As the platform for innovative applications, FlexPod AI/ML helps you to power the most demanding AI applications. With an infrastructure optimised for analytic workloads, it assures performance of modern enterprise applications using next-generation compute, storage and fabric in a validated solution.
Data stored on your FlexPod infrastructure holds tremendous value.

This is especially true when data gravity, security and regulatory requirements dictate that model training be performed on the premises, where your data lives.
