Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to products and services that enable machines to perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence—such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. This category includes markets that focus on helping organizations build, deploy, and scale intelligent systems, utilizing AI across multiple industries through technologies like machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and generative AI.
The primary storage platform (PSP) market addresses the need of I&O leaders to operate and support standardized enterprise storage products, along with platform-native service capabilities to support structured data applications. PSP products like primary enterprise storage arrays provide mandatory and common enterprise-class primary storage features and capabilities needed to support the platform. Platform-native services like storage as a service (STaaS) and ransomware protection, with PSP product capabilities, are required to support platform-native services. The PSP market has emerged at the convergence of two major enterprise storage market developments: the evolution of the PSP product market in conjunction with the demand for hybrid, multidomain platform-native storage services, extending on-premises services to public cloud, edge and colocation environments.
