Enterprise Data Is 90% Unstructured: GenAI Needs Better Storage

This post introduces Backblaze B2 Overdrive as a solution for the unique storage demands of GenAI and RAG pipelines. It highlights the limitations of traditional enterprise storage, particularly tiered storage and access patterns, in handling the continuous, mixed traffic and small object generation of RAG workflows. The post details the requirements for GenAI storage: sustained high throughput, always-hot architecture with no tiering, and free data movement. Backblaze B2 Overdrive is presented as meeting these requirements with its always-hot object storage, high sustained throughput, free egress, and S3 compatibility.
