The Future of HPC Storage – Expert Discussions from Virtual SC20

Gabriele Collier | November 20, 2020

Estimated reading time: 1 minute

SC20 has come and gone so fast and there’s always something you missed. If you want to catch up on how you can optimize your diverse HPC and AI workflows with data storage that automatically adapts to evolving small file and mixed workloads, check out the video links below. There are a number of expert discussions on a variety of topics such as the performance/cost conundrum, learning about the latest advances in parallel file system architecture, rethinking tiering, or evaluating the total cost of ownership.
