Cloudian and Lenovo have announced the general availability of a new Cloudian HyperStore AI data lake platform – boasting breakthrough levels of performance and power efficiency.
Built on Lenovo ThinkSystem SR635 V3 all-flash servers with AMD EPYC™ 9454P processors, the new solution demonstrated performance of 28.7 GB/s reads and 18.4 GB/s writes from a cluster of six power-efficient, single-processor servers, delivering a 74% power efficiency improvement versus a HDD-based system in Cloudian testing.
“There’s a big focus on the AI boom in Australia, New Zealand and across APAC, and it’s easy to see why when bodies like the CSIRO say the Australian market alone could be worth close to A$500 billion in the next few years4,” said James Wright, Managing Director Asia Pacific and Japan, Cloudian.
“But there’s a storage and infrastructure layer that companies and government agencies need to power the data-hungry workloads central to AI’s performance and functionality. What’s out there now simply won’t cut it – particularly with AI in play.”
“Combining Lenovo’s high-performance all-flash AMD EPYC CPU-based servers with Cloudian’s AI data lake software creates a solution that can handle the most demanding AI and analytics workloads,” said Stuart McRae, General Manager, Lenovo.
“This partnership enables us to offer our customers a cutting-edge, scalable, and secure platform that will help them accelerate their AI initiatives and drive innovation.”
