Pure Storage® (NYSE: PSTG), a pioneer in advanced data storage technologies, has announced that Espresso Gridpoint (EGP), a Dutch Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provider, is using the Pure Storage platform to support its growing infrastructure needs and business expansion.
Customer Challenges
To serve its customer base and support its ambitious growth, EGP faced several challenges. Its clients, including Managed Service Providers (MSPs), require flexible, high-performance, and reliable IT solutions. EGP needed a platform capable of handling large volumes of data without compromising performance. Scalability in the face of demand fluctuations also posed a challenge for capacity planning and sustainability. Additionally, bottlenecks in delivering information to clients highlighted the need for more adaptable infrastructure.
One of EGP’s clients is AI-InfraSolutions, a company that has developed an artificial intelligence platform to optimize the use of geodata. With 25 mobile mapping vehicles in the Netherlands, AI-InfraSolutions captures petabytes of data annually with the goal of improving and securing outdoor spaces through digital analysis. Their advanced system refines and publishes data, utilizing AI models to recognize object features and a “Spatial Studio” that allows accessible use of all information. Processing such a large amount of geodata posed significant challenges due to bottlenecks and traditional storage’s inability to meet performance requirements.
Impact on the Customer
To help AI-InfraSolutions and other clients achieve their desired performance, EGP chose the Pure Storage platform. This solution provides an efficient and robust energy foundation for high-performance, scalable, and always-available storage.
