This document summarizes a presentation about Tachyon, an open source memory-centric distributed storage system. It introduces Tachyon and how it can be used with Spark to resolve issues around slow data sharing, in-memory data loss during crashes, and data duplication. The presentation outlines new features in Tachyon 0.8.0 like tiered storage, pluggable data management policies, and a unified namespace across storage systems. It concludes by inviting users and collaborators to try, develop, and get involved with the Tachyon community.
