AI Today Podcast: Why Data Storage Matters When it Comes to AI: Interview with Justin Emerson, Pure Storage

As AI applications become more complex and data-intensive, the need for scalable and efficient storage solutions becomes increasingly important. AI models require vast amounts of data to be processed, and as the size and complexity of these models continue to grow, so does the need for more storage. Storage considerations are critical for both the training and the deployment of AI models. As AI models are increasingly used in real-world applications, it is essential to ensure that the storage solution used can provide reliable and efficient access to the data needed to support these applications. This includes both the storage of the model itself and the data used to support its ongoing operation. In this episode of the AI Today podcast we interview Justin Emerson from Pure Storage. He shares with us critical factors for teams to consider when thinking about data storage as well as real world examples of what happens when teams do or do not choose the right data storage solution. Whether you are a developer, data scientist, or IT professional, understanding the critical role of storage in AI model development and deployment is essential to ensuring the success of your AI and advanced analytics initiatives.
