This is the first time we’ve had Sumit Puri, CEO & GM Co-founder of Liqid on the show but both Greg and I have talked with in the past. Given that we talked with another composable infrastructure company…
Composable infrastructure, whereby resources are disaggregated and may be re-composed on the fly, stands to serve a number of key, future-forward IT infrastructure requirements.
From the business perspective, the investment of HPC systems is high most of the time, and justifying it to the executives and the investors is not easy. Therefore, it is critical to keep feeding the HPC systems and significantly minimize the idle times for compute, GPUs, network and storage.
Software composable infrastructures dynamically configure physical resources, using APIs to map storage and networking components to servers to create bare-metal compute instances.
In an update to its Command Center software, infrastructure platform Liqid has extended the solution’s ability to compose infrastructure across different fabric types.
Dell announces it is collaborating with Liqid to offer composable infrastructure solutions and services to enterprises across geographies and verticals. This is a major endorsement of Liqid's products. Here's how it could benefit you.
It’s been said that innovation begets innovation, and Liqid has developed a very interesting composable platform that builds upon recent developments in the areas of interconnect and fabric technology.
Liqid Composable Infrastructure is now part of the Dell Technologies OEM & IoT Solutions Portfolio. This is separate from Dell EMC’s own MX7000 composable system as the Liqid system composes virtual systems from pools of disaggregated GPUs, FPGAs, PowerEdge CPUs, NVMe storage and Intel Optane extension technologies, using a low-latency, intelligent fabric.
Composable systems supplier is extending its connectivity fabric support to enable its customers to dynamically compose servers from pools of CPU, GPU, FPGA, NVMe, and NICs regardless of underlying fabric type.
Graphical Processing Units (GPU’s) are being used to accelerate a number of applications, such as AI, media rendering and big data analysis. These high-performance applications place stringent requirements on the digital storage and memory hardware and managing software.
With cloud computing as ubiquitous as it is nowadays, it’s easy to forget that there’s still hardware out there. Behind the easy pay-as-you-go model, public cloud is really just someone else’s computer, hardware and all.
Liqid, a leading provider of composable infrastructure solutions and services, has announced that its adaptive composable infrastructure platform supports all of the latest NVIDIA GPU solutions, including the NVIDIA T4, NVIDIA V100 Tensor Cores and NVIDIA Quadro RTX GPUs.
When it comes to composable infrastructure, “HPE Synergy is the 800-pound gorilla,” said CEO and co-founder Sumit Puri. But, he added, “we’re gonna take over the world. The only question we have is: is it one year? Two years? Three years before we take over the world?”
Last year, I shared the results of our efforts to build a new AI-capable, deep learning supercomputer, with the best possible configuration in a single system with 16 P100. We crossed more than 2,000 images per second, which was our (figurative) Mach 2, while also training Resnet50 on Imagenet image dataset.
The Liqid Element AIC is an extreme performance, high capacity PCIe SSD, incorporating four m.2 NVMe SSDs and a PCIe switch in a HHHL package. It is designed to handle performance-demanding workloads and offer full compatibility with existing systems that support NVMe devices.
Composable systems supplier Liqid has added Optane SSDs to its cocktail of dynamic, roll-your-own server systems – the first amongst a crowd of composable vendors that are sure to follow suit.
I’ve been keen on rack-scale composable infrastructure for years. Decades even. But it’s only recently that we’ve had the technology to make it happen. You can now create a system or a rack that can flexibly allocate storage and compute using a shared I/O channel.
New-gen IT infrastructure provider Liqid and old-school chipmaker Intel have combined forces to produce a new alternative, solid state-based storage memory fabric in an effort to dislodge conventional DRAM (dymanic random-access memory) and bring better efficiencies to data centers.
The Liqid Composable technology from Broomfield, Colo.-based Liqid leverages industry-standard compute, networking, storage and GPU components to deliver a scalable architecture built from pools of disaggregated resources.
