Vast and Cloudera build a unified data foundation for enterprise AI
A unified data foundation can help enterprises support growing workloads without multiplying the systems and copies needed to serve them. Customer demand for AI infrastructure is pushing technology providers to work more closely together. Supporting large, mission-critical applications requires both scale and performance, according to Itamar Ankorion (pictured, left), head of strategic ISV…
Vast Data and Cloudera have collaborated to create a unified data foundation, enabling enterprises to support growing AI workloads without the need for multiple systems. Itamar Ankorion, head of strategic ISV alliances at Vast, stated that the partnership aims to help customers build AI solutions on a unified data foundation using the right infrastructure, such as graphics processing units (GPUs).
The joint effort seeks to leverage existing data to simplify AI deployment and drive return on investment (ROI). Vast's platform allows applications to access the same file through different storage protocols, eliminating the need for duplicate copies. When combined with Cloudera's Anywhere Cloud data services, this architecture supports various workloads on a single data foundation.
Cloudera's expansion of its AI ecosystem aims to streamline deployment and showcase the value and ROI of Nvidia GPUs, which are expensive but crucial for GPU-accelerated computing.
