1. Can legacy IT infrastructures handle the AI needs of automakers?

The automotive industry is increasingly driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and analytics. From the car to the factory to the dealership, rapid data analysis is driving change and revenue-generating use cases. But older IT infrastructures are not built to handle the data deluge. The size and complexity of data are overwhelming old architectures, and the speed just isn’t there.

2. Are automakers at risk from ransomware attacks?

Security firm Sophos reported that 36% of manufacturers were hit with a ransomware attack in the previous year. The pace of attacks is increasing. It is clear that all industries need to harden their infrastructures and develop clear response procedures to ransomware attacks.

3. Can Pure Storage help automakers run modern data services on Google Kubernetes Engine?

Yes. Portworx can be used by Google Cloud’s Anthos customers running in Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and GKE on-prem. Portworx enables Google customers to solve several hard problems preventing wider adoption of Kubernetes within their organisation.

First, Portworx handles persistence, high availability, auto-scaling, and other requirements for running mission-critical data services in containers. Second, when running applications in multiple environments, such as GKE and GKE On-Prem, Portworx lets you move data securely between environments for backup and recovery, capacity planning, and maintenance. Finally, Portworx enables enterprises to embrace agility from cloud-native technologies without sacrificing security by providing capabilities like container-granular data encryption and role-based access controls.
