The newly launched DAOS Foundation is an initiative aimed at advancing the governance and development of the Distributed Asynchronous Object Storage (DAOS) project.
Distributed Asynchronous Object Storage (DAOS) is an open source storage system technology that aims to redefine performance for a wide spectrum of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence AI workloads.
DAOS is designed to support high bandwidth, low latency deployments and high I/O operations per second (IOPS).
Featuring support from founding members Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Enakta Labs, Google Cloud, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) and Intel, DAOS works through the creation of a fully distributed key-value storage architecture that mitigates the data and metadata bottlenecks commonly associated with traditional POSIX-based HPC storage systems.
