Customer Impact
The advent of large-scale AI and ML workloads has led to the rapid growth of GPU cloud providers that are scaling infrastructure to meet enterprise demand for accelerated computing. Enterprise AI projects rely on high-performance storage systems to keep up with the pace and scale of model training, inference, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) workflows. However, traditional storage solutions often limit GPU efficiency, creating bottlenecks in data access and directly impacting time to outcomes. In addition, these traditional storage architectures introduce complexities in managing storage at scale and struggle with multi-tenant environments, increasing operational inefficiencies and risk of security gaps.
With Pure Storage, organizations can deploy a storage solution that is compatible with NVIDIA accelerated computing and removes the barriers to real ROI and GPU workload efficiency. The Pure Storage platform eliminates bottlenecks and seamlessly handles multi-tenancy while promoting always-on quality of service (QoS). Pure Storage offers a solution with high-level read/write performance guarantees that can accelerate large-scale training and inference for AI workloads. Pure Storage also balances comprehensive and robust data storage with an easy-to-manage interface, further removing common complexities associated with legacy storage systems.
Executive Insights
"GPUs have fast become a driving force behind the next wave of AI innovation. The incorporation of the NVIDIA AI Data Platform into FlashBlade provides the AI-ready storage necessary for peak performance. Additionally, our recent NVIDIA certifications affirm that Pure Storage is supporting the pace and scale that AI models need to create change. Through our purpose-built storage solutions, enterprise customers can easily and efficiently harness the power of AI to accelerate success," said Rob Lee, Chief Technology Officer, Pure Storage.
"The new wave of AI reasoning will be powered by massive datasets and requires an always-on data processing pipeline. By integrating NVIDIA AI Data Platform capabilities into Pure Storage FlashBlade, enterprises can equip AI agents with near-real-time business data to achieve new levels of personalized customer service, operational efficiency, and unprecedented productivity," said Rob Davis, Vice President, Storage Networking Technology at NVIDIA.
"For customers, a simpler path to deploying AI at scale means fewer complexities and faster innovation. That's why Cisco partners with leaders like Pure Storage, which pushes AI data storage boundaries with offerings like FlashBlade//EXA and support for NVIDIA's new reference design. We're excited to extend this momentum through our FlashStack collaboration, integrating Cisco's data center infrastructure with Pure's advanced storage to help businesses streamline AI workloads and unlock the full potential of their data," said Jeremy Foster, GM and SVP for Cisco Compute.
