The development of AI models involves navigating technological challenges and strategic planning. Steps include defining use cases, choosing AI workflows, sizing performance, investing in infrastructure, and seeking external expertise. Learn how Dell technologies offers expert guidance, time saving tools, powerful infrastructure, and expert support to ensure successful AI deployment aligned with business goals.
GenAI is a new paradigm of artificial intelligence that leverages unstructured data to create and deploy innovative AI models and applications. Effectively managing these different unstructured data types can pose many data storage challenges. Whether you are starting a GenAI pilot project or ramping up models into production, choosing the storage right architecture to build your AI factory is a critical strategic decision. Here’s why PowerScale’s architecture can help develop a storage strategy to deliver your Gen AI models faster, easier, and more cost effectively.
IT organizations love PowerMax for its high efficiency and cyber resiliency, which are integral to the platform’s DNA. Here's the replay from our recent LinkedIn event discussing the latest updates to PowerMax where Practice Director from the Enterprise Strategy Group, Scott Sinclair chats to Engineering Technologist, Scott Delandy. Learn how the innovations in the latest release further optimize and secure mission-critical workloads.
IT organizations are going through major transformations and face a range of challenges to do so successfully. Businesses are becoming more digital and the need to effectively managing IT operations is critical to being competitive and capturing new opportunities. For decades, IT organizations have relied on the advanced capabilities of PowerMax to support their most mission critical applications. The latest PowerMax OS 10.1 release builds on these proven capabilities with even more levels of security, automation, and sustainability. It allows IT organization to protect and secure data, automate operations, and increase efficiency - all delivering faster innovation and more value to the business.
One of the key trends within IT is the need to automate management of technology infrastructure. The reason automation is so important is because technology is moving at a superfast pace. Keeping up with all this new “technology goodness” and making it consumable to users and the business is a challenge for IT organizations. Equally challenging is the need to keep up with new skill sets necessary to harness the value of automation. Let’s look at some of the cool things Dell Technologies is doing to help you add these new skills to successfully automate and modernize your storage environment.
Storage Field Day is a highly anticipated event to meet and network with a select group of independent tech influencers and thought leaders. It’s always a great opportunity to have an open exchange on what’s happening within the storage industry with an experienced audience representing a wide range of perspectives. This year’s event was no different, with Dell taking center stage discussing how to deliver a continuously modern storage experience. This session included an update on the storage portfolio and strategy as well as a deep dive geek-out on what’s new and cool.
Cyber security is a top of mind concern for every IT organization. Research shows that a cyber or ransomware attack occurs every 11 seconds. This elevated frequency of attacks becomes an even greater issue as hackers evolve their techniques to find new ways to infiltrate IT infrastructures. Potential threats and breaches are no longer from external entities only. New potential threats can come from within where attackers already have gained back door access to the infrastructure. Building a secure, zero trust infrastructure helps address these external and internal treats and protect an organization’s infrastructure and more importantly, the information assets within it.
On July 19th 2022, Dell Technologies officially began shipping the next-generation PowerMax, the world’s most secure mission-critical storage platform, based on the PowerMaxOS 10 release. This release delivers over 200 new software features with industry-leading storage automation and advanced cyber resiliency to help IT organizations accelerate their digital transformation.
Almost all IT organizations will have containerized apps deployed along side traditional apps within the next few years. Many of these new apps will support critical business operations and require the same service levels as traditional apps. While APIs exist to connect containerized apps into enterprise class infrastructure, IT organizations need to build and support environments that can be fully automated and easily scaled. Dell’s Container Storage Modules (CSM) provide software modules that extend the capabilities of the CSI plugin to meet these requirements. Leveraging CSM allows enterprise storage data services to be exposed and consumed by new containerized apps. CSM with Dell infrastructure solutions provides an effective strategy to support enterprise class containerized app deployments.
Storage based IP networks leveraging the NVMe protocol can provide a cost effective, high performance connectivity alternative to traditional Fibre Channel SANs. While ecosystem support, such as VMware, is maturing, the tools required to set up and manage NVMe based networks lack the automation and integration compared to Fibre Channel. Providing admins with similar IP based automation tools is a key requirement to drive adoption and simplify management at scale. The introduction of Dell’s Smart Fabric Storage Services (SFSS) addresses these challenges. Deploying storage with NVMe over IP using SFSS provides the necessary automation to significantly simplify and standardize the management these deployments. Leveraging SFSS will help accelerate adoption of this new technology and maximize IT’s ability to leverage the cost and performance benefits of NMVe over IP.
