SANTA
CLARA, Calif., March 18,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure Storage® (NYSE:
PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the world's most advanced data
storage technology and services, today announced new validated
reference architectures for running generative AI use cases,
including a new NVIDIA OVX-ready validated reference architecture.
As a leader in AI, Pure Storage, in collaboration with NVIDIA, is
arming global customers with a proven framework to manage the
high-performance data and compute requirements they need to drive
successful AI deployments.
News Highlights:
Building on this collaboration with NVIDIA, Pure Storage
delivers the latest technologies to meet the rapidly growing demand
for AI across today's enterprises. New validated designs and proofs
of concept include:
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Pipeline for AI
Inference: To improve the accuracy, currency, and
relevance of Inference capabilities for large language models
(LLMs), Pure Storage created a RAG pipeline leveraging NVIDIA NeMo
Retriever microservices and NVIDIA GPUs and Pure Storage for
all-flash enterprise storage. As a result, Pure Storage accelerates
time to insight for enterprises using their own internal data for
AI training, ensuring the use of their latest data and eliminating
the need for constant retraining of LLMs.
- Certified NVIDIA OVX Server Storage Reference
Architecture: Pure Storage has achieved OVX Server Storage
validation, providing enterprise customers and channel partners
with flexible storage reference architectures, validated against
key benchmarks to provide a strong infrastructure foundation for
cost- and performance-optimized AI hardware and software solutions.
This validation offers additional choice for AI customers and
complements Pure Storage's certification for NVIDIA DGX BasePOD
announced last year.
- Vertical RAG Development: To accelerate successful
AI adoption across vertical industries, Pure Storage is creating
vertical-specific RAGs in collaboration with NVIDIA. First, Pure
Storage has created a financial services RAG solution to summarize
and query massive datasets with higher accuracy than off-the-shelf
LLMs. Financial services institutions can now gain faster insight
using AI to create instant summaries and analysis from various
financial documents and other sources. Additional RAGs for
healthcare and public sector to be released.
- Expanded Investment in AI Partner Ecosystem: Pure
Storage is further investing in its AI partner ecosystem with
NVIDIA, engaging in new partnerships with ISVs like Run.AI and
Weights & Biases. While Run.AI optimizes GPU utilization
through advanced orchestration and scheduling, the Weights &
Biases AI Development platform enables ML teams to build, evaluate,
and govern the model development lifecycle. Additionally, Pure
Storage is working closely with AI-focused reseller and service
partners including ePlus, Insight, WWT, and others to further
operationalize joint customer AI deployments.

infrastructure, we are thrilled to partner with Pure Storage and
NVIDIA to help drive broader (and more successful) adoption of
advanced enterprise AI initiatives." – Yael Dor, VP, Global
Sales and Partnerships, Run.AI
- "At Weights & Biases, we're dedicated to building the best
tools for machine learning and generative AI — including automating
experimentation and model artifact tracking, streamlining model and
prompt evaluation, and enabling end-to-end governance and
reproducibility of machine learning workloads. Our expanded
collaboration with Pure Storage and NVIDIA further empowers AI
developers on their journeys to building and deploying superior
models with speed, reliability, and efficiency." – Seann Gardiner, VP of Business Development,
Weights & Biases
- "Pure Storage's NVIDIA-validated reference architectures and
proofs of concept provide enterprises across industries a shortcut
to AI success. Rather than investing valuable time and resources in
building an AI architecture from scratch, Pure's proven frameworks
not only mitigate the risk of expensive project delays but also
guarantee a high return on investment for AI team expenditures like
GPUs." – Mike Leone, Principal
Analyst, ESG
Industry Significance:
Today, the majority of AI deployments are dispersed across
fragmented data environments — from the cloud to ill-suited (often
legacy) storage solutions. Yet these fragmented environments cannot
support the performance and networking requirements to fuel AI data
pipelines and unlock the full potential of enterprise data.
As enterprises further embrace AI to drive innovation,
streamline operations, and gain a competitive edge, the demand for
robust, high-performance, and efficient AI infrastructure has never
been stronger.
Pioneering enterprise AI deployments, particularly among a
rapidly growing set of Fortune 500 enterprise customers, Pure
Storage provides a simple, reliable, and efficient storage platform
for enterprises to fully leverage the potential of AI, while
reducing the associated risk, cost, and energy consumption.
