Pure Storage<\/a>\u00ae (NYSE: PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers advanced data storage technology and services, announced AIRI\u00ae\/\/S, the next generation of its complete AI-ready infrastructure, developed by Pure Storage and NVIDIA. AIRI\/\/S provides enterprises a simple, on-demand infrastructure that accelerates AI initiatives at any scale.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enterprises across industries have recognized the power of AI to speed innovation and gain a competitive edge with critical business insights. However, the complexity and rigidity of legacy infrastructure technology – both on premises and in the cloud – is a barrier for enterprises looking to achieve the promise of AI-based data science and move into the new era of intelligence. Too many AI initiatives are stalled by the intricacies of a \u201cdo-it-yourself\u201d approach, leading to significant delays and idle time. Instead, AI requires a completely new infrastructure to facilitate faster innovation and obtain actionable, modern analytics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet this need, Pure Storage, in collaboration with NVIDIA, launched AIRI in 2018, the first AI-ready infrastructure reference architecture, purpose-built to enable organizations to achieve better utilization and uptime, and ultimately scale their AI and data science investments without complexity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Pure announces the next step in its collaboration with NVIDIA with the release of AIRI\/\/S, powered by NVIDIA DGX A100 systems – featuring end-to-end networking, including NVIDIA Quantum InfiniBand and NVIDIA Spectrum networking. AIRI\/\/S provides enterprises with a proven, simple, and scalable AI infrastructure for all stages of the AI data pipeline, and is the first solution to include Pure\u2019s revolutionary new FlashBlade\u00ae\/\/S<\/a>. FlashBlade\/\/S delivers significant advancements in non-disruptive performance, density, power efficiency, and scale, resulting in optimal alignment to the industry-leading AI training performance and parallelism gains that DGX systems deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AIRI\/\/S operationalizes AI at scale for every enterprise. Since launch, AIRI has supported hundreds of AI workloads across customers ranging from startups to national security departments to multinational technology conglomerates, and every type of data-driven industry in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critical benefits of AIRI\/\/S include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
