Pure Storage, the IT pioneer that delivers advanced data storage technology and services, is expanding its AI solutions with the new Pure Storage GenAI Pod, a full-stack solution providing turnkey designs built on the Pure Storage platform.
Organizations can use the Pure Storage GenAI Pod to accelerate AI-powered innovation and reduce the time, cost, and specialty technical skills required to deploy generative AI (GenAI) projects. As part of this news, Pure Storage also announced the certification of FlashBlade//S500 with
NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD, accelerating enterprise AI deployments with Ethernet compatibility.
According to the company, the Pure Storage GenAI Pod, built on the Pure Storage platform, includes new validated designs that enable turnkey solutions for GenAI use cases that help organizations solve many of these challenges.
Unlike most other full-stack solutions, the Pure Storage GenAI Pod enables organizations to accelerate AI initiatives with one-click deployments and streamlined Day 2 operations for vector databases and foundation models, the company said.
With the integration of Portworx, these services provide automated deployments of NVIDIA NeMo and NIM microservices through the NVIDIA AI Enterprise software platform, as well as the Milvus vector database, while further simplifying Day 2 operations.
The initial industry applications for these validated designs include drug discovery, trade research and investment analysis, and RAG with agentic frameworks for semantic search, knowledge management, and chatbots.
Pure Storage’s full-stack solution includes hardware, software, foundational models, and professional services from leading industry AI vendors.
For this initial set of validated designs, Pure Storage has partnered with Arista, Cisco, KX, Meta, NVIDIA, Red Hat, SuperMicro, and WWT. The Pure
Storage GenAI Pod is expected to be generally available in the first half of 2025.
“The pace of innovation is compelling enterprise customers to leverage AI across their business, but customers are held back by the fundamental challenge of siloed data platforms and complex-to-deploy Gen AI pipelines. Pure’s expanded portfolio of AI solutions with turnkey, validated designs for GenAI and large enterprise AI clusters help customers navigate these challenges. The validated designs dramatically reduce the time to value and operational risks of AI projects by holistically addressing the needs at every layer of the technology stack,” Dan Kogan, VP, enterprise growth and solutions, Pure Storage.
