There's a disconnect at the center of most AI and analytics infrastructure. Whether it's GPU-accelerated model training or petabyte-scale Spark and Presto queries, modern workloads have pushed compute, networking, and orchestration forward. But data storage often remains anchored to architectures designed decades ago for different workloads. The result: state-of-the-art infrastructure bottlenecked by storage systems that can&
