OverviewMicrosoft Azure Storage is a highly distributed, massively scalable, and ubiquitously accessible cloud storage platform. Azure storage already runs at Exascale (storing Exabytes of data) and we will scale our designs over the next decade to support Zetta scale (storing Zettabytes of data). Within Azure Storage, the xDPU team is focused on bringing up the storage stack on DPU (Data Processing Units) based nodes to provide unmatched performance at lowest cost. We are hiring an experienced engineer to join us in developing and deploying DPU-based storage.
