Data Storage for AI

Capture the value of artificial intelligence with high-capacity, high-performance data storage across the six stages of the AI Data Cycle.

Introducing the AI Data Cycle Framework

AI models operate in a self-perpetuating, continuous loop of data consumption and generation. As AI grows and evolves, it creates even more data across six distinct stages — an AI Data Cycle with specific storage requirements at every stage.
