QuoteI would say the starting point is performance and scalability. We are deploying AI factories that have to handle, by definition, a lot of data in and a lot of data out. We are running heavy compute on the data. We are in the constant search of storage solutions that can enable us both from a performance and a scalability standpoint. Obviously, we also request these solutions to be price competitive.
