Title: Data Reliability: HPC’s Dark Horse
Abstract: Why is it that discussions on enterprise infrastructure frequently revolve around RAS pillars, while the HPC world fixates only on performance and scalability? Isn’t reliability equally important? What about availability? At Panasas, we know that they are. Learn how prioritizing uptime and data resilience with Panasas when building your infrastructure makes all the difference.

Title: CXL Extended Storage Applications & Connectivity
Abstract: CXL architectural concepts for storage centric applications including persistent memory options along with advances in optical connections for distance. Presentation discusses CXL 2.0 Persistent memory support constructs and capabilities. We’ll also look at the need for disaggregated solutions and connectivity options.
Speaker: Dave Allen, Associate Fellow, Microchip
Time: 11:30 AM
Title: Mach 2: Accelerating The Datasphere
Abstract: Seagate’s Mach-2 technologies enable nearly double your solution performance and optimize your TCO, from a cost, density and power efficiency perspectives. Mach 2 also helps solve your HDD IOPS/TB storage challenge given our planned fast increase in media density and storage unit capacity.
Speaker: Mohamad El-Batal, Technologist – OCTO
Time: 12:30 PM
Title: The Research Data Silo Problem
Abstract: Are you continually adding storage instruments and storage arrays? Managing multiple storage devices adds unnecessary overhead, complexity, and limits the ability for collaboration. See how Panasas can centralize your data so you can devote more time to research efforts.
Speaker: Adam Marko, Director of Life Sciences
Time: 1:30 PM
Title: NASA Goddard’s Explore Cloud is Firing on All Cylinders
Abstract: In 2019 and 2020, the NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) at Goddard Space Flight Center was facing major issues associated with filesystem stability and user access. As such, the on-premises virtual environment, ADAPT, was in a Severity 1 (Red) or Severity 2 (Yellow) status much of those years. The Cloud Computing Team performed an analysis of available storage options and recommended that the Government procure a Panasas storage array. After putting the Panasas array into service, unplanned downtimes were greatly reduced, user perceptions increased, and NASA scientists and partners were able to improve the iterative analysis required for climate science.
Speakers: Jim Shute, Cloud Computing and Data Sciences Lead, NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS) and Brian Roth, Senior Linux Administrator, NASA Center for Climate Simulation (NCCS)
Time: 2:30 PM
Title: Long-term Preservation and Storage Cost Optimization
Abstract: John Diel from Atempo will discuss the value proposition of the collaboration between Panasas and Atempo through real world case studies of HPC archiving workflows
Speaker: John Diel, Sales Director, Americas
Time: 3:30 PM
Title: Accelerating Storage IO w/NVIDIA Networking
Abstract: NVIDIA Networking accelerates storage IO everywhere and provides unmatched IO performance for our storage partners, whether in the Cloud, On-Prem or at the Edge. NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand and NVIDIA Spectrum Ethernet deliver a complete end-to-end networking solution that takes advantage of NVIDIA technologies such as NVIDIA Mangum IO, storage accelerators, and offloads to support large HPC and AI Enterprise storage solutions. We will discuss how, with our strong partnership with Panasas, they have designed reference architectures to take full advantage of NVIDIA networking platforms.
Speaker: Reggie Reynolds, Product Marketing Manager, Networking
Time: 4:30 PM
Title: TVAR/Panasas – a partnership in Parallel
Abstract: TVAR Solutions is a small business enterprise solutions provider focused on solving the complex technical challenges of the Federal Government and its’ Systems Integrators. TVAR’s partnership with Panasas has given both organizations the ability to broaden our offerings and provide new and existing customers with simple and innovative solutions to address the complex workloads they endure daily.
Speaker: Julian Ramirez, Account Manager – Navy/USMC
Time: 10:30 AM
Title: Revolutionizing Modeling and Simulation with AI Advancements
Abstract: This talk explores the transformative impact of AI advancements on modeling and simulation, and highlights Altair’s dynamic AI and ML solution set.
Speaker: Eric Lequiniou, Senior Vice President of Radioss Development and Altair Solver HPC
Time: 11:30 AM
Title: New Requirements & Architectures: The Evolution of HPC Storage
Abstract: Over the last 10 years, the expectations for storage solutions have changed at HPC sites, and the trends that brought those changes will continue. In the old days, uptime was measured in weeks, because peak performance was the only metric of merit. Today, we have AI/ML workloads taking significant compute time, edge computing and distributed datacenter strategies bringing WANs into our workflows, and cloud-based compute to somehow factor into our plans. As our workflows evolve, we are recognizing the metrics of uptime and overall utilization of computer clusters as more important than peak performance.
Speaker: Curtis Anderson, Solutions Architect

Title: The Great OS Migration and Protecting the Source Code
Abstract: CentOS will sunset on June 30, 2024 and will no longer be receiving security updates. This along with source code being locked down has created even more questions about the future of Enterprise Linux. CIQ is looking to solve that problem by being the founding sponsor of Rocky Linux and by founding the OpenELA with Oracle and Suse.
Speaker: Dave Dickerson, Director of Strategic Partnerships
