Swarm learning is one of the latest in a series of buzzwords that seem to continually appear. Along with artificial intelligence and machine learning, this latest phrase seems to be getting more and more "out there." Let's go deeper and find out… The name swarm learning was inspired by the collective behavior of animals and insects that come together to achieve a mutual goal. Think of bees swarming to build a hive, small fish forming a bait ball to scare off larger predator fish, wolves hunting their prey in packs, or birds moving together in flight. By joining together, insects and animals pool their resources and work together to collectively increase their ability to accomplish a goal.

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and High Velocity Analytic workloads are going mainstream. Enterprises of all types and sizes want to seize the opportunity their data presents. As these workloads move from development to production, organizations face a significant challenge with the supporting storage architecture. At the heart of the problem is the file system the organization will use to store the information. It needs to be fast, scalable, durable and cloud-ready.
