Andy Warfield, co-founder and CTO at Coho Data discusses hardware trends in datacenter computing, and describes the specific performance challenges facing storage system designs. As nonvolatile memories become denser sources of both performance and capacity, storage systems must increasingly learn from packet processing architectures. Andy discusses how Coho is taking advantage of a converged approach that integrates tightly with software defined networking (SDN), and how Coho is using software tools such as Intel’s Data Path Development Kit (DPDK) in the design of its storage system.

Andy Warfield, co-founder and CTO at Coho Data discusses the challenges faced in designing a high performance and cost effective storage system using a diverse range of emerging storage media. The presentation describes how even without spinning disks, sensible storage system design will incorporate multiple types of nonvolatile memory, including SATA/SAS flash, PCIe/NVMe, and NVDIMM. Combining these diverse types of media presents a connectivity and analytics problem in system architecture, and the presentation provides a high-level overview of some advanced techniques that Coho has developed for understanding and adapting to application workloads.

Andy Warfield, co-founder and CTO at Coho Data discusses recent (and early!) work at Coho Data to incorporate data analytics engines, such as Cloudera’s CDH5 within Coho’s storage system. He describes two real customer use cases for converging storage and analytics toolchains, and then broadens to explore how Coho is taking advantage of container technologies like Docker to build a scalable and efficiency-oriented platform for datacenter workloads.
