Pure Storage launches AI Data Hub, builds out AI workflow effort ZDNet

The AI and ML deployments are well underway, but for CXOs the biggest issue will be managing these initiatives, and figuring out where the data science team fits in and what algorithms to buy versus build. Pure Storage launched a bevy of artificial intelligence tools, including the AI Data Hub, which are designed to meld storage and AI workflows from design to deployment. The storage company said it co-developed the AI Data Hub with Nvidia to break down the data silos that hamper analytics and model development. Storage vendors have been increasingly focused on AI workloads and managing data workflows instead of just storing it. Pure has been using its AI-Ready Infrastructure (AIRI) and expertise in solid-state storage via its Flashblade infrastructure to grab next-gen workloads.
