Intel Optane Technology Use Case: VAST Data at DUG

HPC-as-a-Service provider DUG wanted to build a resilient and adaptive storage environment to expand into new verticals, including academia, astrophysics, medicine and genomics, wildfire modeling, and COVID 19 research, enabling access to large and complex datasets for customers. Their solution, boosts performance and reliability by switching from HDDs to petabytes of flash storage with VAST Data Universal Storage, powered by Intel Optane SSD. In this session, Howard Marks, Technologist Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary for VAST Data and Stuart Midgley, Chief Information Officer for DUG, discuss the solution with Kristie Mann, Sr. Director Optane DC Persistent Memory Products at Intel. The group also takes questions from the Storage Field Day delegates.
