ALLUXIO TECH TALK
As the amount of data analyzed and stored continues to grow exponentially, fixed on-premises infrastructure like Apache Hadoop data lakes becomes costly. Add to that the need to support newer and popular frameworks on an already busy data lake, it is not uncommon to see Hadoop-based data lakes running at beyond 100% utilization and hybrid processing split between physical and cloud infrastructure. As a result, companies are looking to leverage the flexibility and cost savings of the cloud.
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.
We’ll also show a demo on how to get up and running with Alluxio and Dataproc, including how to:
- Setup your hybrid environment between your private datacenter and Google Cloud Platform
- Burst a Spark based machine learning algorithm to Dataproc while accessing on-prem data
- Scale analytic workloads directly on data on-prem without copying and synchronizing the data into the cloud

Unlock the full performance of your AI/ML infrastructure on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI).
Join Oracle's Master Principal Cloud Architect Xinghong He and Alluxio's VP of Technology Bin Fan for an in-depth technical session exploring how modern tiered caching, optimized storage integration, and smart deployment choices can deliver sub-millisecond latency and up to 5× faster data access on OCI — at scale.
You'll learn about:
- Architectural insights: How Alluxio’s tiered caching architecture works with OCI Object Storage and BM.DenseIO compute instances to eliminate data access bottlenecks.
- Benchmark-proven results: See real MLPerf Storage 2.0 and Warp benchmark outcomes demonstrating sub-millisecond latency and dramatic throughput gains.
- Deployment strategies: Compare deployment options — dedicated mode for peak performance vs. co-located mode for cost-efficient scale.
- Practical, actionable guidance: Implementation best practices you can apply directly to your AI/ML workloads on OCI.
Fireworks AI is a leading inference cloud provider for Generative AI, powering real-time inference and fine-tuning services for customers' applications that require minimal latency, high throughput, and high concurrency. Their GPU infrastructure spans 10+ clouds and 15+ regions, serving enterprises and developers deploying production AI workloads at scale.
With model sizes reaching 70GB+, Fireworks AI faced critical challenges: eliminating cold start delays, managing highly concurrent model downloads across GPU clusters, reducing tens of thousands in annual cloud egress costs, and automating manual pipeline management that consumed 4+ hours weekly. They chose Alluxio as their solution to scale with their hyper-growth without requiring dedicated infrastructure resources.
In this tech talk, Akram Bawayah, Software Engineer at Fireworks AI, and Bin Fan, VP of Technology at Alluxio, share how Fireworks AI uses Alluxio to power their multi-cloud inference infrastructure.
They discuss:
- How Fireworks AI uses Alluxio in its high-performance model distribution system to deliver fast, reliable inference across multiple clouds
- How implementing Alluxio distributed caching achieved 1TB/s+ model deployment throughput, reducing model loading from hours to minutes while significantly cutting cloud egress costs
- How to simplify infrastructure operations and seamlessly scale model distribution across multi-cloud GPU environments
