The Critical Need for AI Data Infrastructure
Across industries, AI is the key technology trend influencing boardroom and IT decisions. Whether your company is using predictive or generative AI (GenAI), Kubernetes is foundational for successful AI/ML workflows.
While most organizations building with AI focus on accelerated compute, models, and applications, data and data infrastructure like Kubernetes storage is often overlooked. Training data, inference, and fine-tuning happens continuously, making effective data management crucial for ensuring that AI applications run quickly, accurately, and cost-effectively.
The challenge for most enterprises is data and data infrastructure
Data Accuracy & Consistency
Data accuracy and consistency are important, but siloed storage and data drift can contribute to hallucinations. Data sets are often duplicated leading to inconsistency as well as cost and storage inefficiencies.
Data Access & Security
Developers and data scientists want simple, self-service access to data storage and management without having to submit a ticket or send a slack message while enterprises want portability across environments. Maintaining the balance between data access and data security is paramount.
Cost Optimization
As these AI models become increasingly resource-intensive, enterprises must find a way to balance the challenges of supporting these models – from ingress/egress costs to wasted GPU resources – while avoiding overcommitting to expensive, costly data infrastructure investments.
