At Pure//Accelerate London 2025, Open Innovation AI showed enterprises a clear path from AI pilot to production, with a joint session led by Sean Lydon (VP, Platform, Open Innovation AI) and Yousef Mhana (Director, AI & HPC Sales and Solutions – METCA, Pure Storage).
Their talk, “Accelerate Your AI Journey: From Pilot to Production with Pure Storage & Open Innovation AI,” unpacked the operational playbook for scaling real-world AI securely and efficiently.
The Enterprise AI Reality. And What It Takes to Win
Lydon and Mhana framed the day’s challenge: great use-case ideas often stall due to fragmented tooling, scarce AI expertise, and infrastructure that can’t keep pace.
The team detailed a production-ready stack that meets enterprises where they are on-prem, cloud, or air-gapped, and standardizes on any Kubernetes distribution. Paired with Portworx data services (PX-Store, PX-Backup, PX-DR, PX-Migrate, PX-Autopilot) and Pure’s unified data plane, this foundation supports high-throughput training, low-latency inference, and effortless mobility across environments.
On top of that foundation, OIAI’s platform delivers:
GPU Cluster Management & Orchestration: advanced scheduling, resource allocation, multi-tenant isolation, and utilization optimization to cut costs without capping scale.
AI-Ops Platform: end-to-end workflows for training, fine-tuning, deployment, benchmarking, model/dataset versioning, and team-based resource controls.
AI Application Suite:
OI Agents: Build from RAG assistants to multi-agent workflows that turn your data into decisions fast, with governance and observability baked in.
OI Chat: Enterprise conversational AI you can trust: secure, policy-driven, and extensible, deployable in cloud, on-prem, or air-gapped environments.
OI Code: A developer copilot that lives inside your infrastructure for maximum IP protection, boosts productivity while keeping code and data fully under your control.
