QLC SSDs enable RDMA Object Access for High Performance Object Storage
Object Storage has long been the domain of HDD arrays as the storing and retrieving of large contiguous objects can maximize the utilization of an HDD's available performance while minimizing the cost per TB. Each GPU & CPU generation increases performance dramatically resulting in significantly increased requirements for data ingest performance. Additionally, enabling RDMA for object storage moves data lakes closer to the compute. Historically, the latency of object storage systems has been ignored. However, as GPUs are now accessing object storage directly, we find that HDDs can no longer sustain the requirements for large-scale object storage solution. In this session we explore the performance characteristics of an object storage system on HDDs and QLC SSDs. Attendees will leave this session with an understanding of when to deploy QLC SSDs for their object storage needs and when HDDs are still able to offer "enough" performance.
