Storage Industry Bets Big On AI - But Where Are The Killer Apps?

The storage industry is making across-the-board investments to support generative AI workloads, but where are the must-have apps or supplier moats to sustain this investment?
From vector database startups such as Pinecone and Weaviate, to RAG pipeline developers such as Komprise, to fast GPU data delivery from virtually all storage suppliers, it looks as if the entire storage industry has mobilized to support AI workloads, use GenAI models to manage storage better, and feed protected data to RAG LLMs for better response generation.
Apart from its new and niche role as a storage management tool, GenAI workloads are just another storage workload.
