Infortrend’s EonStor GSi AI Storage Appliance now supports NVIDIA Turing GPU

Infortrend Technology, Inc. announces EonStor GSi AI Storage Appliance Family now supports the next generation NVIDIA Turing™ architecture-powered GPUs in addition to the previous Pascal-powered GPUs.

GSi is designed for enterprises that demand integrated system and combines compute (GPU and CPU), storage (SAN and NAS), network and cloud together in an all-in-one box. With newly released Nvidia Turing GPU support, GSi can deliver accelerated performance for Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) applications.

Companies across industries are already taking advantages of AI to gain significant business insights or enhance their products with intelligence. GSi simplifies the implementation with the built-in Docker environment and support of popular frameworks such as TensorFlow, Caffe, and more. Also at core of GSi are the superior storage performance and PB-scale capacity that allow enterprises to keep the flexibility of targeted deployment.
