Collect data
Data is the fuel that powers AI, but it can become trapped or stored in a way that makes it difficult or cost prohibitive to maintain or expand. Customers need to unleash that data so it can expand from edge to inference in a simple and cost-effective infrastructure. IBM Storage for data and AI makes data simple and accessible for a hybrid multicloud infrastructure with AI storage solutions that fit your business model.

Analyze data
There is no AI without an information architecture (IA). Organizations must plan for issues beyond just the deployment of AI; they need to build an AI infrastructure with the confidence that it can scale. IBM Storage for big data provides a simple and integrated AI infrastructure for analysis from edge to inference.
Two of the most powerful computers on the planet - Summit and Sierra – are purpose-built for AI, and both depend on IBM Storage.
