Scality launches Scality ADI autonomous data infrastructure

Scality introduced Scality ADI, an autonomous data infrastructure platform built from Scality’s RING and ARTESCA foundations. The company said the platform is intended to support organizations that run diverse AI workloads, address cyber threats, and maintain sovereign control over data at multi-petabyte to exabyte scale.

Scality ADI combines a distributed object storage foundation with Guardian, an AI-powered engine designed to reduce administrative burden while keeping humans in the loop. The platform supports multiple storage media classes within a single namespace and uses policy-driven lifecycle management to align performance and economics to workloads.

Scality said Scality Guardian uses AI-powered agents for expansion, healing, rebalancing, upgrades, and lifecycle workflows, with a human-in-the-loop model in which humans approve and control decisions. The platform also includes MCP-enabled extensibility so organizations can integrate their own AI tools and automation workflows into ADI operations.

Scality ADI uses a software-defined, disaggregated architecture spanning NVMe SSD (TLC/QLC), HDD, tape, and cloud storage within a single namespace, with policy-driven lifecycle management defined and approved by operators. CORE5 cyber resilience is included to keep data immutable, recoverable, and auditable, along with real-time power telemetry at system, node, and workload levels. “The AI era hasn’t just changed how enterprises use data, it has exposed how badly the old storage model was broken. Scality ADI isn’t just a faster object store. It’s a new operating model that autonomously aligns the right performance, protection, and economics to every workload, at every stage of the data lifecycle. That’s what it takes to keep GPUs productive, satisfy regulators and insurers, and maintain sovereign control, all at the same time, and at exabyte scale. We are not replacing what works. We are building what comes next.” said Jérôme Lecat, CEO, Scality.
