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.
There is no single AI workload
Every AI pipeline demands different throughput, latency, and protection.
Storage grows faster than headcount
More data, more policies, and more workloads - but without more people.
Power has become a hard design constraint
Capacity is now bounded by what facilities can power and cool.
Performance must match the workload
Match performance to workload, not all data on premium flash.
Cyber resilience is also for storage
Boards and regulators now demand proof, not claims, of recoverability.
SCALITY AUTONOMOUS DATA INFRASTRUCTURE
A new platform for enterprise data infrastructure.
Scality Autonomous Data Infrastructure, or Scality ADI, combines a proven distributed object foundation with autonomous operational capabilities, software-defined media flexibility, built-in cyber resilience, and extreme performance with GPU-direct capabilities. The result is a platform that keeps AI data accessible at the speed required, preserves critical data durably for the long term, and does so under enterprise-grade governance and control.
architecture IN MOTION
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.
01
Autonomous Operations
Guardian, Scality's proprietary AI agent, reduces manual burden by surfacing insights, recommending actions, and supporting operational workflows like expansion, healing, rebalancing, upgrades, and validation. The result: fewer repetitive tasks, fewer disruptive maintenance events, and clearer observability for your team.
02
CORE5 Cyber Resilience
CORE5 Cyber Resilience builds immutability, durability, metadata protection, multi-site replication, and policy enforcement directly into the architecture. The result is recoverability you can prove, auditability that holds up under scrutiny, and confidence in front of security teams, insurers, and regulators.
03
AI-Scale Object Access
MultiScale lets capacity, throughput, and operations grow independently. High-concurrency S3 and S3 over RDMA data paths handle modern AI access patterns at scale - from data preparation to retrieval-heavy pipelines and high-performance object workflows - without forcing the rest of your environment to scale in lockstep.
04
Workload-Aligned Media Agility
A single namespace and policy-driven lifecycle place hot, warm, and cold data on the right media - rather than creating separate storage silos for every performance tier or retention outcome.
05
Real-Time Power Awareness
Power visibility at system, node, and workload levels helps customers manage against real facility limits, not just theoretical design assumptions.
06
Open-Code Trust and Long-Life Design
Inspectability, governed contribution, and long support horizons strengthen trust in environments where longevity, transparency, and procurement confidence matter.
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 enforced at the object level - not just access control
- 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 enforced at the object level - not just access control
- Multi-tenant isolation and per-tenant quotas enforced in the architecture
- Power-aware media tiering across hot, warm, and cold AI data
DESIGNED FOR THE AI ERA
On purpose.
Workload-Aligned Software-Hardware Profiles
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
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
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
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
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
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 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.
