Enterprises face numerous challenges when implementing Generative AI and Recovery Augmented Generation (RAG) in private clouds, including the complexity of integrating hardware, software, and development tools. For this reason, Pure Storage has presented its new solution, “Pure Storage GenAI Pod”, designed to facilitate the implementation of Generative AI projects, reducing time, costs and the need for specialized technical skills.
Additionally, it has revealed that its FlashBlade//S500 has been certified to work with NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, improving implementations of this technology with Ethernet compatibility.
“Pure Storage’s expanded portfolio of AI solutions with validated turnkey designs for GenAI and large enterprise AI clusters helps customers address these challenges. Validated designs dramatically reduce the time to value and operational risks of AI projects by comprehensively addressing needs at every layer of the technology stack,” explains Dan Kogan, VP, Enterprise Growth and Solutions, Pure Storage.
