CRN noted that the recent Supercomputer 2024 conference brought together a range of AI and high-performance computing hardware and software, with innovations in storage technology taking a big part of the spotlight.
Hitachi iQ with HGX was one innovation highlighted by the CRN editors in this article.
Hitachi Vantara introduced Hitachi iQ with Nvidia HGX at SC24. The solution is an end-to-end-technology stack of scalable infrastructure to help saturate GPUs with data to decrease the time needed to gain insight from data. It offers Nvidia H100 and H200 Tensor Core GPUs, as well as the Nvidia AI enterprise cloud-native software platform tailored for high-performance AI workloads for developing and deploying GenAI applications.
Also included is the updated Hitachi Content Software for File platform with generation 5 PCIe, AMD EPYC processor technology, and high-performance networking with Nvidia ConnectX-7 400-Gbps InfiniBand or Ethernet interface cards. Also featured is high-density object storage integrated with Hitachi Content Software for File to scale compute and storage independently depending on data sizes, data types and workloads.
