Cloud Storage Rapid: Turbocharged object storage for AI and analytics
Cloud Storage Rapid is a new family of object storage capabilities for AI and analytics workloads. It consists of Rapid Bucket and Rapid Cache, designed to minimize I/O bottlenecks and keep accelerators like GPUs and TPUs fully saturated. This is a response to the performance tipping point reached by traditional object storage. Developers can now choose between specialized performance and reliability, depending on their workload needs. This is particularly important for teams training trillion-parameter models and deploying inference at global scale.
