Alluxio

Founded 2015

Cache remote cloud storage data close to compute clusters to accelerate machine learning workflows

You can use Alluxio to speed up machine learning training and inference pipelines by placing a distributed cache between your compute resources and persistent object storage. It eliminates network bottlenecks by keeping frequently accessed datasets in memory or local NVMe drives across hybrid or multi-cloud environments. The system connects directly to frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Ray using standard APIs like S3 and POSIX without requiring code changes. This reduces cloud egress fees, cuts down checkpoint write latency, and keeps your GPUs fully utilized.

Cache training datasets across Kubernetes nodesMount remote object stores locally using a POSIX file interfaceStream checkpoints asynchronously to persistent cloud storageMonitor cache hit rates and throughput across GPU clustersConnect PyTorch and Ray jobs directly to cached datasetsAccess shared datasets across multi-region cloud environmentsCompute-side distributed caching for cloud object storageSub-millisecond data access for AI training and inferencePOSIX, S3 API, and Python SDK support without code modificationsAccelerated checkpoint write-backs to avoid cloud storage throttlingMulti-cloud and hybrid-cloud unified data access namespaceZero manual data copying scripts or synchronization stepsHigh-throughput data serving directly to GPUs at local NVMe speeds
