Microsoft Ignite 2019 - Azure HPC and Blob Hot Takes
Transcript
hey I was going to ski town sir from the CTO visor hope in union with all the background noise of MS at night gone in the background hot take a couple of Microsoft boosters that I've visited storage related both the hive HPC high performance compute booth and the blob storage which is basically Microsoft's s3 version - really it's solutions the HPC solution first really really interesting that is basically they're putting a caching layer in front of any storage you have and as you're specifically NetApp storage
they were kind of heavy to to mention that in front that front and up front and that you can put basically an NFS namespace in front of that that's all cached in memory charted across five or six up to five or six different nodes to hire the offer super high speed low latency storage for doing analytics against some HPC nodes in a zoo really cool other solutions blob service which you know we know this this is basically object storage s3 or as your the big differences
the back end is lots doors so really interesting hierarchy how they finally store the objects to a block storage device but more interesting that they're offering native NSF three access to that blob storage so you can point your NFS clients directly to blob storage which is really cool well that's it we'll hear more coverage from ms at night follow me on the web at CTU advisor on Twitter at the CTO browser comm talking next panting
