Vast Data and Nvidia are entering a new era of data storage and processing. VAST Data has implemented their storage control software in Nvidia’s BlueField-3 DPUs, allowing their stored data to be integrated directly into the core of Nvidia’s GPU servers. This turns the servers into, as VAST puts it, engines for AI data processing.
This cutting-edge technology provides our customers with outstanding performance, efficiency and security, which has the potential to take their businesses to new heights.
At Aixia, we find this innovation very exciting and interesting because, in addition to greatly increasing performance, it also has the potential to reduce both energy consumption and the size of data centers, which saves both the environment and money for our customers.
simplified and powerful AI data management
Vast Data’s storage control software integrates directly into Nvidia GPU servers, turning them into powerful AI data engines. By eliminating bottlenecks and optimizing data flow, unprecedented speed and efficiency is achieved.
Dedicated storage for each GPU server
Each server gets its own storage container, ensuring optimal performance and eliminating competition for data services. This provides a stable and reliable platform for demanding AI projects.
Improved safety and reduced energy consumption
Data management is isolated from the host operating system, providing an unprecedented level of data integrity and protection. In addition, the new architecture results in a significant reduction in energy consumption and data center footprint.
Advantages of the new technology:
Performance boost: Eliminates bottlenecks and provides maximum data flow speed.
Simplified infrastructure: Each GPU server gets a dedicated storage container, reducing complexity.
Scalability: The solution can be easily scaled up to meet the needs of demanding AI projects.
Enhanced security: Data management is isolated from the host operating system, providing an unprecedented level of data integrity and protection.
Reduced energy consumption: The new architecture results in a significant reduction in energy consumption and data center footprint.
