Challenge

Training large AI models requires feeding data to GPUs at scale. But object stores and data lakes aren’t built for the throughput or low latency AI workloads demand. Every I/O bottleneck slows down training jobs, wastes GPU cycles, and delays iteration.

Training Delays

due to low-throughput access to remote storage

Severe I/O Starvation

blocks training jobs, leaving GPU underutlized

Redundant and Inefficient Data Path

adds unnecessary operational overhead

Rising Data Transfer and Storage Costs

from inefficient data migration between storage and compute.

Your models are getting bigger.

Your pipelines don't have to get slower.

Solution: Alluxio as a Distributed Caching Layer

Alluxio Enterprise AI provides high-performance data access that intelligently manages data locality and caching across distributed environments.

Maximize GPU Utilization

Boost GPU utilization to 97%+ by eliminating data stalls. Keep your GPUs continuously fed with data

Accelerate Model Training

Deliver up to 4x training performance with significantly reduced I/O wait times, allowing your GPUs to operate at peak efficiency

Optimize Cloud Spend

Slash cloud costs and avoid redundant transfers with a software-only solution that utilizes your existing data lake storage

Why Alluxio for AI

Unlike legacy distributed file systems or general-purpose storage solutions, Alluxio is:

Caching, Not Storage

Don't replace your storage - simply add an intelligent acceleration layer

AI Native

Purpose-built for the performance patterns of modern AI workloads

Cloud and Storage Agnostic

Alluxio works across clouds, storage systems, and frameworks - hybrid and multi-cloud ready

Transparent & Developer Friendly

No code or workflow changes required, with built in support for S3 API, POSIX, and Python

Not another Lustre, Ceph, or Weka.

Alluxio AI brings caching to the core of your existing AI data pipelines.
