Quantum announces support for ‘NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage’ capability

Quantum (QMCO) Corporation announced development of a new highly parallel file system client for the Quantum Myriad all-flash file system, designed to fully enable NVIDIA (NVDA) GPUDirect Storage capability while offering on-the-fly client node deployments with cross platform compatibility, including NVIDIA Grace Hopper with Grace ARM-based architectures. This new capability offers an innovative approach to building artificial intelligence AI /machine learning ML infrastructure intended to let customers add powerful new graphics processing unit GPU nodes to Myriad clusters as needed to respond quickly to evolving workflow and pipeline needs. Designed to maximize GPU utilization and performance, the client is optimized for GPU-intensive workloads such as AI/ML model training and inferencing, high-performance computing HPC visualization and modeling, and video rendering…”The growing demands of massive data analysis and AI/ML pipelines are driving the need for more agile, on-demand infrastructure solutions that are simple to implement and also ready for advanced technologies like NVIDIA GPUDirect Storage,” said Guy Currier, CTO, Futurum Research. “Organizations are increasingly looking for scalable, high-performance systems that can adapt to evolving workflows without requiring extensive new deployments. Simplicity, ease of use, and future-proof adaptability are critical factors in addressing these needs effectively.”
