As AI Increases Demands on Memory, Storage Steps Up
As context windows explode, storage becomes the new bottleneck in AI infrastructure.
Why it matters
AI workloads are outpacing memory capacity, forcing a rethink of storage architecture and data flow in AI factories. This shifts focus from raw compute to the I/O and persistence layer as a critical constraint on scaling.
