For write-heavy AI and analytics workloads, cloud object storage can become the primary bottleneck. This post introduces how Alluxio S3 Write Cache decouples performance from backend limits, reducing write latency up to 8X - down to ~4–6 ms for concurrent and bursty PUT workloads.

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has published a technical solution blog demonstrating how Alluxio on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) delivers exceptional performance for AI and machine learning workloads, achieving sub-millisecond average latency, near-linear scalability, and over 90% GPU utilization across 350 accelerators.
