Graphs are playing a key role in big data analytics, providing insights in many domains through traditional graph algorithms and graph neural networks. As the size of these data sets increase, the computing power needed also increases and the software techniques to manage it becomes ever more critical. For example, there are Intel-based single node systems which can have up to 16TB of main memory with Optane DC PMM, large clusters of machines are available with thousands of cores, and specialized hardware for processing large scale graphs are being developed. Intel and Katana Graph are collaborating to produce an efficient and scalable graph analytics library that works across this wide variety of platforms.

Presented by Arijit Bandyopadhyay, CTO – Enterprise Analytics & AI and Head of Strategy – Cloud and Enterprise, Data Platforms Group, Intel Corporation, Ramesh Peri, Senior Principal Engineer at Intel Corporation, Intel’s Architecture, Graphics and Software Group, Intel Corporation, and Roshan Dathathri, Software Engineer, Katana Graph.

Object storage is already well-known for helping to solve growth challenges for large-scale data in the enterprise and within cloud service providers. Over the last decade, traditional deployments of object storage have exploited its advantages in scalability, low-cost and data immutability. This has helped to solve the need to store 100s of Terabytes to Petabytes of data in a reliable and cost-effective way for long-term storage such as for archival requirements. Now, a new breed of big data analytics applications has now emerged that is embracing object storage for much more performance-intensive active data workloads. This dramatically expands the use-cases for object storage into domains where traditional Tier1 storage systems were employed. This session will explore popular applications in the world of analytics, AI and Machine Learning and how they have embraced the popular Amazon S3 API and object storage to help solve these new and emerging problems. Presented by Paul Speciale, Chief Product Officer, Scality.
