In this sponsored post, Michael St-Jean from Red Hat advises that there’s no need to fear the data tsunami we’ve long been approaching. Today’s new tools and architectures will help you tame the ebb and flow of object data and weather the storm. As a recent analyst study shows, object data is not only highly scalable, it can deliver deterministic performance at massive scale—more than 10 billion objects.

A Scalable Object Store for Meteorological and Climate Data
July 24, 2017 by
Simon D. Smart gave this talk at the PASC17 conference. “Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and Climate simulations sit in the intersection between classically understood HPC and the Big Data communities. Driven by ever more ambitious scientific goals, both the size and number of output data elements generated as part of NWP operations has grown by several orders of magnitude, and will continue to grow into the future. This poses significant scalability challenges for the data processing pipeline, and the movement of data through and between stages is one of the most significant factors in this.”
