Intelligent Storage
What is intelligent storage?
Intelligent storage is a data storage system that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to optimize storage efficiency and management in a hybrid storage environment. Intelligent storage systems can be deployed on-premises, as a virtual appliance, or as a cloud service.
How does intelligent storage work?
Intelligent storage works by automatically optimizing and managing data storage using advanced data analytical tools such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. By leveraging these tools, it continuously adapts to its environment to better organize, manage, and serve data. These analytical tools make it possible for machines to “learn” over time, adjust to new inputs and workflows, and exhibit problem-solving traits similar to those of human beings. Intelligent storage systems work both faster and smarter, saving businesses time and money.
Use cases for intelligent storage
The digital storage capacity in the media and entertainment industry is projected to grow 3.2 times by 2026, a whopping 141 exabytes just for archiving and content preservation (according to Coughlin Associates). With this large increase in storage volume comes the need for an intelligent storage solution.
Wasabi AiR is an AI-enabled media storage service that adds structure to unstructured data by automatically tagging data as it is ingested in the Wasabi Cloud. Wasabi AiR eliminates the time-consuming search of media libraries for specific moments, people, places, and things enabling content producers to instantly find what they are looking for and get products to market faster.
