Is your backup strategy past its best-by date?

Jeff Whitaker of Panasas adds: “One constant in computing is the tremendous rate at which unstructured data continues to grow. And in the modern HPC ecosystem, the increasing convergence of traditional HPC with artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) workloads has resulted in massive volumes of high-performance data. Backup of this data is as business critical as it is challenging. The daily rate of file changes is incompatible with operational backup windows, and protection costs can be much higher if organisations attempt to reduce service downtime and I/O impact with existing traditional backup solutions.”

Breaking Down Data Silos in Life Sciences

Two common practices hinder the optimization of data use in the life sciences, writes Adam Marko, director of life science solutions at Panasas. These are data siloing and a practice Marko calls “distribute and delete.”

Distribute and delete is the practice of generating data for external use and deleting it once that data is delivered to its external recipient. Marko notes that life sciences companies may engage in this practice to free up storage space or processing power.

Honey, I Shrunk the Data

“We are currently – mostly – able to keep up… by prudent pruning of low-value data and the natural growth in the density of individual drives, along with the growth in the number of those drive. We will almost certainly require progressively deeper and deeper pruning of low-value data to stay ahead of that explosion. If DNA-based storage lives up its promise, we will be able to stop pruning and simply store everything.” – Curtis Anderson.
