Join us for this tech talk where we will show you how Alluxio can help burst your private computing environment to Google Cloud, minimizing costs and I/O overhead. Alluxio coupled with Google’s open source data and analytics processing engine, Dataproc, enables zero-copy burst for faster query performance in the cloud so you can take advantage of resources that are not local to your data, without the need for managing the copying or syncing of that data.

“Zero-Copy” Hybrid Cloud for Data Analytics
Looking for more compute capacity with remote data?
See how “Zero-Copy” hybrid bursting helps
Alluxio enables compute
Data locality
Bring your data close to compute.
Make your data local to compute workloads for Spark caching, Presto caching, Hive caching and more.
Data Accessibility
Make your data accessible.
No matter if it sits on-prem or in the cloud, HDFS or S3, make your files and objects accessible in many different ways.
Data On-Demand
Make your data as elastic as compute.
Effortlessly orchestrate your data for compute in any cloud, even if data is spread across multiple clouds.
“zero-copy” burst user spotlight: walmart
Why Walmart chose Alluxio’s “Zero-Copy” burst solution:
- No requirement to persist data into the cloud
- Improved query performance and no network hops on recurrent queries
- Lower costs without the need for creating data copies

Featured Use Cases and Deployments
Managing data copies/app changes when bursting compute to cloud?
Zero-copy hybrid bursting with no app changes to intelligently make remote data accessible in the public cloud.
Expanding compute capacity across geo-distributed data centers?
Zero-copy bursting across data centers for Presto, Spark, and Hive with no app changes on data stored in HDFS.

What’s Happening
A collaboration of Alibaba, Alluxio, and Nanjing University in tackling the problems of Deep Learning model training in the cloud. Our goal was to reduce the cost and complexity of data access for Deep Learning training in a hybrid environment, which resulted in over 40% reduction in training time and cost.
Alluxio, the developer of open source cloud data orchestration software, today announced it has been named to the Computer Reseller News (CRN) Big Data 100 list – “The Coolest Data Management and Integration Tool Companies,” chosen a 2020 Data Breakthrough Awards “Best Data Access Solution of the Year” winner, and awarded an honorable mention on InsideBIGDATA “IMPACT 50 List for Q2 2020.”
This article shares a collaborative initiative between two open-source software, Intel Analytics Zoo and Alluxio, in accelerating deep learning on Apache Spark in the cloud environment. We propose a new architecture for training deep learning models in a hybrid cloud environment and demonstrate its performance benefits through standardized benchmarks
