BlueXP is now NetApp Console
Monitor and run hybrid cloud data services
[Music]Hi, I'm Steve with NetApp and we've been helping real world customers with enterprise AI workloads for nearly a decade. AI is pervasive and AI is an enterprise workload now and that can lead to some challenges for your infrastructure. So AI is famously a demanding workload. You need speed. You need fast access to data. And you need scale.You need access to a lot of data. And this is kind of where early stage AI stopped. But now that we're an enterprise workload and we're going to trust enterprise or trust that AI with real-time decision-making and our customer experiences, we absolutely needed to be secure. So think about if I'm integrating AI into every core function of my business, I need granular control. I need to be able to limit and grant access to data with precision. And again, we're building a real business on this. So, we need it to be reliable. And this is more than just keeping GPUs full. This is something that needs to run 247 non-stop operations no matter the case. This is how we build real ROI. So, this is why NetApp is invent has brought a new product to market called AFX.is the first disagregated storage architecture purpose-built for enterprise AI. Disagregation lets us decouple performance from capacity. We start with high-speed networking and then to go fast, you add as many of our ultra resilient storage controllers as you need to meet the demands of your workload.No overprovisioning and you get linear gains.We're supporting 400 gig networking andall the IO for your most demanding AI workloads are supported over standard file and object protocols. No customized file system clients or proprietary file systems that can be difficult to support and lead to substandardsecurity.Every one of these controllers has equal access to all the data in the capacity layer. So to go big, we add our enterprise proven storage enclosures. And as we do, they're automatically configured into a durable pool. Now we provide best-in-class data protection with ultra low overhead and then add in the data efficiencies that NetApp is known for. dduplication, compaction, and you're going to get the best return for your flash investment. Here's the key. We built this on ONAP, so you're getting all the benefits of ONAP plus all the speed and scale of AI storage. So, first, it's simple. AFX is administered by your team without retraining, without the need to grow headcount,and it's reliable. It's built for 6ix9ines.NetApp is the most secure storage on the planet and that's just as important for AI as it is for your other enterprise workloads. So think about how important things like multi multi-tenency are. We can rapidly onboard new projects, maintain security controls with support for advanced security like attribute and role-based access. And don't forget that we also support autonomous ransomware protection and that extends to AFX as well. we're able to protect those valuable data sets and your models. And lastly, it's integrated. So this is what's going to make your data scientists really happy. We've integrated with the leading AISVS so your data scientists and data engineers can do things like invoke a snapshot to curate a data set from the applications that they're already familiar with using today. And the other key part about integration is really ONTAP is everywhere. Because on is the foundation of firstparty storage offerings in all the major hyperscalers, we can support your hybrid cloud workflows and access your data for your AI workflows wherever it lives.So if you're ready to build the AI powered enterprise, visit netapp.com/ai to learn more. Thanks. [Music]
