Top 10 Reasons to Chose NetApp Keystone STaaS for Enterprise AI
Put AI-ready infrastructure within reach. AI brings plenty of unknowns-from capacity and costs to security and management. NetApp Keystone STaaS for Enterprise AI offers a flexible, consumption-based solution that lets you start small and scale as demands evolve. View the infographic to discover 10 ways you can reduce upfront costs, simplify operations, strengthen security, and build AI-ready infrastructure.
How does NetApp Keystone STaaS help us start AI projects without big upfront costs?
NetApp Keystone STaaS for Enterprise AI is designed to help you operationalize AI at your own pace without a big capital outlay.
Instead of purchasing hardware and locking into long, rigid contracts, you can:
- Shift from CapEx to OpEx: Turn what would normally be a large capital expense into a predictable operating expense through a single subscription.
- Start small and scale: Begin with a low-TiB, 1-year commitment, which helps you diminish operational and financial risk while you validate use cases.
- Pay as you go: You only pay for the storage you actually use, which is especially useful when AI storage needs are uncertain, seasonal, or fluctuate as projects grow.
This model lets you get access to advanced AI-ready storage and expertise right away, while keeping your budget flexible and aligned with real demand.
What makes Keystone STaaS AI-ready and easier to manage for our teams?
NetApp Keystone STaaS for Enterprise AI is built to be AI-ready and AI-optimized, so your teams can focus more on models and outcomes, and less on infrastructure.
Key capabilities include:
- AI-focused architecture: NetApp’s AFX architecture and AI Data Engine help you address challenges in both AI development and deployment, while improving performance, efficiency, and scalability.
- Seamless integration: The platform integrates with popular AI frameworks, tools, and accelerators, so you can plug into existing workflows instead of rebuilding them.
- Unified management: With the integrated NetApp Console and Data Infrastructure Insights, you get automated management and observability, reducing manual effort and complexity.
- On-demand scalability: You can scale storage capacity and performance for AI workloads on demand, without complex capacity planning or overprovisioning.
Together, these capabilities help you reimagine how you run AI infrastructure—simplifying day-to-day operations so IT and data science teams can spend more time on higher-value work.
