What is intelligent storage?

Intelligent storage is storage hardware enhanced with compute resources for software and processing. Intelligent storage can also be deployed as a virtual machine or a cloud-based service. Hardware vendors are adding this intelligent storage capability directly to flash modules and building it into data center storage arrays.

What technologies are enabling intelligent storage?

Technologies enabling intelligent storage include the following: AI analytics: Using processes such as analytical queries and predictive modeling, AI can optimize data storage by looking for patterns and anomalies that indicate problems or forecast outcomes.

How can intelligent storage improve data security?

Compliance and security: By offering a way to customize data flows and access policies, intelligent storage presents new possibilities for strengthening security. Its algorithms can also factor in data governance rules, providing a basis for automated compliance.

Is Ai the future of energy storage?

But this is just the beginning. Here, Carlos Nieto, Global Product Line Manager, Energy Storage at ABB, describes the advances in innovation that have brought AI-enabled BESS to the market, and explains how AI has the potential to make renewable assets and storage more reliable and, in turn, more lucrative.

How can AI help a storage system?

AI can be built into storage systems in several ways: at device levels, tiered storage and data lifecycle management, and data accessibility support. For each category, AI can analyze the access patterns and performance associated with data and automatically perform actions to keep speed and access at their peak.

Is large-scale energy storage the future of variable generation?
