Pure Storage has debuted FlashBlade//EXA™, the industry's highest-performing data storage platform, engineered to meet the most demanding requirements of AI and High-Performance Computing (HPC). 

Traditional data storage methods have hindered AI’s full potential, but FlashBlade//EXA overcomes these limitations by eliminating metadata bottlenecks. Built on the proven FlashBlade architecture, it is designed for high concurrency and the vast metadata operations required for large-scale AI and HPC workloads.

Scheduled for release in summer 2025, FlashBlade//EXA is projected to deliver more than 10 terabytes per second of read performance in a single namespace, setting a new bar as the industry's highest-performing storage solution.

"FlashBlade//EXA delivers a massively parallel architecture that enables independent scaling of  data and metadata to provide customers with unmatched performance, scalability, and adaptability for some of the largest, most demanding data environments in the world. Storage is now accelerating the pace of large-scale HPC and AI evolution," said Rob Lee, Chief Technology Officer, Pure Storage.

FlashBlade//EXA’s architecture scales data and metadata independently, provides near unlimited scale with off-the-shelf, third-party data nodes that enable highly scalable multi-dimensional performance, and reduces complexity in deployment, management, and scaling through the use of standard protocols and networking.

A Modern Storage Architecture for AI and HPC Workloads

Built on a decade of Pure Storage innovation to provide transformational storage for AI and HPC environments, FlashBlade//EXA is purpose-built for the challenges of AI workloads, delivering unmatched performance and metadata management. 

Its disaggregated, massively parallel architecture enables storage flexibility at scale. This allows enterprises to adapt to evolving multimodal models, optimize reliability, and eliminate idle time to accelerate AI model training and inference while improving GPU utilization. 

Additionally, the combination of Pure Storage's metadata engine and Purity operating system with cost-efficient, off-the-shelf data nodes enables enterprises to achieve an unparalleled price-to-performance ratio.
