Cloudian and ABEJA Team to Provide Scale-Out Object Storage Options for Managing and Storing Vast Volumes of Deep Learning Data

SAN MATEO, Calif., April 24, 2018 -- Cloudian, the innovation leader in enterprise object storage systems, today announced a technical partnership with ABEJA, Inc., a producer of platform as a service (PaaS) technology that utilizes deep learning technology to support business change as a partner of ABEJA Platform Partner Ecosystem. Cloudian enables customers to store large quantities of data generated by the ABEJA artificial intelligence (AI) platform economically, efficiently and reliably on-premises in a limitlessly scalable storage environment.

The solution, enabled by Cloudian’s HyperStore, may be used in hybrid cloud deployments to isolate sensitive data and confidential information, such as manufacturing data and research and development materials within on-premises storage.

The ABEJA platform is a PaaS technology that acquires, accumulates, learns, analyzes, outputs and feeds back various data.

ABEJA’s deep learning technology depends on data to “learn” the correct ways to discover answers to business and research questions. This process starts with the acquisition of mass data from a variety of sources, including IoT devices, sensors and existing systems. After this data is accumulated and validated, it is used to create the neural networks of the deep learning system using ABEJA’s 10-step process. This process – and the ongoing operation of the AI system – depend on very large volumes of easily-accessible unstructured data, something that plays to the strengths of the Cloudian limitlessly scalable object storage platform.
                                                                                                                   
“Machine learning applications require storage that’s both bigger and smarter, combining capacity, rich metadata tagging, and search tools in one platform,” said Jon Toor, CMO at Cloudian. “Our partnership with ABEJA will help us bring these Cloudian benefits to even more users as we further demonstrate the power and efficiency of our combined solution.”
