VAST Data: Data platform for an AI factory, what's at stake?
By Bertrand Ounanian, Systems Engineering Manager, VAST Data
The “data products” created and deployed in an AI factory are increasingly the result of continuous, real-time processing, requiring data enrichment and global availability. The processing itself is fundamentally different, now based on inference, chaining together numerous microservices, orchestrated and triggered by events. These are all new constraints to which an AI data platform must respond, with flexibility and integration with these distributed processes.
AI factories need to address a spectrum ranging from silicon to user services, and VAST Data is helping to create the largest AI factories in the world. This workshop details the place of the data platform for AI in this context, its transformation and the challenges it must meet.
