As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance at a breakneck pace, understanding and navigating its complexities are crucial for any organization looking to leverage its potential. Here are eight key AI truths you need to know, along with how the latest innovations from Pure Storage® align with these insights:
AI Truth #1: Broad Interest and Gaining Momentum
AI is no longer confined to tech giants; its applications span across various industries including retail, telecommunications, automotive, healthcare, and more. This widespread interest signifies AI’s growing impact. Pure Storage’s solutions are designed to support this broadening scope, providing a robust foundation that caters to diverse AI needs.
AI Truth #2: Deep Learning vs. Traditional AI
Deep learning represents a significant shift from traditional analytics-driven AI. While statistical methods and regression still hold value, the groundbreaking advancements are emerging from deep learning neural networks. Pure Storage is at the forefront of this shift with the Evergreen//One™ for AI, offering purpose-built AI Storage as-a-Service that ensures performance for GPUs crucial for deep learning tasks.
AI Truth #3: The Importance of Data Pipelines
Success in AI goes well beyond just training neural networks. The real groundwork involves data collection, extraction, and transformation. Our Pure Fusion™ technology enhances the efficiency of managing these data pipelines by unifying storage across structured and unstructured data, streamlining the preparation process for AI workloads.
AI Truth #4: Garbage In, Garbage Out
The quality of input data is critical—“garbage in, garbage out” still applies. AI models are only as good as the data they are trained on. Pure’s industry-first Generative AI Copilot for Storage leverages insights from vast amounts of data to guide users in managing and protecting data, ensuring high-quality data flows into your AI models.
AI Truth #5: Software Development Best Practices
AI infrastructure demands adherence to software development best practices. This includes versioning data schemas, preserving raw data, and using source code control systems. Pure’s Evergreen® architecture supports these practices by offering continuous, non-disruptive upgrades, keeping your data infrastructure in line with evolving software requirements.
AI Truth #6: Data Has Gravity
When choosing between on-premises and cloud-based AI systems, remember that moving large datasets is often more complex and costly than relocating processing power. Pure’s solutions address this challenge by providing scalable storage that accommodates large volumes of data efficiently, whether hosted on-premises or in the cloud.
AI Truth #7: The Only Constant is Change
AI technologies are evolving rapidly, particularly in the software domain. Organizations must be adaptable, with flexible infrastructure and agile teams. Pure Storage’s Evergreen architecture is designed to adapt to these changes, ensuring your data infrastructure evolves seamlessly alongside advancements in AI technology.
AI Truth #8: Hire Talent and Seek Trusted Advisors
To navigate the rapid advancements in AI effectively, it is crucial to surround yourself with skilled professionals and trusted advisors. The Innovation Race survey reveals that nearly all global CIOs acknowledge the need for improved data infrastructure to support AI initiatives. Pure Storage provides the expertise and innovative solutions needed to enhance your AI strategy and execution.
