AI-Ready Data Infrastructure Reference Architecture White Paper
The era of AI is here. Large AI models are already injecting new vitality into data, further unlocking its inherent value. Indeed, powered by AI, data is becoming something akin to a new oil: the key element for driving new productivity. Data infrastructure, of course, carries data, so the strength of a country's data infrastructure will ultimately determine its ability to move forward and stay ahead.
Data infrastructure needs to offer high-performance, strong consistency, resilience, and reliable data access services to ensure that high-quality data can be effectively used in AI computing. So, data infrastructure featuring future-ready storage power that’s a perfect fit for AI computing has become the key to bolstering the era of large AI models.
Challenges for Data Infrastructure in the AI Era
Definition and Characteristics of AI-Ready Data Infrastructure
AI-ready data infrastructure refers to data storage software and hardware systems designed for AI applications and services. Building AI-ready data infrastructure therefore requires comprehensive preparation, across the board.
Advice for CIOs
AI is only as good as the data that fuels it. Enterprises must build unified data lakes to enable data asset visibility, manageability, and availability, turn data into a key element of production, and implement large AI model services faster.
Ever-evolving large AI models have increasingly higher computing power needs. Enterprises should refer to industry best practices to shift from simply stacking computing power to fully unlocking its potential. This requires enterprises to build a future-proof intelligent computing foundation powered by an AI-ready data infrastructure solution.
Data assets have become increasingly critical to large AI models. Tampering, theft, and ransomware attacks to core data such as model files and training data can cause massive resource waste and economic losses. Enterprises should immediately build all-round data protection capabilities.
Large AI model training for data center applications requires huge investments. Edge applications are a key area where generative AI can create profits. Enterprises should use one-stop training/inference HCI appliances to quickly develop and launch their AI products to monetize their large AI models.
Enterprises should proactively evaluate their AI readiness, build technical teams specialized in large AI models (especially storage for large AI models), and improve their professional capabilities.
