PEAK:AIO - OPEN PNFS FOR AI & HPC
THE FIRST FULLY OPEN pNFS PLATFORM FOR AI & HPC
From a single node to a supercluster, Peak AIO delivers linearly scalable data acceleration.
Developed with Los Alamos National Laboratory, it provides a unified path from NFS silos to Tier-0 performance — without the complexity.
WHAT DO AI & HPC TEAMS NEED:
Speed: AI and HPC teams need fast, predictable reads at scale.
Flexibility: Many platforms rely on proprietary clients or closed stacks.
Scalability: Expanding from pilot to production often adds cost and complexity.
THE PEAK:AIO ADVANTAGE
Parallel performance. NFS simplicity.
Clients read directly from the right data node using standard Linux NFS, allowing you to start small and scale seamlessly.
Built entirely on open standards — including pNFS Flex Files, RDMA, NVMe, and CXL — Peak AIO eliminates the need for legacy parallel file systems or proprietary software..
Parallel performance with NFS simplicity
THE ARCHITECTURE
- Client: standard Linux NFS with pNFS Flex Files
- Control path: light metadata path for LOOKUP, GETATTR and READDIR
- Data path: client reads directly from the correct data server, RDMA or TCP
- Data servers: NVMe, layout aware, steady small read latency
- Standards: pNFS Flex Files, RDMA, NVMe, CXL ready
- Open on server and client, no vendor lock in
