How do we ensure our data is ‘AI-ready’?

Unlock the power of your data with AI-ready solutions

As businesses increasingly adopt Artificial Intelligence (AI), the question is no longer if but how your organisation can leverage AI to stay competitive. A critical first step is ensuring that your data infrastructure is AI-ready. But what does that mean, and what steps should you take?

Many customers start their ‘clean up’ data journey by first starting to remove data silos – as over time, same and different formats of data exist in different systems that are not designed to speak with each other. A unified single data platform approach is the first objective. In the context of AI, more and more customers are moving to object storage to create Data Lakehouses as Tier 2 & Tier 3 data to help provide the foundational data for inferencing customisable AI models.

Lenovo Storage systems offer both a Unified Data Management system (with our ThinkSystem DM & DG Systems), as well as purpose built SDS platforms (with Weka, Cloudian, & Ceph) to help create the Data Lakehouses.
