Data compute services are essential for organisations to manage variable workflow demands, whether on-site or in the cloud. Mediaflux Burst provides a solution by enabling flexible scaling of workflows through remote or cloud resources, improving efficiency, particularly for companies with limited local computing power.
Traditionally, co-locating computing and storage reduced latency but restricted flexibility and increased costs. Mediaflux Burst allows businesses to decouple data storage from computing, enhancing cost management and security while utilising remote data centres and cloud resources without sacrificing performance.
Mediaflux Burst is a filesystem caching solution designed for data-intensive high-performance computing (HPC) tasks. Leveraging the scalability of cloud computing, Mediaflux Burst ensures your data is accessible exactly where and when you need it, even if it’s stored on-premises.
Mediaflux’s cloud caching seamlessly integrates with PowerScale. This hybrid approach allows you to harness the power of cloud computing without moving your files, providing a perfect blend of on-premises and cloud capabilities.
Utilise compute resources at another site when local resources are scarce, and additional resources are needed.
Whether moving data to the cloud for a single project or permanently shifting your entire workflow, Mediaflux Burst optimises cloud compute resources by utilising data stored on-premises with cloud computing services.
Experiencing slow or inconsistent overall performance due to long file access times (ranging from tens of milliseconds to seconds), which is unacceptable to end-users.
Data stored across long distances needs to be accessed, making permanent data movement impractical.
Facing significant latency issues due to concurrent client requests, especially in high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.
Requiring a caching solution to scale existing pipelines into cloud virtual machines without rearchitecting workflows.
Enhance application performance and reduce latency by dynamically scaling cache for any storage size.
Store data flexibly across traditional NAS and cloud platforms, including NFSv3 via Dell PowerScale.
Streamline resource management with a unified directory for critical data and easily add compute resources.
Manage increasing demands by shifting excess capacity to the cloud, ensuring low latency and rapid access.
