Scality ADI
Built for GPU hunger, deep cold, and everything in between.
Scality ADI is data infrastructure that autonomously and sustainably aligns the right storage media, performance, and protection to each stage of the data lifecycle — at multi-petabyte to exabyte scale.
WHY THE OLD ANSWER NO LONGER WORKS
AI has broken the old storage model.
ADI
A new operating model for enterprise data infrastructure.
AI-Ready
Cyber-Resilient
Sovereign
AI-Ready
Built for the throughput and access patterns GPUs actually need in production. High-concurrency S3 and S3 over RDMA data paths keep training, inference, retrieval, and agentic workflows fed. Every workload gets the performance it needs, without paying for premium media across every terabyte.
Cyber-Resilient
CORE5 protection built into the architecture itself. Object-level immutability, multi-site replication, and audit-ready recovery for security teams, insurers, and regulators. Scality does not prevent cyberattacks; the storage layer holds the recovery path when one happens.
Sovereign
On-premise, air-gapped, and sovereign-cloud deployment options. Policy-enforced data residency at the namespace level. Open-code inspectability where regulated procurement demands it, with no cloud dependency required.
COMMERCIAL MODEL
Outcome-Based Pricing
Scality ADI introduces an outcome-based commercial model. SLA commitments align to the four results customers care about most - and the platform is flexible in how it can be consumed.
Availability
Uptime commitments that hold through failure events, upgrades, and expansion.

Pressures and Responses
Five pressures under one architecture.
Scality ADI doesn't add another point product to the pile. It absorbs each pressure with a specific architectural response — under one architecture, under one policy plane, in one namespace
Pressure
Response
There is no single AI workload.
Training, inference, retrieval, and agent traffic each demand different throughput, latency, and protection.
Workload-Aligned Media Agility
Hot, warm, and cold data placed on the right media under one namespace and one policy-driven lifecycle.
Performance must match the workload.
Putting every terabyte on premium flash doesn't scale economically. Hot data needs throughput; cold data needs density.
AI-Scale Object Access
MultiScale grows capacity, throughput, and operations independently. High-concurrency S3 and S3 over RDMA keep GPUs fed.
Cyber resilience is also for storage.
Boards, insurers, and regulators now demand proof of recoverability, not claims. Protection has to live in the architecture.
CORE5 Cyber Resilience
Immutability, durability, metadata protection, multi-site replication, and policy enforcement built across five architectural layers.
Power has become a hard design constraint.
Capacity is bounded by what facilities can power and cool. Performance decisions need to connect to datacenter realities.
Real-Time Power Awareness
System, node, and workload power visibility in real time. Managed against real facility limits, not theoretical design assumptions.
Storage grows faster than headcount.
More data, more policies, more workloads — but no more people. Infrastructure has to operate itself within bounded policy.
Autonomous Operations · Guardian
Guardian surfaces insights, recommends actions, and executes within customer-defined bounds. Operational intelligence with policy-governed execution.
ARCHITECTURE
The platform under the workloads.
Autonomous AI operations reduce manual tasks, anticipate risks, and simplify maintenance.
CORE5 Cyber resilience ensures auditable recovery through protection, replication, and policy enforcement.
Scalable S3 and RDMA speed up AI data, inference, KV cache, and model transfer without matching growth.
One namespace moves data across tiers by policy, eliminating silos and optimizing retention.
Real-time power visibility keeps operations within actual infrastructure limits.
Open code, governance, and long-term support strengthen trust, transparency, and longevity.
use cases
Built for the workloads that matter most.
Enterprise AI for Core and Edge
Cyber Resilience
AI cloud
Scality ADI manages bi-directional AI data flows between core and edge environments. Curate and govern in the core, push to edge, return events and artifacts back.
- Multimodal Agentic RAG, VSS, Deep Research Agents
- Centralized Cache for Distributed Inference (KV cache)
- Indexed and vectorized enterprise data with GPU-direct access
An immutable, high-scale object foundation for backup and recovery. Fast operational restore and long-term preservation in one platform.
- Immutability is enforced at the object level, independent of user credentials.
- Audit artifacts for regulators, insurers, and security review
- Pre-integrated with Veeam, Commvault, and Rubrik
GPU-direct throughput and large shared multi-tenant infrastructure, without forcing every terabyte onto premium flash or stalling the GPU fleet.
- Immutability is enforced at the object level, independent of user credentials.
- Multi-tenant isolation and per-tenant quotas enforced in the architecture
- Power-aware media tiering across hot, warm, and cold AI data

Workload-Aligned Software-Hardware Profiles
Scality ADI aligns software behavior with the infrastructure profile each workload actually needs. AI pipelines, resilience workflows, sovereign environments, and long-term retention can operate through one model instead of separate infrastructure silos.
Built to Keep GPUs Productive
Scality ADI sustains the throughput and access patterns GPUs actually need in real-world environments, not just raw peak speed. High-concurrency object access and high-performance data paths keep GPUs fed without forcing every workload onto premium media.
AI, Cyber Resilience, and Sovereign Control in One Platform
Most vendors lead from one position: AI performance, cyber resilience, or sovereignty. Scality ADI brings all three together in a single Scality ADI platform, so enterprises and public-sector teams don't have to optimize for one requirement by creating compromise somewhere else.
Cross-Temperature Lifecycle Without New Silos
Scality ADI aligns the right media, performance, and protection to each stage of the data lifecycle. Hot, warm, and cold workloads operate under one model, removing the need for separate storage silos for every performance tier or retention outcome.
Autonomous Operations with Practical Enterprise Value
Scality ADI's autonomous operations are not about hands-off infrastructure for its own sake. Workload-aware agents and policy-driven workflows reduce repetitive tasks, limit disruptive maintenance, and improve observability for the teams running the platform.
Real-Time Power Telemetry as an Operational Advantage
Scality ADI gives customers visibility into power consumption at system, node, and workload levels in real time. Infrastructure teams can manage within real facility limits, connect performance decisions to datacenter realities, and support sustainability goals with verifiable data.
Open-Code Trust for Long-Life Infrastructure
Open-code inspectability and governed contribution strengthen trust where longevity, transparency, and control matter. That supports Scality ADI's position in sovereign, regulated, and mission-critical environments where software lifecycle confidence weighs as much as technical capability.
