I'm working on a great opportunity for WEKA involving about 17 petabytes of data.
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
It's really fast, flexible and new technology. We don't have any bottlenecks due to speed. We can snapshot all the data to object storage and replicate it to another site using the object storage features. You can take as many snapshots as you want to back up all your data. There's no limit to cluster size, so you can grow as many WEKA cluster nodes as you want.
Apart from snapshots of data to object storage, you can also tier the data, which is a different procedure. They can provide huge bandwidth or throughput to a single client. This is a very special platform for working with high-performance computing. You can use a server like a DGX or an NVIDIA and provide individual clients with almost 200 gigabytes per second. This is where PowerScale and Isilon have major limitations.
We don't have such limitations with Weka. That's why it's been indicated for high-performance computing clusters.
I'm very excited to work with this platform.
What needs improvement?
The next release of the product should include synchronous replication and VLAN integration.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using the solution for two and a half years.
What other advice do I have?
I would rate the product nine out of 10. If the product included synchronous replication and VLAN integration, I would rate it 10 out of 10.
WEKA is a totally different product. It has its own interface, but WEKA is the fastest commercial file system in the world. It's more related to artificial intelligence and machine learning in the infrastructure based on high-performance computing. This is the application of WEKA.
We are a partner to this product and resell it in Brazil.
