Pure Storage simplifies enterprise AI adoption

Pure Storage has unveiled the Pure Storage GenAI Pod to make AI more accessible and manageable for businesses across various industries.

GenAI Pod is designed to address the complexities that enterprises face when implementing GenAI and related technologies in their private cloud environments.

With the comprehensive package that includes hardware, software, foundational models, and expert services, Pure Storage hopes to lower the barriers to entry for enterprises looking to harness the power of AI.

GenAI Pod streamlines the deployment process with one-click installations and simplified day-to-day operations, letting enterprises set up sophisticated AI systems without the need for extensive technical expertise. This ease of use extends to the management of vector databases and foundation models, which are crucial components in many AI applications.

Pure Storage has partnered with industry leaders such as Arista, Cisco, NVIDIA, and Red Hat to ensure that the GenAI Pod integrates seamlessly with existing IT infrastructures. The solution is particularly well-suited for applications in drug discovery, financial analysis and advanced search capabilities, demonstrating its versatility across different sectors.

In addition to the GenAI Pod, Pure Storage has also announced that its FlashBlade//S500 storage system is now certified with NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD. The certification is significant for enterprises engaged in large-scale AI projects, as it provides a reliable and efficient storage solution that can handle the immense data requirements of advanced AI training.

“The validated designs dramatically reduce the time to value and operational risks of AI projects by holistically addressing the needs at every layer of the technology stack,” said Dan Kogan, VP of Enterprise Growth and Solutions at Pure Storage.

“The Pure Storage GenAI Pod with NVIDIA AI Enterprise software and the certification of FlashBlade//S500 with NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD can help organisations eliminate infrastructure complexity, speed deployments and simplify operations,” said Tony Paikeday, Senior Director of AI Systems at NVIDIA.
