Very little enterprise data is used to train the large language models underlying their chatbots and other AI assistants, limiting their business value. The content-aware IBM Storage Scale addresses this challenge by uncovering the semantic meaning hidden in unstructured data so that AI assistants can automatically generate smarter answers. It leverages natural language processing (NLP) to analyze content such as PDFs, emails, and videos in real time. With no training required and no data movement, up-to-date answers are delivered directly where the data resides.
Ask an AI chatbot who won last night’s football game, and it will likely return the right answer. But ask that same chatbot about a company’s newly launched product, and you might get, “Item not found.” The reason? Most enterprise data—such as PDFs, emails, presentations, and videos—is not used to train large language models. IBM Storage Scale addresses this challenge with content-aware capabilities that uncover meaning in unstructured data, enabling AI to deliver smarter, more relevant answers.
Generative AI has transformed how businesses interact with data, yet most organizations still face a critical gap. Large language models are not trained on their own enterprise data, which means AI assistants often return incomplete, outdated, or generic answers to business-critical questions. IBM Storage Scale addresses this challenge by bringing intelligence closer to the data. By embedding AI capabilities directly into the storage layer, it helps keep models current, efficient, and secure.
When researching complex diseases like cystic fibrosis, timing matters. AI agents, powered by content-aware IBM Storage Scale and NVIDIA NeMo Retriever, can reflect, plan, and respond using the latest scientific findings. This example shows how rapidly evolving medical data can be turned into timely, actionable understanding that accelerates reporting on the impact of gene therapy. It also outlines the full journey from data ingestion to inferencing, helping organizations confidently adopt these advanced AI capabilities.
Curious about what IBM Storage Scale can do for your organization? Whether you're building AI pipelines, modernizing your data infrastructure, or managing massive volumes of unstructured data, Storage Scale offers the performance, flexibility, and intelligence you need. Explore how its enterprise-grade capabilities, including global access, advanced resiliency, and content-aware storage, can support your most demanding workloads.
