Quantum Myriad All-Flash Scale-Out Architecture

Event:

Appearance: Quantum Tech Field Day Showcase

Company: Quantum

Personnel: Ben Jarvis

Ben Jarvis, Lead Storage Architect, discusses the innovative architecture of the Quantum Myriad all-flash scale-out storage system. Myriad was designed from the ground up to handle high-performance video and HPC workloads, leveraging large scale-out internet-facing service paradigms. It utilizes a microservices container-based system running on Kubernetes, deployed on white box commodity hardware, and is optimized for NVMe flash storage and high-performance RDMA Ethernet networks.
The system is designed to invert traditional storage models by optimizing software to fully utilize the hardware’s capabilities, focusing on memory bandwidth and minimizing context switches. Myriad’s architecture supports inline data protection, data reduction through compression and deduplication, and presents a self-contained cluster to customers.
Jarvis explains the integration with Kubernetes for state management and the system’s approach to handling physical storage on nodes. Myriad operates on a transactional key-value store basis, supporting transactions necessary for a POSIX-compliant file system. It employs a redirected write system with data protection through mirroring and erasure encoding, optimizing for low-latency, high-concurrency operations. The system’s design avoids performance bottlenecks common in traditional storage systems by adopting a work-at-risk approach for managing transactions. This method allows for independent operations with synchronization only at the end, significantly reducing the probability of conflicts and enabling the system to scale efficiently. Myriad is optimized for workloads that do not involve simultaneous writes to the same file by multiple nodes, steering clear of legacy HPC workloads that do not align with its architectural advantages.

Personnel: Neeloy Bhattacharyya, Sandeep Brahmarouthu

In this discussion, Neeloy Bhattacharyya from VAST Data and Sandeep Brahmarouthu from Run:ai explore the complexities of deploying AI for high-value use cases at scale, focusing on the movement and management of data throughout the AI pipeline. They identify a common challenge in organizations where the processes of data preparation and model training and inference are often separated, leading to inefficiencies. They emphasize the importance of understanding data provenance and lineage to leverage AI effectively, especially for innovative use cases.

VAST Data’s approach involves simplifying the AI data pipeline by integrating data capture, preparation, training, and model serving processes more closely, highlighting the inefficiencies of traditional data storage and processing methods. Bhattacharyya introduces the concept of “data adjacency,” where certain functions are more efficiently run closer to where the data is stored to improve processing times and outcomes.

Brahmarouthu discusses Run:ai’s role in managing GPU resources for AI workloads, addressing the challenge of efficiently scheduling and utilizing GPUs across different teams and projects within an organization. He highlights the importance of Kubernetes in managing these resources, despite its limitations for AI-specific workloads, and how Run:ai enhances Kubernetes to better serve AI applications.

The conversation also touches on the operational challenges of deploying AI within enterprises, including the need for a DevOps model that accommodates the experimental nature of AI. They discuss the importance of infrastructure and technology partnerships, like the one between VAST Data and Run:ai, in creating efficient, scalable AI deployment strategies.
