SoftBank requires high-availability storage infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted services delivery without compromise, even in the wake of natural disasters. Success of its modern cloud services in new business opportunities depends on cost-efficiency and performance. Machine learning and artificial intelligence projects like the development of a native Japanese LLM need data integrity and five-nines availability.
Results
SoftBank minimizes risk of data loss by relying on the flexible, software-centric Pure Storage architecture that can be upgraded without disruption and in a modular way. The company supports business continuity in a country prone to natural disasters by synchronously replicating data between sites. Faster and more reliable storage performance for SoftBank’s core office automation system improves employee experience and increases productivity. With the Pure Storage architecture, SoftBank has the performance, availability, and data integrity needed to build and run machine learning and artificial intelligence applications.
