MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Jan. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/
-- Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that
delivers storage as-a-service, today announced its role in Meta's
new AI Research SuperCluster (RSC), which Meta believes will be the
fastest AI supercomputer in the world.
Announced today, RSC is helping Meta's AI researchers build new
and better AI models that can learn from trillions of examples,
work across hundreds of different languages, seamlessly analyze
text, images, and video together, develop new augmented
reality tools, and much more.
RSC will pave the way toward building technologies for Meta's
next major computing platform, the metaverse, where AI-driven
applications and products will play an important role.
Meta chose Pure as it needed a storage partner that can deliver
robust and scalable storage capabilities to power RSC. With
FlashArray™ and FlashBlade®, RSC will have
unparalleled performance to rapidly analyze both structured and
unstructured data, underpinned by Pure's foundation of simplicity,
reliability, and sustainability.

is the latest example of how Pure is helping Meta achieve its AI
research goals.
"The technologies powering the metaverse will require massively
powerful computing solutions capable of instantly analyzing ever
increasing amounts of data. Meta's RSC is a breakthrough in
supercomputing that will lead to new technologies and customer
experiences enabled by AI. We are thrilled to be a part of this
project and look forward to seeing the progress Meta's AI
researchers will make." – Rob Lee,
