How modern storage can deliver a 20x AI performance boost

Legacy storage infrastructure is a major barrier to AI inference performance and cost efficiency. Research shows 70% of organizations face storage challenges hindering AI success, while 51% struggle to fully utilize GPUs due to storage limitations—raising costs across compute, networking, and power.

This report explores how modern storage architectures optimize Time to First Token (TTFT) to transform AI economics. Key insights include:

• How a 20x TTFT improvement cuts cost per token
• Why KV cache offload reduces redundant GPU computation, extending hardware life
• How RDMA for S3 boosts GPU and network use while lowering CPU overhead
