video from the DDN User Group at SC17, Dr. Peter Clapham from Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute presents: Experiences in providing secure multi-tenant Lustre access to OpenStack. “If you need 10,000 cores to perform an extra layer of analysis in an hour, you have to scale a significant cluster to get answers quickly. You need a real solution that can address everything from very small to extremely large data sets.”
MeDiCI – How to Withstand a Research Data Tsunami
December 12, 2017 by
Jake Carroll from The Queensland Brain Institute gave this talk at the DDN User Group. “The Metropolitan Data Caching Infrastructure (MeDiCI) project is a data storage fabric developed and trialled at UQ that delivers data to researchers where needed at any time. The “magic” of MeDiCI is it offers the illusion of a single virtual data centre next door even when it is actually distributed over potentially very wide areas with varying network connectivity.”
