Infotrend EonStor GS 5000U U.2 NVMe Hybrid Flash Unified Storage Powers Advanced AI Model Training
2U 24-bay U.2 NVMe SSD unified storage solution, up to 50GB/s throughput, with 1.3 million IO/s and low 0.3ms latency
This is a Press Release edited by StorageNewsletter.com on December 11, 2024 at 2:01 pmInfortrend Technology, Inc. announced that its U.2 NVMe hybrid flash storage solution, EonStor GS 5000U, is accelerating AI training workloads, enabling rapid data processing and the development of advanced AI models.
The solution now supports 200GbE connectivity, delivering high bandwidth and efficiency, even as workloads grow.
The rapid advancements in AI are reshaping industries. Research institutes WW are harnessing its power to drive innovation and solve complex challenges, investing in IT infrastructures able to handle AI-driven workloads. To optimize data processing during model training, especially given the intensive random RW patterns typical for these workloads, they need high-speed storage solutions capable of handling large datasets while supporting the efficient operation of compute resources like GPUs. For example, one use case needed storage with 140GB/s read throughput, integration with the Lustre file system, and 4PB of capacity to manage massive datasets, enhancing scalability and research efficiency.
EonStor GS 5000U, a high-performance 2U 24-bay U.2 NVMe SSD unified storage solution, is specially designed to meet the demands of AI model training. A single appliance achieves up to 50GB/s throughput, with 1.3 million IO/s and low 0.3ms latency. Fully compatible with the Lustre file system, this solution integrates into high-performance environments, with 3 GS 5000U appliances and 3 JB 3090 4U 90-bay HDD storage expansion enclosures delivering up to 140GB/s throughput and over 4PB of cold data storage capacity.
“EonStor GS 5000U is designed to accelerate AI workloads, speeding up model training and maximizing compute efficiency. This solution has been successfully implemented in several prominent research institutes around the world to tackle complex AI tasks, enabling breakthroughs in research and development,” said Frank Lee, senior director of product planning, Infortrend Technology.
