Key Themes:
Building AI-Ready Infrastructure
As enterprises embrace artificial intelligence and high-performance computing (HPC), they must rethink their core infrastructure to support the unique demands of AI workloads. This includes preparing for dense compute environments, increasing processing capacity, and ensuring data flows seamlessly across core, edge, and hybrid environments. The roadshow will explore how organizations can modernize existing data centers and design new ones with AI-readiness at the center.
Power and Cooling for the AI Era
AI workloads demand significantly more power and generate more heat than traditional enterprise systems. This event will address how organizations can optimize power usage, improve energy efficiency, and implement next-generation cooling solutions such as liquid and hybrid cooling. With energy availability and cost becoming critical concerns, these sessions will offer insights into building sustainable and cost-effective digital infrastructure.
Sector-Specific Innovation and Resilience
From financial services to oil & gas and telecoms, enterprises are facing data challenges unique to their sectors. Via an industry roundtable, the event will highlight real-world use cases and discuss how infrastructure decisions are being shaped by industry-specific needs. In a world where downtime is unacceptable, emphasis will also be placed on ensuring digital resilience and designing infrastructure that is secure, scalable, and always-on.
