My colleagues at #GCP and #Sycomp just launched #GPFS in the Google Cloud. Big step forward in delivering parallel I/O performance there--hearty congratulations!

Interesting glimpse into the higher ed #HPC/#storage market. As #DDN winds down GRIDScaler (#GPFS) and WOS (S3 object), who's winning? #VAST, at least in one case.

Migrations are hairy, so I feel for the poster.

Great nuggets in the latest #storage news ticker (https://blocksandfiles.com/2022/12/31/storage-news-ticker-31-dec-2022/). TIL:

1. #GPFS now has containerized clients for k8s - neat

2. Shipped _capacity_ CAGR for #tape thru 2027 is 21%, but actual revenue not so rosy. 80% of that is #LTO; remainder is 3592.

3. #YMTC was far enough in native Chinese NAND manufacture to win (then lose) a big deal with Apple. #Samsung picked up the contract, large enough to hike global prices by 10%.

You are absolutely correct!

The name itself is an abbreviation of: Distributed Asynchronous Object Storage

After years of #Lustre & #GPFS, I’m conditioned to associate parallel file systems with #HPC
