What can I do to speed up analytics performance on remote data?

Background Today’s advanced analytics applications run on more datasets that ever before. The locations of where data “lands” is becoming more dispersed. And the separation of compute and storage in modern environments lends well to running on these distributed datasets. Data can be stored in a remote location from the compute, such as in a … Continued

Tech Talk: Accelerating Spark with Kubernetes

Kubernetes is widely used across enterprises to orchestrate computation. And while Kubernetes helps improve flexibility and portability for computation in public/hybrid cloud environments across infrastructure providers, running data-intensive workloads can be challenging.

When it comes to efficiently moving data closer to Spark or Presto frameworks, co-locating data with these frameworks and accessing data from multiple or remote clouds is hard to do. That’s where Alluxio, an open source data orchestration platform, can help.

Alluxio enables data locality with your Spark and Presto workloads for faster performance and better data accessibility in Kubernetes. It also provides portability across storage providers.

In this on demand tech talk we’ll give a quick overview of Alluxio and the use cases it powers for Spark/Presto in Kubernetes. We’ll show you how to set up Alluxio and Spark/Presto to run in Kubernetes as well.

Accelerating Analytical Workloads for Public & Hybrid Clouds

New York Meetup *

In this meetup, Dipti and HY will present a new approach to hybrid analytical workloads using Alluxio, an open source data orchestration layer, which sits between compute and storage layer. Applications like Apache Spark or TensorFlow can then seamlessly access multiple disparate data sources with consistent performance using data locality and abstraction that the data orchestration tier brings.

Recap: Presto Summit SF 2019

Alluxio is a proud sponsor and exhibitor at the Presto Summit in San Francisco.
What’s Presto Summit? It’s the leading Presto conference co-organized by our partner Starburst Data and the Presto Software Foundation.
