Creating a Scalable, AI-ready Infrastructure 

For many NTT DATA clients, artificial intelligence (AI) is the next frontier. A strategic imperative for NTT DATA is to maintain its leadership in the growth and stewardship of generative AI as new outcomes and possibilities emerge.

“AI is reshaping the world of data,” says McIsaac. “Our partnership with Pure Storage has given us an AI-ready infrastructure that can keep up with the high-throughput demands for big and fast data to power our clients’ AI initiatives.”

Seeing the innovative work that NTT DATA is doing for its clients has also inspired Pure Storage to push its technology, leading to advances that benefit all Pure customers.

“NTT DATA is happy to be recognized for this award. Today’s news demonstrates our commitment to helping our clients navigate the complexities of their data-driven enterprises while unlocking the potential of AI,” says McIsaac.

At Pure, we’re equally thrilled that NTT DATA’s ongoing investment in Pure has yielded such a solid partnership that continues to bring value to both companies. For this, we tip our hats and congratulate NTT DATA on winning this year’s Pure Storage Greatest of All Time Award.
