If enterprises want to easily start artificial intelligence (AI) deployment, Infortrend Pu'an Technology's EonStor GSi storage solution is a good choice. Through GSi, users can improve the efficiency of business operation, and even develop new business models. Monitoring, transportation, healthcare, retail and other industries are all areas where AI storage solutions play a huge role.

According to a survey by McKinsey, a well-known management consulting firm, global investment in artificial intelligence has increased from $26 billion in 2014 to $38 billion in 2016. Despite the rapid growth in investment, the enterprise application of AI is still in its infancy. Only 20% of the companies surveyed have deployed artificial intelligence to improve their business, while the rest are still in the testing and pilot stage. For those enterprises that want to use AI, the input cost of GSi is not high, and AI has complete functions, so it is an ideal starting point.

EonStor GSi storage is designed for AI functionality. GSi integrates computing (GPU and CPU), storage (SAN and NAS), network, and cloud into one solution to accelerate AI deployment. The integration of GPU and Docker platform enables users to run machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) applications smoothly.

In addition, Infortrend also deeply optimizes Docker's management user interface Portainer to enhance more functions. One of the new features is App Sotre (Application Store), which displays more than 50 frameworks and platforms for users to easily install and run applications. For example, GSi supports popular AI frameworks, such as Tensorflow,Caffe2,NVIDIA Digits,Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit.

As a platform for hosting AI applications, EonStor GSi can be called a dark horse in the industry. The main strategy of Infortrend is to find as many AI partners as possible. In the surveillance industry, through Docker container images, intelligent video analysis can be deployed to EonStor GSi, and the functions of storage and video analysis can be used to search for targets in surveillance video files, such as face recognition, license plate recognition, specific behavior and so on. The full integration of artificial intelligence applications can bring rich returns to enterprises, such as convenient maintenance, cost savings, and reduce the risk of false positives.

In healthcare applications, EonStor GSi can be integrated with medical imaging software run by AI to promote the development of medical imaging services, such as imaging diagnosis. In smart city projects, such as intelligent transportation and smart retail, EonStor GSi has unique advantages for the deployment and implementation of AI applications.

Mr. Gao Mingxian, Senior Director of Product Planning, said: "We will fully support more software to build our GSi into a universal and easy-to-use AI platform, so that our users can fully enjoy the advantages brought by AI technology."
