MAINSTAGE "Industry Visionary" Presentation: Maximizing the Benefits of QLC Flash with Pure's Hyperscale Solution for Applications Ranging from AI/ML to HDD Displacement

Abstract

As data growth accelerates in the age of AI, hyperscalers demand higher-capacity storage solutions that deliver a balanced combination of performance, power, and cost-effectiveness. In this session, we will present how QLC NAND-based Direct Flash Modules (DFM), in conjunction with Pure’s advanced software architecture, allows hyperscalers to take advantage of high-density, higher-performance, and reliable SSD storage compared to HDDs. Pure’s intelligent flash management software abstracts the host software from the underlying NAND technology, enabling faster adoption of newer NAND technologies and providing flexibility with different NAND vendors. With a configurable solution, Pure’s offering enables the adoption of the same solution across multiple use cases, from AI/ML to HDD displacement.
