5:15 PM - 6:00 PM
Traditional object storage is built for scale, not speed. Why not have both? Cloud Storage Rapid is a high-performance tier of object storage built for intensive workloads like data preparation, training, and inference. Used by some of the world’s largest AI and ML customers, Cloud Storage Rapid (including Anywhere Cache and Rapid Bucket) provides terabyte-scale throughput and submillisecond latency while maintaining simplicity, scale, and cost-effectiveness. Join us to dissect real-world architectures where feeding compute clusters directly from Google Cloud Storage maximizes graphics processing unit, tensor processing unit, and data management utilization while reducing overall complexity.
