Inference is not an all-flash problem. The vendors who positioned themselves as the inference platform built fast all-flash storage. That is a useful product. It is not a defensible inference architecture in 2026, when flash is volatile, KV-cache demands intelligent tiering, model libraries are growing into petabyte territory, and multi-tenant inference platforms must isolate hundreds of customers on the same fleet. VDURA delivers an inference architecture that uses flash for GPU performance, and HDD capacity for AI data scale, in one namespace, one control plane, one data plane.
