Pure Storage and Nvidia have announced a collaboration to make artificial intelligence (AI) more accessible to enterprises. The partnership aims to provide proven frameworks for managing the high-performance data and compute requirements necessary for successful AI deployments. This is crucial as more businesses across various industries are adopting AI to drive innovation and gain a competitive advantage.
Pure Storage, known for its advanced data storage technology, unveiled a suite of new AI infrastructure solutions and validated reference architectures developed in partnership with Nvidia at the recent GTC conference. These solutions address the challenge of fragmented data environments that can hinder the full realization of AI’s potential.
One of the key solutions unveiled is the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) Pipeline for AI Inference, which combines Nvidia GPUs for compute and Pure Storage’s all-flash enterprise storage. This solution enhances large language models (LLMs) with custom corporate data to provide greater relevance, accuracy, and currency to chatbots. It eliminates the need for businesses to invest in building their own custom large language models.
Pure Storage also achieved Nvidia OVX Server Storage certification, which provides flexible storage reference architectures validated against key benchmarks. This certification ensures a robust infrastructure foundation for cost and performance-optimized AI hardware and software solutions. With this certification, customers have a choice of validated reference architectures from Pure Storage, providing greater compute GPU platform options and availability.
In addition to these infrastructure solutions, Pure Storage and Nvidia are developing vertical-specific AI applications. The first of these is a Financial RAG using FinGPT, designed specifically for the finance industry. This application utilizes generative AI to create financial analyses that are more accurate, real-time, and cost-efficient than those created by humans.
To expand its AI partner ecosystem, Pure Storage has partnered with leading AI platform providers like Run.AI and Weights & Biases, as well as channel partners such as WWT, ePlus, CDW, and Insight. These partnerships enable Pure Storage to offer a comprehensive and integrated AI solution stack, simplifying the deployment and management of AI infrastructure for enterprises.
Pure Storage also recognizes the environmental impact of data centers and has designed its storage platform to help customers reduce their energy consumption and carbon footprint. Its flash-optimized systems use significantly less power than competitive SSD-based or hard disk systems, resulting in cost savings and meeting environmental goals.
With its dedication to innovation and meeting the data storage needs of AI deployments, Pure Storage is well-positioned to play a pivotal role in the ongoing AI revolution. The collaboration with Nvidia reflects their shared vision for the future of AI and their commitment to enabling enterprises to unlock the full potential of this transformative technology. By providing a comprehensive and validated AI infrastructure solution, the companies are helping organizations across various industries accelerate their AI adoption journey and gain a competitive edge in a data-driven world.
