Ceph and HPC: A Match Made in Data Center Heaven
High-performance computing is the new normal, and that means so too are the storage challenges that are generally associated with exascale workload outputs. Just because you don’t have supercomputers on-site, it doesn’t mean you’re off the hook. It might not at first appear to be HPC-level data outputs that you’re dealing with, but as AI […]
