Formed in 2015, Nyriad is a New Zealand-based exascale computing company specialising in advanced data storage solutions for big data and high performance computing, born out of its consulting work on the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project in Australia[1]. It has grown to over 50 engineers and is working with several global companies to commercialise its technology.[2]
Technology[edit]
Nyriad’s software enables Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to perform data processing and storage tasks together, making the movement, manipulation and storage of vast volumes of information faster, cheaper and more resilient. Storage, computing and network become merged as one entity. The technology was developed to meet the needs for the SKA radio telescope, solving the problem of how to process and store over 160Tb/s of radio antennae data in real-time, within a power budget considered impossible with any other IT solution. The company was forced to develop new processes to reach these goals and, in doing so, has achieved a breakthrough in system resilience and performance with wide commercial applications.[2]
At SC17, Nyriad aligned its stars with the International Centre of Radio Astronomy Research, to develop a "science data processing" operating system for a telescope called the Murchison Widefield Array, which itself is a precursor to the Square Kilometer Array. The Square Kilometer Array will require more computing power than any previous one: Its data rate will exceed today's global internet traffic. Nyriad, at the conference, revealed its first commercial offering, spun out of its SKA work: a fast and low-power storage solution useful beyond the world of astronomy.[3]
Partnerships[edit]
Nyriad is working with Revera (a subsidiary of Spark) and various academic, scientific and New Zealand government agencies to develop and implement its technology. Offshore, it is working with a number of international cloud and hardware OEM companies to set up distribution partnerships.[2]
Awards[edit]
Nyriad was named as one of the 10 Coolest Storage Startups of 2017 by CRN Magazine.
