What does successful AI data management require?

Smart
Scaling
Annual data growth is 50%.
~ 90% of AI data is unstructured.
You need scale to handle volume…
and technology to reduce volume

Doing More
with Less
70% of firms want to modernize IT. But budgets are growing by only 10%. The IT skills gap is growing much faster.
You need to process AI data faster…and automate processing itself

Faster Innovation and Results
89% of IT leaders say data silos slow down innovation
You need to integrate all stages of AI data lifecycle… and consolidate mixed data and protocols for faster results
Businesses need solutions that can optimize all stages of the AI data journey
We’re used to seeing these stages for AI data, where parallel file systems are critical and data is largely unstructured.

AI ingest
Capture data from multiple sources. Many-to-one reads.

AI labeling
Identify, classify, and add meaning across interactive data.

AI learning
Provide high-throughput, fast reads across millions of files.

AI inference
Correlate learnings to arrive at optimal decisions.
Home Directories

Interactive file workloads
Containerized Apps

Virtualized file and block workloads
Databases

Low-latency block workloads
Backup / Archive

Fast, scalable NAS
But broad AI adoption adds workloads that rely on non-parallel file systems
Beyond parallel file services, the expansion of AI into Life Sciences, Financial Services and other commercial markets has increased demand for additional workloads.
Demand for advanced enterprise data services – such as integrated data protection and data reduction.
These workloads are using both structured and unstructured data.
