SDxCentral, Jan 12, 2026 – Billion-dollar GPUs may dominate the headlines, but a strong sovereign storage foundation will prove

Dec 23, 2025 (TheStoragereport) –AI workloads are exposing a hard truth about enterprise infrastructure: systems built purely for

Discover how Penguin Solutions’ OriginAI®, a scalable, pre-validated AI factory infrastructure, leverages VDURA storage to enable GPU clusters from 48 to 16,000 GPUs. The result: faster time-to-value, predictable performance, and secure, enterprise-grade multitenancy.

Starfish Storage walks through how customers can accelerate ingest and metadata operations on flash while leveraging a unified, cost-efficient hybrid tier for scale, unlocking stronger insights, tighter cost control, and smarter data governance across massive file environments.

Listen to Marc unpack how WD’s Ultrastar HDDs, and especially SMR technology, are reshaping storage economics for AI and HPC at scale. He spotlights how ultra-dense disk is driving massive capacity gains, optimizing TCO, and delivering an efficient backbone for data-heavy workflows. He’ll also dig into how VDURA amplifies that value by maximizing the efficiency of HDDs and flash across the right workloads.

At SC25, VDURA CEO Ken Claffey sat down with co-founder and CTAIO Garth Gibson to explore how AI is reshaping data infrastructure. From the evolution of HPC to AI-driven workloads, they discuss how to deliver maximum performance, cost efficiency, and operational simplicity. Garth shares insights on scaling compute and storage, hardware-agnostic solutions, and how VDURA’s microservices architecture empowers customers to optimize performance and economics across diverse storage media. A must-watch for anyone interested in the future of high-performance data systems.

VDURA hosted its first Women in HPC panel at SC25, bringing together leaders from across the high-performance computing community to share their experiences and strategies for success. Panelists discussed navigating traditionally male-dominated spaces, building trust, creating psychologically safe environments, and the importance of speaking up and listening. The conversation concluded with a key takeaway: find your squad, take initiative, and get involved, mentorship and community matter.

Vanderbilt University operates one of the largest scientific computing environments on campus — a 20,000-core powerhouse supporting ambitious research across both the Medical Center and the university. When storage reliability issues began slowing progress, the team set out to find a smarter path. In this testimonial, Vanderbilt shares how partnering with VDURA transformed their HPC operations: simplified management, major reductions in administrative overhead, seamless migrations, and zero downtime. With multiple expansions already underway — including the move to the V-5000 platform — their researchers now have the capacity and confidence to accelerate discovery without disruption.
