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
In this talk, Eric Wang, Senior Staff Software Engineer introduces Uber’s open-source generative end-to-end ML lifecycle management platform: Michelangelo.

For many latency-sensitive SQL workloads, Presto is often bound by retrieving distant data. In this talk, Rohit Jain from Facebook will introduce their teams’ collaboration with Alluxio on adding a local on-SSD Alluxio cache inside Presto workers at Facebook to improve queries with unsatisfied latency.
Presto, an open source distributed SQL engine, is widely recognized for its low-latency queries, high concurrency, and native ability to query multiple data sources. Proven at scale in a variety of use cases at Comcast, GrubHub, FINRA, LinkedIn, Lyft, Netflix, Slack, Zalando, in the last few years Presto experienced an unprecedented growth in popularity in both on-premises and cloud deployments over Object Stores, HDFS, NoSQL and RDBMS data stores.
Delta Lake, a storage layer originally invented by Databricks and recently open sourced, brings ACID capabilities to big datasets held in Object Storage. While initially designed for Spark, Delta Lake now supports multiple query compute engines including Presto.
In this talk we discuss how Presto enables query-time correlations between Delta Lake, Snowflake, and Elasticsearch to drive interactive BI analytics across disparate datasets.
Presto & Alluxio on AWS: How we build a Up-To-Date Data-Platform at Ryte. Video: Presentation Slides: Introducing the Hub for Data Orchestration from Alluxio, Inc.
This talk introduces T3Go’s solution in building an enterprise-level data lake based on Apache Hudi & Alluxio, and how to use Alluxio to accelerate the reading and writing of data on the data lake when compute and storage are segregated.
Unicom’s traditional batch architecture consists mainly of IOE, Hive, and Greenplum systems. With the development of business, a large number of computing application modules based on diverse scenarios, chimney-like, decentralized applications have emerged. To solve the problem of resource fragmentation, we have introduced a unified computing platform for computing ecology with Spark and Alluxio as the core. Alluxio plays an important role in accelerating data processing and ensuring process stability.
Describe benefits and methods Alluxio enables secure data access in the Comcast’s dx hybrid data cloud.
- Review the data access challenges and tradeoffs in hybrid cloud
- Review our hybrid architecture and the important role Alluxio plays
- Provide performance metrics to highlight the benefits
Data infrastructure on-premises is increasingly complex and cloud adoption is attractive for business agility. Operating a hybrid environment is an approach to start benefiting from cloud elasticity quickly without abandoning the infrastructure on-premises. In this session I will discuss the benefits of using Alluxio’s Data Orchestration Platform to dynamically burst Apache Spark and Presto workloads to Amazon EMR for best performance and agility.
Dataproc is Google’s managed Hadoop and Spark platform. In this talk, we will showcase how to swiftly build a hybrid cloud data platform with Alluxio and Presto and migrate data seamlessly.
Today, many people run deep learning applications with training data from separate storage such as object storage or remote data centers. This presentation will demo the Intel Analytics Zoo + Alluxio stack, an architecture that enables high performance while keeping cost and resource efficiency balanced without network being I/O bottlenecked.
Intel Analytics Zoo is a unified data analytics and AI platform open-sourced by Intel. It seamlessly unites TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, Spark, Flink, and Ray programs into an integrated pipeline, which can transparently scale from a laptop to large clusters to process production big data. Alluxio, as an open-source data orchestration layer, accelerates data loading and processing in Analytics Zoo deep learning applications.
This talk, we will go over:
- What is Analytics Zoo and how it works
- How to run Analytics Zoo with Alluxio in deep learning applications
- Initial performance benchmark results using the Analytics Zoo + Alluxio stack
