ALLUXIO WEBINAR | 10X Faster trino queries on your data platform | tue, june 18 @11:00am pst
As Trino users increasingly rely on cloud object storage for retrieving data, speed and cloud cost have become major challenges. The separation of compute and storage creates latency challenges when querying datasets; scanning data between storage and compute tiers becomes I/O bound. On the other hand, cloud API costs related to GET/LIST operations and cross-region data transfer add up quickly.
The newly introduced Trino file system cache by Alluxio aims to overcome the above challenges. In this session, Jianjian will dive into Trino data caching strategies, the latest test results, and discuss the multi-level caching architecture. This architecture makes Trino 10x faster for data lakes of any scale, from GB to EB.

Data and AI Challenges
Analytics
Distributed Data
It is hard to achieve single source of data because of regulations, data sovereignty, security, M&A, global operations, and many other reasons. Facing distributed data, data engineers have to introduce highly complex data pipelines to replicate data, adding data engineering complexity and costs.
Slow Analytics Speed
Immediate access to data lakes is critical as traders need results from data queries quickly. However, replicating data and managing pipelines can easily consume more than half of a data engineer’s working time, causing delays in analytics results.
High Data Infrastructure Costs
As data volume grows continuously, cloud costs add up correspondingly and are difficult to manage and predict. Every time data is replicated from one silo to another, costs are incurred. API costs (GET object operations) and egress costs (cross-region data transfer fees) add up over time and are difficult to predict.
AI/ML
Slow AI Pipeline
Data loading on a massive number of small files (usually images) delays model training performance with insufficient I/O speed, leaving GPUs idle. For example, traditional NAS cannot scale or deliver the speed to feed GPUs with enough throughput. Copying training data from NAS to storage on GPU servers for faster training is not scalable for production.
Hard to Scale
Models must be tested on huge datasets to provide confidence. The capital market generates a mountain of data every day, resulting in petabyte or even exabyte-scale data lakes. Current storage scalability is not designed to meet future capacity requirements.
Rising Costs
Cloud object storage costs add up quickly with frequent GET object operations and cross-region data transfers. Specialized storage provides good performance, but is very expensive. In addition, GPUs are underutilized, wasting expensive compute resources. All of the above leads to challenges of rising costs.
Alluxio solves data challenges by providing a platform between your existing compute engines and storage systems, optimizing data access at every step of your data pipeline to accelerate analytics and AI workloads, on-prem, in the cloud, or both.
Alluxio Data Platform has two product offerings – Alluxio Enterprise Data and Alluxio Enterprise AI.
