Comments
Panzura finally took advantage of its presence at the Strata conference in San Francisco, CA last week to announce a new iteration of Vizion.AI, its independent AI solution and at the same time a business unit of the enterprise.
We met Patrick Harr, CEO of Panzura, at the event and discussed with him about this new development following the announcement in fall 2018. He confirmed that Panzura targets agnostic IT models as the company supports multi cloud, multi sites, multi file servers and multi protocols. In other words, AWS, GCP, Azure and on-premises are supported, the company is present in the market place of these three providers, of course multi-enterprise data centers, company’s file servers but also plenty of market ones and finally NFS and SMB for the front-end and even S3 for the back-end.
Beyond the first version of Vizion.AI, run as SaaS service on AWS, offering data search for unstructured data based on metadata indexing. Harr insisted on the company goal to offer a new platform to run more comprehensive data services extending today with an on-demand flavor of Elastic Search. In fact, the idea is to provide an efficient right-sizing approach vs. over-provisioning with lack of cost control with some competition offering. We also understand that this second Vizion.AI means that Elastic Search is the service used to index metadata unveiled end of 2018.
We should see a content indexing flavor in the future, TensorFlow and Apache PredictionIO integration as well.
About the strategy, Vizion.AI is maintained as a business unit, led by Geoff Tudor, to invite other vendors, storage or not, to integrate the service and leverage various functions.
