Why AI breaks traditional storage

AI workloads impose a brutal combination of demands — mixing petabyte-scale unstructured data, billions of small objects, and hundreds of tools with ultra-low latency requirements and strict security constraints.

Edge-to-core data aggregation

Sensors, logs, and distributed inputs must be efficiently collected, processed, and centralized

Unpredictable growth

AI evolves fast — rigid systems can’t adapt quickly enough to avoid disruption

I/O blender effect

100s of simultaneous tools and apps generate mixed, unpredictable access patterns

Mixed performance needs

Requires ultra-high throughput for large files and microsecond latency for billions of small objects

Pipeline-wide data coordination

Requires consistent, governed access across hundreds of tools, formats, and workflow stages

Filtering & augmentation for LLMs

RAG and AI prep workflows demand precise, fast access to the most current and relevant data

Pipeline-wide privacy & security

Data must be protected across all stages — from ingestion to inference — in multi-tenant environments

Cyberthreat exposure

Training sets and proprietary knowledge bases are high-value targets for ransomware and insider threats

Performance vs. cost tradeoffs

Flash is essential for AI performance but must be paired with smart lifecycle tiering to control costs at scale

The future of AI belongs to those who protect the pipeline

The AI boom has focused on GPUs, but it’s data infrastructure that defines what’s possible. As pipelines stretch from ingest to training to RAG, it’s not just about speed — it’s about moving and protecting massive datasets without friction.

Yet most storage systems only solve for a slice of the problem, and bolt-on approaches create brittle pipelines, fragmented by tiers, tools, and trust gaps.

AI infrastructure was never meant to be fast and loose. The future of AI belongs to those who protect the pipeline — not just accelerate it.

RING XP: Flash-first storage for AI, built to scale and secure

Scality RING XP is the all-flash, high-performance edition of our proven RING platform — engineered for the scale, speed, and security demands of real-world AI. It delivers microsecond latency, exabyte scalability, and built-in cyber resilience, all in a single software-defined solution.

With native support for vector search, multi-tenant security, and intelligent tiering from flash to tape, RING XP gives you the power to move fast — without breaking your pipeline.

Performance at exabyte-scale

Dual access modes for optimized AI performance and flexibility:

  • AI-optimized performance mode: Microsecond latency for 4KB object access — up to 100x faster than Amazon S3 and 20x faster than S3 Express One Zone
  • Fast S3 mode: 10x higher throughput than traditional object storage, ideal for large-scale unstructured data, with full S3 API compatibility and IAM-based multi-tenancy

Patented MultiScale architecture enables limitless scale out across 10 dimensions — apps, objects, users, IO rates, throughput and more

Security by design

End-to-end data protection to secure AI’s most valuable data:

CORE5 cyber resilience: Only Scality protects data at every level of the system — from API to architecture — with true immutability and multi-layer defense against exfiltration, privilege escalation, and emerging AI-era threats

Secure multi-tenancy: Enforces strong isolation, access control, and auditability across shared infrastructure

Regulatory-grade safeguards: S3 Object Lock, encryption, and retention controls keep data intact and

Smarter data for smarter AI

Filter, prepare, and enrich your AI data at scale:

SQL-based data filtering: Seamlessly connect to Starburst, Dremio, Trino, and other engines to query and refine massive unstructured datasets

RAG-ready architecture: Directly integrates with leading vector databases to power retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for LLMs

Streamlined AI prep workflows: Enable faster data cleansing, enrichment, and transformation without moving or duplicating data

Maximum efficiency and flexibility

Freedom to run AI workloads where and how you want, no compromise.

Unified data tiering: Optimize performance and cost with seamless lifecycle management across flash (hot), HDD (warm), and tape (cold)

Hardware freedom: Run RING XP on certified all-flash servers from HPE, Dell, Lenovo, and Supermicro with no lock-in

Smart hybrid deployment: Co-locate RING XP and standard RING on shared infrastructure to combine flash performance with cost-efficient capacity — and achieve dramatically lower TCO
