Storage & Infrastructure

Modern AI architecture rests on a comfortable assumption: when AI slows down, the fix is more compute or a better model. Bigger GPUs. Denser clusters. New architectures. That assumption is now costing organizations real money.

Storage, not models or compute, is now AI's biggest bottleneck. The fix is an architectural one, not a bigger GPU.
