AI Optimised Storage For Deep Learning Acceleration

AI OPTIMISED STORAGE FOR DEEP LEARNING ACCELERATION

Maximizing GPU usage of your DGX systems throughout your AI journey NVIDIA’s DGX range has helped shape the AI landscape and changed future possibilities. However, the DGX range has limited internal space for NVMe flash storage, an essential element for performance and overall capability.

PNY 3S-2400 AI Optimised Storage Server creates a central pool of ultra-low latency NVMe which can be shared amongst one or multiple DGX servers. Providing each DGX with the ideal level of resource without the need for upfront over investment.

Simply connected via NVIDIA compatible EDR InfiniBand / 100Gbe, the unique RDMA protocol ensures the NVMe resource is seen and performs as if it were internal to the DGX.

Benefits of AI Optimised Storage

30% FASTER TRAININGReal life deep learning projects show a massive 30% improvement in training times when compared to other solutions.Excellent performance with the standard storage synthetic benchmarks, with bandwidth, latency and IOPS, leaving others behind.

50% LOWER COSTCost and affordability are a key design focus. By removing the need for expensive storage controllers, costs are dramatically reduced, and more of your investment is spent on GPU and NVMe resource providing greater productivity and ROI.

100% SCALABILITYWith Scale-UP and Scale-OUT, both capacity and performance are not limited. Regardless of where you start, scaling is simple, fast and on demand.Providing a future proof solution and benefiting from the lowering trend of flash costs.

Blistering Performance for AI Workflows

AI STORAGE Benchmarks

Ensuring your project’s funds are better spentToday’s AI servers consume and analyse data at much higher rates than traditional storage solutions an deliver. Resulting in low GPU utilisation and dramatically extending training times as well as decreasing productivity. PNY 3S-2400 has been developed from the ground up for AI workloads and NVIDIA DGX optimisation. Delivering ultra-low latency and tremendous bandwidth at a price which allows more investment to be made on GPU resource and less on expensive, slower storage.

NVMe over Fabric Low Latency Storage

low-latency distributed

Excelero delivers low-latency distributed block storage for web-scale applications. NVMesh enables shared NVMe across any network and supports any local or distributed file system. The solution features an intelligent management layer that abstracts underlying hardware with CPU offload, creates logical volumes with redundancy, and provides centralised, intelligent management and monitoring.

Applications can enjoy the latency, throughput and IOPs of a local NVMe device with the convenience of centralised storage while avoiding proprietary hardware lock-in and reducing the overall storage TCO. NVMesh features a distributed block layer that allows unmodified applications to utilize pooled NVMe storage devices across a network at local speeds and latencies. Distributed NVMe storage resources are pooled with the ability to create arbitrary, dynamic block volumes that can be utilised by any host running the NVMesh block client.

Start Small. Scale Only When Needed

AI scaling

Help your team be more productive by taking full advantage of the DGX capabilityUnlike most storage solutions where the initial investment dictates future growth and performance, often resulting in the need to overspend for potential future growth.

PNY’s NVmesh design can scale in stages to suit your project without any limitation. Just purchase the capacity and performance you need today and feel secure that as you scale, so can your capacity and performance.

Flexible Design with Flexible Solutions

AI OPTIMISED STORAGE solutions

COMMON ENTRY LEVEL SOLUTIONS The image above shows three basic configurations, starting with the entry level bundle, a 2U 32 TB solution.

* DGX Software RAID is supported only when connecting to a single DGX solution

TAILORED RESILIENCERegardless of your resilience needs, PNY 3S-2400 storage server will maintain ulta-low latency and high performance for AI / DL workflows. Resilience options range from RAID0 to full mirrored solutions with No Single Point of Failure.

TECHNICAL SUPPORTWith 24/7 support and a range of on-site options, you can choose the package most effective for your organisation or project.
