Pure Storage has announced joined the Ultra Ethernet Consortium (UEC), which is dedicated to advancing Ethernet technology for AI and high-performance computing (HPC) applications. Pure Storage aims to contribute to the development of open, Ethernet-based architectures that support large-scale AI and HPC workloads.
As part of its involvement, Pure Storage will help shape and integrate UEC technology standards into its platform, optimizing it for Ethernet-based AI and HPC applications. The move comes as enterprises increasingly adopt Ethernet for its cost-effectiveness, interoperability, and reliability, making it a cornerstone of AI infrastructure. The Ultra Ethernet standards being developed by UEC will enable businesses to maximize their AI and HPC investments, driving innovation and improving operational efficiency.
The partnership underscores Pure Storage’s dedication to providing flexible and high-performance data storage solutions tailored to the evolving needs of AI and HPC workloads. By collaborating with other industry giants within the UEC, Pure Storage will play a key role in advancing Ethernet technology to meet the growing demands of modern enterprises.
“Joining the UEC provides Pure with the opportunity to work alongside leaders in compute, networking, and storage to drive the development of a new ultra-Ethernet architecture for the most advanced AI and HPC workloads,” said Maciej Kranz, GM, Enterprise, Pure Storage.
