This week on the podcast, we cover SAN – what it is and when to use it, as well as the new free tool, SAN Health from Brocade with SAN/Perf/NVMe TME Michael Peppers, SAN Technical Architect Steve Botkin and Naem Saafein from Broadcom! Want to see if your SAN can perform even better? Register for […]
Welcome to the third part of this five-part series on choosing storage for your high-performance computing (HPC) solution. In the first two blog posts, I talked about speed and reliability. Now, I will cover a characteristic that seems to go against all basic aspects of HPC: simplicity. HPC environments are inherently complex. Hundreds or […]
In our common quest to democratize AI, we have partnered with H2O.ai and integrated NetApp Cloud Volumes Service, our cloud-native file storage service, with H2O Driverless AI. This was first announced in a joint session at H2O World in San Francisco on Feb 5, 2019. Summarized in the below sections are a few high-level details […]
If you already use NetApp® OnCommand® Workflow Automation (OnCommand WFA), you know how with the highly flexible automation framework, you can automate simple to complex storage processes, primarily targeted towards NetApp storage systems. By default, OnCommand WFA ships with over 50 workflows that you can customize to your environment and automation needs. You’re not limited […]
If you’ve ever been to Disneyworld, you’ve likely gotten the “It’s A Small World” song stuck in your head. (If not, I bet it is now.) I always associate it with the spinning teacup ride. The premise of the song is that we’re not alone where we live – that we share the world with […]
With Microsoft SQL Server Always On availability groups, you have the option to back up databases from either the primary node, the secondary node, or the preferred node. This option has been available ever since availability groups were introduced. The capability to offload the backup task to a secondary instance is the primary use […]
This week on the podcast, we nerd out on data science and what it means to NetApp and its customers with a couple of NetApp data scientists – Garth Zoller (zoller@netapp.com) and Stephen Kimel (stephen.kimel@netapp.com). We also get input from the ONTAP AI product manager Sundar Ranganathan (sundar.ranganathan@netapp.com) and performance analyst Sung-Han Lin (sunghan.lin@netapp.com) […]
Welcome to the second part of this five-part series on choosing storage for your high-performance computing (HPC) solution. In the first blog post, I talked about speed. Now, I will cover a characteristic that all your HPC operations depend on: reliability. If your storage system is unavailable, data cannot be accessed, and work comes […]
NetApp has a bit of a compulsion. We keep publishing SPEC SFS®2014_swbuild numbers! And why wouldn’t we, when we keep hitting #1 on the list? But, right now, we’re in a bit of an arms race against another vendor that also loves to post SPEC SFS®2014_swbuild numbers. After we posted #1 numbers in November, […]
In my previous post, I explained how NetApp and NVIDIA bridge the CPU and GPU universes, enabling you to tackle a wide variety of computing problems more efficiently: NVIDIA GPU computing helps you significantly reduce server sprawl, and NetApp helps you reduce data sprawl by coupling flash, NVMe-oF, and SCM acceleration with intelligent data management, […]
Among the many possible applications of artificial intelligence, an impressive use case stands out: the visual recognition and analysis of materials and products in video streams and images. This process is the starting point for countless application possibilities in a wide variety of industries. The underlying principle is that pure analytics gains knowledge, however, but […]
High-performance computing (HPC) is the ability to process data and perform complex calculations at high speeds. HPC is the foundation for scientific, industrial, and societal advancements. It is through data that groundbreaking scientific discoveries are made, game-changing innovations are fueled, and quality of life for billions of people around the globe is improved. Two […]
