- In September 2023, Amazon Web Services (AWS) introduced a new feature for Amazon FSx for Windows File Server, enabling users to adjust IOPS levels independently from storage capacity. This enhancement provides greater flexibility, allowing organizations to optimize performance based on workload demands. The update supports higher IOPS configurations, improving file system responsiveness while maintaining cost efficiency. Users can now fine-tune throughput and latency without modifying storage allocation
- In September 2023, Alibaba Cloud and Astra Tech signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to integrate Alibaba Cloud’s Enterprise Mobile Application Studio (EMAS) mobile testing solution into Botim, which is evolving into an ultra-app. This collaboration aims to enhance user experience by improving app performance, reliability, and seamless functionality. EMAS will support VoIP calls and video quality, offering 24/7 risk detection for app crashes, compatibility issues, and performance concerns. The partnership builds on Botim’s existing use of Alibaba Cloud’s services, including Elastic Compute Service (ECS), storage, networking, and databases
- In August 2023, Google Cloud introduced Parallelstore, a parallel file system designed to optimize AI/ML and High-Performance Computing (HPC) workloads. This solution prevents GPU resource waste by ensuring continuous data availability, eliminating delays caused by storage I/O bottlenecks. Built on Intel DAOS architecture, Parallelstore offers up to 6.3x read throughput performance compared to competitive Lustre Scratch offerings. It enables equal storage access across compute nodes, ensuring high-speed data retrieval for AI model training and HPC applications
- In March 2023, IBM and Wasabi Technologies announced a strategic collaboration to enable enterprises to run applications across any environment—on-premises, in the cloud, or at the edge—while ensuring real-time access to critical business data and analytics with cost-effectiveness. The Boston Red Sox became the first organization to leverage the joint power of IBM Cloud Satellite® and Wasabi hot cloud storage, enhancing data accessibility, security, and operational efficiency.
