With NVIDIA DGX BasePOD certification and expanded enterprise
AI solutions, Pure Storage delivers simplified and efficient
AI-ready storage infrastructure
SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Nov. 13,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), the
IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data storage
technology and services, today further strengthened its portfolio
for artificial intelligence (AI) use cases and continued customer
momentum across global AI deployments. Among the first enterprise
data storage vendors to receive the NVIDIA DGX BasePOD
certification, and now delivering with Cisco, new Cisco Validated
Designs for FlashStack for AI, Pure Storage continues to provide
enterprises with efficient, reliable access to data in support of
new AI applications, underpinning modern, scalable business
outcomes.
Momentum Highlights:
With the most comprehensive data storage platform in the market,
Pure Storage delivers unrivaled efficiency and performance at every
step of the AI process - from data curation to model training to
inference - regardless of where enterprises sit in their AI
adoption. Powering the most advanced AI projects globally, Pure
Storage empowers customers to launch AI initiatives at any scale,
providing a flexible data storage foundation that grows as needs
evolve. Critical advancements to the Pure Storage portfolio
include:
- AIRI®: Pure Storage has been at the forefront of
optimized AI storage since the launch of FlashBlade® in 2017 and
AIRI, its AI-Ready Infrastructure reference architecture
co-developed with NVIDIA, in 2018. Today, Pure Storage is among the
first enterprise data storage vendors to become NVIDIA DGX BasePOD
certified. Built on the NVIDIA DGX BasePOD reference architecture
for AI and leveraging the latest FlashBlade//S™ storage platform,
AIRI accelerates and simplifies AI scaling and deployment to keep
enterprise focus on delivering valuable insights, rather than
managing IT.
- FlashStack® for AI: With FlashStack for AI and
new supporting validated designs, Pure Storage and Cisco help IT
teams navigate new AI application stacks and data pipelines while
avoiding infrastructure and operation silos. New Cisco Validated
Designs (CVDs) with AI-accelerated FlashStack and NVIDIA AI
Enterprise software for virtualized and containerized environments
serve as automation playbooks for enterprises to deploy common AI
models for generative AI, LLMs, computer vision, and more. With the
latest tested and proven CVDs, Pure Storage, Cisco, and NVIDIA
technologies help IT teams deliver AI infrastructure efficiently
and securely, at scale, while enabling data science teams to get
projects into production faster with less risk.
- Portworx® for AI: AI workloads are often deployed
in containerized environments to ensure that data scientists can
achieve agility with model training and predictions, meanwhile,
platform engineering teams have to address the associated
complexity with delivering self-service, data resiliency, and
efficient use of storage in multi-cloud environments. With Portworx
by Pure Storage, enterprises can accelerate data science
productivity using rapid spin-up of notebooks and pipelines and
eliminate data transfers between different types of storage or
multi-cloud regions. Additionally, Portworx can be leveraged to
protect datasets on notebooks across several stages of the pipeline
and deliver cost savings with improved utilization of underlying
storage anywhere.
Executive Insight:
- "Pure Storage anticipated the rapid rise of AI at its
inception, delivering the high-performance, efficient, and
