## AI overview

Backblaze and WEKA validated a two-tier AI storage pipeline that uses WEKA NeuralMesh as the high-performance tier for GPU workloads and Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage as the capacity tier. Raw data, training sets, media, source files, checkpoints, and other assets can move between the tiers according to access needs. NeuralMesh's Snap-to-Object feature was also tested with B2 for storing consistent filesystem snapshots and supporting recovery.

## Source excerpt

Backblaze and WEKA have validated their two platforms together for AI pipelines, pairing WEKA NeuralMesh as the performance tier that feeds GPUs with Backblaze B2 Cloud Storage as the capacity tier that holds everything else. The integration, sizing, tuning, and testing are already done, so an AI infrastructure team can deploy a proven two-tier layout The post Backblaze B2 and WEKA NeuralMesh Validated as a Two-Tier AI Storage Pipeline, With Snap-to-Object Checkpoints in B2 appeared first on StorageReview.com.
