Open-source software contribution fuses PyTorch with Cloudian and AWS Hybrid Edge
Cloudian has announced an opensource software contribution that fuses PyTorch with local Cloudian HyperStore S3- compatible storage solutions .
This pioneering development is set to accelerate Machine Learning workflows by allowing PyTorch users on AWS Hybrid Edge solutions to directly access local data lakes running on Cloudian storage .
This allows data scientists and AI developers to run ML on data resident in local Cloudian S3- compatible object storage , without the need to move and stage the data into another system . data migration as part of a ML workflows – with data able to be analysed at the source .
This open-source contribution bridges the gap between distributed S3-compatible object storage systems and ML compute platform , eliminating the dependency on a dedicated parallel file system for Machine Learning workflows .
By enabling direct access to a cost-effective , scalable data repository , Cloudian simplifies the ML process , reducing both complexity and costs associated with data analysis .
The key benefits of this development are :
• Data Sovereignty
• Simplified Workflow
• Seamless Integration
• Local Performance
“ With this contribution , we offer the ML community a tool that integrates two of their most important needs : the computational power of PyTorch and fast , flexible access to training data on S3-compatible storage ,” a Cloudian spokesperson said .
The ML tasks can also run on local compute resources such as AWS Outposts and Local Zones .
By bridging the gap between S3-compatible object storage systems and ML compute platforms , Cloudian is reducing the need for
Vertiv appoints Multimedia Technology as Australian IT distributor
Vertiv has appointed Multimedia
Technology ( MMT ) as distributor of Vertiv ’ s full portfolio of power , cooling and IT infrastructure solutions and services in Australia .
Headquartered in Melbourne , MMT is one of Australia ’ s leading technology distributors , specialising in IT , AV , software and communications technologies – with more than 50 vendors and more than 5,300 organisations in its active partner network .
MMT and its Australian IT partners will have access to Vertiv ’ s full product portfolio , from single-phase UPS ( uninterruptible power supply ), precision cooling and racks to fully integrated and modular solutions , including the Vertiv SmartCabinet2-M and the newly launched Vertiv SmartRow2 – both selfcontained data centers designed for Edge Computing applications .
MMT sees the new agreement with Vertiv as an opportunity to strengthen its presence in the field of AI-Driven Digital Transformation .
Johan Meyer , CEO , MMT said : “ This forms part of a broader strategy to deepen our IT capability .
“ Our system integrators and managed service providers are seeking to address their power supply and cooling concerns when helping businesses leverage their IT and AI deployments .
“ With Vertiv , we ’ re extending expert support in this space by removing the pain points in hardware procurement and creating a more streamlined experience for our channel partners .”
LuLu Shiraz , Sales Director , ANZ , Vertiv , said : “ MMT offers a breadth of solutions that align seamlessly with Vertiv ’ s suite of critical infrastructure solutions , supporting the ever-growing demands of IT and AIrelated workloads .”
