How to Become an I/O Expert

Live Event | Hosted Wednesday, June 23, 2021

Altair Breeze™ and Altair Mistral™ are I/O profiling tools that tell you how your applications are using storage. These unique products provide unrivaled insight into application dependencies and I/O patterns so system administrators and developers can troubleshoot and tune their applications. Dr. Rosemary Francis is the founder and CEO of the company that developed Breeze and Mistral, now part of Altair. She’ll share her experiences and describe how I/O profiling helps identify inefficiencies at the job level, optimize I/O to prep for and streamline cloud migration, and tune hybrid cloud. Altair I/O monitoring products help you understand the way applications access data to make every engineer an I/O expert.

Join us for a live webinar to understand how Mistral and Breeze help design and execute complex physical design flows, reduce design risk, save money, and accelerate time-to-market by spotting critical dependencies.

Dr. Francis will discuss the following topics, followed by a live Q&A:

  • Gaining insight into storage requirements
  • Detecting rogue jobs and bad I/O patterns
  • Controlling costs in the cloud with cross-platform insight
  • Optimizing on-premises workloads for hybrid cloud
  • Troubleshooting third-party applications

Breeze

Breeze makes every engineer an I/O expert. With Breeze, you can quickly solve software deployment problems and resolve file and network dependencies. With detailed data for storage exports and summary reports for sharing, Breeze identifies good and bad I/O for easy wins.

Mistral

Mistral is the leading application monitoring tool for HPC and scientific computing. It’s lightweight enough to run in production but flexible enough to ensure that you get the most from on-premises HPC and have the information to manage your hybrid cloud. It monitors I/O, CPU, and memory, quickly locating rogue jobs and storage bottlenecks and keeping track of what’s running on clusters day-to-day.
