Keep the working set moving
Research, analytics, forensic processing and AI pipelines can place very different demands on storage. Start by identifying which parts of the pipeline wait for data.
Design the data path
Vortex Express combines NVMe media, RDMA and PCIe fabric. The proposed network, clients and protection settings should be validated with your actual application.
Plan beyond the first dataset
Separate active processing capacity from the archive and recovery copies. Discuss where Vortex, Datamax and managed backup fit alongside the performance tier.
