Explore how Infrastructure Programming Unit (IPU) devices can simplify storage orchestration challenges in this 20-minute conference talk from SNIA SDC22. Learn about moving storage workload complexity from compute nodes to IPU cores, enabling flexible software development with hardware acceleration capabilities. Discover target agnostic frameworks and storage use cases, presented by Intel Technology Poland's Cloud Software Architects Jaroslaw Kogut and Tomasz Zawadzki. Delve into key topics including bare metal cloud implementation, virtualized cloud NVMe, scaling challenges, host-to-IPU feature migration, storage acceleration, Storage Performance Development Kit architecture, Storage Management Agent, IPDK overview, and OPI integration. Gain insights into how IPU technology can reduce compute node core consumption and streamline storage-over-network configurations.
