Portworx Inc.

Supermicro Computer Inc. announced the launch of Kubernetes Edge AI appliances in collaboration with Red Hat and Everpure.

Supermicro has validated a full-stack Edge Kubernetes solution powered by the industry's leading Kubernetes-driven hybrid cloud application platform, Red Hat OpenShift, and the first Kubernetes data management platform tailored for AI workloads from Portworx by Everpure.

This turnkey appliance, complete with preloaded software and hardware, is made available to customers through Supermicro.

These key announcements illustrate how the AI landscape is evolving beyond individual breakthroughs toward integrated platforms capable of supporting increasingly sophisticated workloads and autonomous systems.

It's where do I kind of start to look at the data? And am I looking down or looking up, if you want? Of course, they're going to merge in the middle, and we're going to have integrations around these two.

And if I may, I could actually draw some parallels to the Portworx acquisition and bringing that online.

Because while we certainly think that EverPure is the best place for your data to live, and we hope all of your data lives, on Everpeer Solutions, we understand that the reality is, you know, customers are using other data providers, other cloud providers, and that's not always the case.

But to have a comprehensive view of your environment, you really need to have a universal data intelligence, right? So with, I'm reiterating a little bit, but with application intelligence, we're taking our very deep knowledge of the data that's sitting on Everpure to provide that intelligence.

It was knowing, you know, what is your data? Where is it? What's a PII? Did somebody take medical records and make a PDF and email them out? And you don't know that that's happened and how do you find that? And so I think that goes part and parcel with, yes, we're going to do all these great things to do AI ready and you can't do AI properly if you don't know where everything is.

And, you know, to be clear on what you said, JD, we are able to look at third party, you know, not things not on ever pure arrays.

We can also be in the cloud, take a look at just like Portworx can be on anything else and separate from that.

And OK, sorry.
