Effective data and storage management are crucial for efficient HPC workflows and can accelerate research while achieving reproducibility and preserving data for future reference. Join us as we discuss the impact of data management on HPC workflows and explore real-world use cases and best practices from organizations optimizing their data management in support of breakthrough research. The session will explore data management for immediate computational needs as well as alternatives for long-term data access, management, and preservation. This is an interactive session where we invite the audience to share best practices.
Jason recognized the concept of "Big Data" long before it became a buzzword, and that access to the broadest sets of data would provide the foundation for identifying patterns and making new discoveries. Arcitecta's purpose was crystallized in 2001 at Bundanon. The creative space, once the home of Australian painter Arthur Boyd, provided the perfect environment to distill Arcitecta's purpose.
Surrounded by writers, sculptors, painters and choreographers, Jason penned the first lines of Mediaflux and formed Arcitecta's vision: to create the best possible technology for handling all forms of data, with the capability to solve the most demanding data management problems with the simplest possible solutions.
Founding the company independently has given Jason control of his entrepreneurial mission without compromise – to create a product that makes a significant and long-term contribution to the way people value and leverage data, no matter what their enterprise.
Matt Starr is the Chief Technology Officer at Spectra Logic. Matt brings more than 25 years of technology experience to his role. As CTO, Matt is responsible for helping to define Spectra’s technology roadmap and execute on Spectra’s technology strategy.
As the company’s executive voice of the market, Matt leads Spectra’s efforts in high-performance computing, private cloud and other vertical markets, and currently directs Spectra’s Federal and APAC sales efforts.
His work experience includes management roles in service, hardware design, software development, operating systems and electronic design. Matt previously served as the lead engineering architect for the design and production of Spectra’s family of enterprise-class tape libraries. Under Matt’s direction, Spectra Logic secured more than 50 patents, establishing the company as an innovative technology leader in the data storage industry.
Mike leads the production High Performance Storage Systems (HPSS) team at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL). He has been at SNL for more than two decades, with over 15 years of experience in HPC, including being part of the team that supported the world’s first teraflop machine (ASCI Red).
In his time working in HPC storage, he has participated in the architecting and administration of multiple generations of storage solutions, up to exascale. He has particular interests around data management, data integrity, tape technologies and wide area networks (WAN).
Allan Williams is the Deputy Director (Innovative Compute Environments) at the National Computational Infrastructure. In this current role, he is responsible for the delivery of both high-quality and innovative integrated research infrastructure services supporting Australia’s leading researchers. He achieved this through re-building the systems and operational teams needed to deliver Australia’s largest public supercomputer, the world’s fastest research cloud and the southern hemisphere’s fastest filesystems.
Prior to his start at NCI, he was Director of IT Services for the ANU responsible for University Wide Corporate and Student IT services including networking, cybersecurity and telephony. He developed one of the earliest websites in Australia (number 800 in the world) and holds an honors science degree in Physics and Pure Mathematics and a postgraduate diploma in Computer Science.
The media and entertainment industry is in an exciting growth phase requiring studios to establish or acquire multiple physical sites around the world to scale up and distribute their increased workloads. Globally distribution environments have created a new challenge: managing cross-site data synchronisation. This problem requires a complex technological solution: a data and metadata management system that supports multi-site storage and iterative creative workflows.
Mediaflux® from Arcitecta is one of the few systems - if not the only one - that can act as a data management operating system, providing all the capabilities necessary to configure and choreograph media and entertainment data management pipelines for globally distributed team.
