An IBM Redbook guide shows how to integrate Storage Scale ECE, IBM Fusion, and Big Blue’s Content-Aware Storage (CAS) with Nvidia’s AI Data Platform to provide “an active AI preparation engine that continuously processes unstructured data – making it AI-ready through GPU-accelerated semantic chunking, vectorization, and indexing.”
IBM added content awareness to Storage Scale (CAS) in March last year to enhance its retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) capability, building on Nvidia’s AI-Q blueprint and NeMo Retriever microservice. It also announced Storage Scale support for Nvidia’s AI Data Platform reference design.
At that time, IBM said Storage Scale content awareness facilities would be embedded in the next update of IBM Fusion, generally available in the second quarter of 2025.
IBM says that a challenge facing agentic AI systems is preparing the vast repositories of enterprise data – roughly 80 to 90 percent of which exists as unstructured documents,…
