GenAI Data Byproducts Offer Huge Storage Opportunity, Dell and Nvidia Say

In an era of unprecedented computational capabilities, the demand for efficient storage solutions is soaring. "Storage is the lungs pumping the data," Jeff Clarke, Dell Technologies' Vice Chairman, notes.

The Role of Storage in AI’s Expansion

In an era of unprecedented computational capabilities, the demand for efficient storage solutions is soaring. "Storage is the lungs pumping the data," Jeff Clarke, Dell Technologies’ Vice Chairman, notes.

GPUs may act as AI’s brain, but robust storage is equally vital. It ensures seamless data throughput, making storage a pivotal component of AI systems.

The Storage Opportunity

Arthur Lewis, President of Dell’s Infrastructure Solutions Group, emphasized the "simply massive" storage opportunity. AI workloads drive 300 times the data throughput of traditional compute, underlining the crucial need for efficient storage.

Manuvir Das, Nvidia’s Vice President of Enterprise Computing, highlights another aspect: embeddings. "The size of embeddings can be 10 times bigger than the original text, creating massive data and storage opportunities."

Technological Advances in Storage

Dell’s PowerScale F910 offers a high-performance solution for unstructured data. It features DDR5, PCIe Gen5, and 24 NVMe SSDs, built specifically for AI workloads. Arthur Lewis introduced "Project Lightning," a parallel file system for unstructured storage, set to deliver game-changing performance.

Dell’s software-defined PowerScale ensures maximum speed from the GPU to the AI data platform. It’s the first Ethernet storage certified on Nvidia SuperPod.

Future Considerations for SMEs

John Lee, CTO of VirtuIT, sees the current opportunity in refreshing old infrastructure. "Let’s get you set up for generative AI," he advises, emphasizing the importance of being prepared for future AI implementations.

CEO of Advizex, CR Howdyshell, highlights the importance of staying ahead in the storage conversation. "You have to make sure you’re getting ahead of the storage conversation,” he emphasizes to technical experts.
