Nexenta
by DDN announced its participation at
KubeCon
2019 in Shanghai, to speak on the power of open-source projects, creating
multi-homed network configurations, and how
Nexenta by DDN is powering China's largest automobile
company to run AI-driven Autonomous and Connected Vehicles.
Speaking will be Dmitry Yusupov, Founder and CTO at Nexenta by DDN. The
speaking session will be a KubeCon "Deep Dive" talk, and will take place on
Tuesday, June 25, from 18:15 - 18:50 China Standard Time (CST).
With the huge increase of adoption of cloud
computing, the vast majority of organizations now rely on the cloud
architectures, which are often used alongside edge computing in Internet of
Things (IoT) applications. As an industry leader, Nexenta by DDN has been
invited to speak on this topic and will cover the capabilities and features of NexentaEdge,
Scale-Out SDS for cloud-native applications, in the context of cloud computing.
NexentaEdge has the ability to use containers orchestration such as Kubernetes
to deliver efficient and cost-optimized automation.
During the speaking session, Yusupov will go into
detail on NexentaEdge and how it was built using EdgeFS and Rook.io. EdgeFS, an
open-core multi-cloud era filesystem for geo-transparent data access, in
combination with an open source cloud-native storage orchestrator for Kubernetes
originally developed by Upbound called Rook, provides the framework and support
for storage solutions to natively integrate with cloud-native environments.
Last month, Upbound announced the first release of Rook 1.0 after a long
history as an open-source project. Along with a demo on the EdgeFS and Rook
project, this session will cover the impact and value of open source.
"As a cloud-native open-source community, we depend
on contributors to aid in our success," said Bassam Tabbara, CEO of Upbound and
maintainer on Rook. "In combination with projects like EdgeFS, we can really
see what can manifest from collaboration."
With EdgeFS's unique global
and geographical transparency feature, data from IoT devices can be better
analyzed with serverless computing functions executed on any topology, and at
any physical location, without the need to worry about data consistency or
validity.
"We saw the need for more efficient and resilient hardware
and software server stacks needed for IoT cloud and edge computing," said
Yusupov. "To address this gap in the industry, we've launched EdgeFS, an open
core data layer tailored for Edge and IoT use cases."
A major example of the project success was revealed just this
month, when Nexenta by DDN announced that NexentaEdge, built on EdgeFS and
Rook, was chosen to power China's largest automobile company, SAIC Motor
Corporation. The technology now supports next-generation initiatives like
SAIC's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Self-Driving Car R&D Platform and
Internet Cloud Center - enabling SAIC Motor to dramatically improve efficiency,
resiliency and flexibility across multiple areas of business.
With the functionality of
EdgeFS, management complexity, performance problems and consistency of access
to remote data set is solved. In addition to developing a baseline of products,
EdgeFS has its eyes set on Alibaba integration support in an effort to connect
China to rest of the world.
KubeCon brings all
Cloud Native Computing projects together, joining leading technologists from
cloud native communities to further the advancement of cloud native computing. Get more information on the Nexenta by DDN speaking session
