DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Wolfgang Mertz (CTO HPC Dell EMC Isilon)\nTraditiona
 lly when architecting the storage for an HPC environment the focus is on p
 erformance of the file system.  There is another challenge though\, as one
  has to manage all the files that are used for input or created as output\
 , typically over a long period of time.  There is even value in this data 
 that can be mined via modern analytics methods (aka Hadoop) or used for AI
 /ML.  This session will outline why it is essential to use different solut
 ions to address “the performance challenge” and “the persistent data
  challenge”.\n \nBiography: Wolfgang holds a PhD on computer aided engin
 eering.  In his more than 25 years in the IT industry he held various tech
 nical and strategic positions.  He focuses on understanding the verticals
 ’ specific processes\, needs and applications\, which he then links to t
 he IT product’s features and capabilities in order to achieve the best r
 esults for the customers.  In his current role as CTO for EMEA in Dell EMC
 ’s Unstructured Storage Team he specializes mainly HPC and related verti
 cals.  Wolfgang also follows the immense transformations IT is currently u
 ndergoing\; this especially includes the new capabilities data lakes\, big
  data analytics and AI/ML offer.\n\nhttps://events.chpc.ac.za/event/6/cont
