Keep Critical Data Moving. Keep AI Compute Productive.
Fast processors cannot compensate for every data-access bottleneck. ATTO SiliconDisk provides a shared, memory-based block-storage tier for repeatedly accessed AI working data and I/O-intensive pipeline stages.
Published appliance-level specifications; actual results depend on workload and configuration.
GPU power is only one part of AI performance.
AI systems repeatedly ingest, transform, and reuse information. When the active working set lives outside host memory and storage requests are latency-sensitive, I/O delays may keep expensive compute resources from reaching their potential.
Accelerate the data that needs it most.
SiliconDisk complements capacity flash storage with a compact DRAM-based block-storage tier. Selected hot datasets, feature stores, and temporary processing results can be placed closer to high-speed compute through compatible NVMe-oF/RoCE v2 access.
Where Faster Storage Can Make a Difference
Target the pipeline stages where faster storage access is meaningful.
Speed repeated data access
Support smaller, frequently reused training, inference, or analytics datasets that generate intensive storage I/O.
Accelerate data preparation
Provide responsive temporary block storage for transformation, preprocessing, and feature-generation stages.
Keep compute and storage flexible
Add a dedicated Ethernet-connected performance tier as AI infrastructure evolves.
Measure the storage contribution
Use Insight Analytics™ to understand whether I/O behavior contributes to pipeline delay.
