Data-intensive workloads require underlying storage that can support large capacity, high throughput and low latency. High performance is required so that the compute resources, such as GPUs, can conduct training on different pieces of data in parallel, keeping accelerator utilization high while they are continually working. The storage system must respond quickly to multiple queries, otherwise, the preprocessing, training and inferencing processes could slow down. It must be able to handle quick data accesses, not only from one GPU, but from many GPUs simultaneously so that different models can be trained at the same time.
