This presentation will provide a technical overview of Distributed Asynchronous Object Store (DAOS), a software-defined object store designed from the ground up for massively distributed Non-Volatile Memory (NVM), including Intel Optane DC persistent memory and Intel Optane DC SSDs. This presentation will also introduce the performance and explain main features of DAOS.

You are encouraged to bring questions for live Q&A with our speaker and IXPUG members!
