As AI clusters scale, traditional x86 storage architectures are collapsing under the sheer volume of unstructured data. This panel introduces the Open Flash Platform (OFP), a new architecture for building flash storage at exabyte-scale. The panel will detail how the integration of Xsight Labs’ E1 800G 64-core Arm DPU into an ultra-dense OFP flash storage system eliminates x86 storage servers to reduce power and rack space. By combining the OFP architecture with Hammerspace’s standards-based parallel file system, AI companies, research institutions, and neoclouds can build exabyte-scale flash storage at densities up to 10x today’s flash systems. We will share real-world insights from LANL on how open standards are building the future of exabyte-scale, serverless AI storage.

Join Hammerspace, Xsight Labs, and Los Alamos National Lab (LANL) for an exclusive panel discussion on breaking through AI storage bottlenecks with the Open Flash Platform (OFP).
