Every big technological leap throughout history has necessitated a new way of thinking to support its existence — automobiles required a more structured and linear assembly model, computers required robotics to compile micro parts, and smartphones required touchscreen technology to enable flexible UIs. Artificial intelligence is no different.
AI requires new approaches to data storage, data management, and data access to properly perform its intended function and add exponential value to today’s companies and consumers. Without a mobile processor, a smartphone isn’t smart. Without a fast and flexible data platform, AI isn’t intelligent.
AI storage is the new foundational technology supporting AI growth. Next, let’s dig a bit deeper into what it is, and why it matters.
