Building AI-Ready Data Pipelines with Intelligent Object Storage

Modern enterprises generate massive volumes of data, but most of it is not immediately usable for AI. The real challenge is no longer capacity or speed — it’s turning raw data into AI-ready intelligence with minimal complexity.

Why Traditional Storage Falls Short for AI

AI and advanced analytics require more than fast object storage. They demand:

• Context-rich data with metadata and embeddings
• Low-latency access for real-time inference and analytics
• Reduced data movement between storage, analytics, and AI pipelines

Without intelligence built into storage, teams must rely on external tools to prepare data — increasing cost, delay, and architectural sprawl.

Intelligence Built Directly into Storage

HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 introduces data intelligence at the storage layer, transforming data as it is ingested rather than after the fact.

Core capabilities include:

• Inline metadata extraction and enrichment
  Data is automatically analyzed on ingest, producing metadata and vector embeddings without external processing steps.
• AI-ready object storage
  Stored data becomes immediately searchable, queryable, and consumable by AI and analytics engines.
• Native analytics access
  Query enriched data directly using SQL engines such as Spark or Trino — no data duplication required.
• Context for AI agents
  Support for Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables efficient context delivery for agentic AI and RAG workflows.

Simplifying and Accelerating AI Pipelines

By eliminating the need to move and reprocess data, the X10000 accelerates the entire AI lifecycle:

• Faster retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
• Improved LLM inference and training efficiency
• Cleaner, simpler architectures with fewer tools to manage

Data scientists and engineers can focus on building models and insights instead of managing pipelines.

Built for the AI Ecosystem

HPE Alletra Storage MP X10000 integrates seamlessly with GPU-accelerated environments and modern AI platforms, including solutions built around NVIDIA. This enables scalable, end-to-end AI data pipelines — from ingestion to insight — across petabyte and exabyte environments.
