With the rise in recent years, container applications, persistent storage has become a major obstacle to the use of the application.
Container processing machine has become the mainstream and deep learning applications, more and more vendors are focusing on large amounts of data and can be linked to the flash memory interface container orchestration platform.
VAST Data is one of them, which this week announced the general availability of container storage interface, the interface is designed to be deployed across a variety of standard container platforms and storage management services.
The company said, except that more affordable to the flash memory outside of the transfer, the interface may also store "programming configuration" Persistent scheduling storage volume in the container platform (e.g. Kubernetes and Red Hat OpenShift).
Previously, Red Hat released the latest version of OpenShift storage container, called a "corporate Kubernetes platform", linked to the data service multiple public cloud providers, including Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). Incidental objects and storage expansion called Red Hat support data-intensive workloads across Kubernetes hybrid cloud deployments running.
VAST Data Interface and 3D Xpoint framework incorporates flash memory, and four units NVMe-over-fabric.
The company said stored algorithm designed to reduce the cost of these data to the flash memory, so that the full Flash applications to run in a container.
Jeff Denworth VAST co-founder and vice president of products, said the storage platform to achieve a storage pool CPU and remote direct memory access, in order to improve the performance of the network file system protocol supports persistent storage volumes. As a result, only a memory interface, and can be suitable for container treatment AI other data-intensive workloads.
Denworth added: "Now we can enable enterprises to [hard disk drive] will be priced all-flash performance and capacity into the use of container platform VAST container storage interface.
The company further claimed that its container interface data streams to close speed 9 Gb / s transmission into a single container, four times the speed of traditional network-attached storage.
Persistent storage with full Flash technology, combined memory structure and also highlighted various public cloud storage Kubernetes frame (e.g. Amazon S3) Hadoop how to replace traditional methods, such as a training model of AI.
Further, Docker Hub provides Kubernetes storage interface driver of VAST Data.
In Israel VAST Data was created by Renen Hallak, focus on big data and cloud storage.
Hallak was the company's chief technology officer XtremIO, filed 17 patents. He said he was responsible for the architecture and development XtremIO all-flash array.
Jeff Denworth CTERA marketing director has joined the company as vice president of product management, Shachar Fienblit served as vice president of research and development, he was the company's chief technology officer Kaminario.
Like with Tachyum, VAST Data also operates in stealth mode, we have no information about the funds and product direction. Alon Horev is a senior software engineer VAST Data, listing a number of software engineers on LinkedIn, but no hardware man.
