FEATURE: AI
Ahmad Mubarak, Senior Systems Engineer,
Middle East at Infoblox
Forrester predicts that businesses that use
AI, big data and IoT to uncover new business
insights ‘will steal US$1.2 trillion per annum
from their less informed peers by 2020’. And
according to Gartner, 80% of enterprises will
deploy AI by 2020.
It’s all too clear that no company can
afford to ignore the benefits AI can bring
to their enterprises and vendors are keen to
lead the way.
AI-ready infrastructure from
Pure Storage
Pure Storage, for instance, has announced
AIRI, an integrated AI-ready infrastructure
for deploying deep learning at scale.
AIRI can operationalise AI-at-scale for
enterprise and government organisations
and can accelerate time-to-insight and
create impactful innovations faster.
Pure Storage says AIRI enables organisations
to turn data into innovation at an
unprecedented pace.
AI represents an opportunity for enterprises
to innovate not only at a product level,
but within day-to-day operations as they
lead their industries through periods of
tremendous change.
And AIRI provides architecture that
empowers organisations with the data-
centric infrastructure needed to harness the
true power of AI.

“AI has fantastic potential for aiding
humanity,” said Charles Giancarlo, CEO,
Pure Storage.
“It has the capacity to significantly
improve the quality of all of our lives.
Safer autonomous vehicles will save tens
of thousands of lives and make us more
efficient. AI-driven advances in life sciences
have made preventative healthcare a current
reality rather than a vague future possibility.
“AI will provide highly personalised
experiences for the consumer, while
keeping online communities safer. AIRI will
accelerate AI research, enabling innovators
to more rapidly make advances to create a
better world with data.”
