AI-Native Object Storage for the Intelligent Cable Network

This solution brief maps AIStor capabilities to five cable-specific initiative areas: Network Intelligence and AIOps, Subscriber Experience Analytics, Edge AI, Security and Cryptographic Resilience, and Context-Aware Networks. For Network Intelligence and AIOps, AIStor provides the throughput GPU clusters require with native support for model checkpoints, embedding stores, and RAG retrieval, enabling ML models trained on complete PNM datasets rather than sampled fragments. For Subscriber Experience Analytics, AIStor's native Iceberg integration supports a high-performance data lakehouse correlating Wi-Fi telemetry, CPE diagnostics, QoE data, and support records at scale using any query engine. The brief covers edge deployment options enabled by AIStor's lightweight binary, native on NVIDIA STX; security controls spanning AES-256 encryption, TLS, and audit logging; and multi-tenancy architecture for multi-operator NaaS platforms. Performance benchmarks and TCO comparisons are included for operators evaluating infrastructure consolidation.
