Just in time for #Climateweek2024! Thank you to the The New York Times for spending some time with me and Pure Storage to discuss how the global hunger for #AI is driving a need for new ways of recording, storing and managing data. It is all going to come down to #efficiency and using better science to solve hard problems. "As the leaders of business in this new era, we have a responsibility to build A.I. in a way that is sustainable, responsible and scalable to support our future." #ESG #DataPlatform https://lnkd.in/gBBZ3Q7p

Great article! #Databricks in October agreed to use Trainium as part of a broad agreement with AWS. Amazon worked towards replacing servers and networks to their own gear for their data centers. Preapring to build their own AI chips for their data centers again can put them in race with #Nvidia.

Sharing here the 3rd and final episode of the podcast (and accompanying write up) that Robert Lutton and I had the opportunity to do on navigating data transformation journeys. In this installment, we discuss the notion of adopting and practicing a "Progression over Perfection" approach to navigating the multi-dimensional change management facets of data journeys. Hope you find it useful!

“All hyperscalers report that cloud optimization—i.e., reducing cloud spend—is slowing down.” Well, that’s hardly surprising! Once you’ve optimized your hyperscaler #cloud environment using hyperscaler-focused #FinOps tools, the next logical step to maximize the value of your cloud investment is adopting a #multicloud approach. But organizations struggle with the complexity of managing various providers and environments. Benefit in 2025 from the emma | Cloud Management Platform and take the pain out of multi-cloud management.

It was an honor to lead an insightful discussion on the future of edge AI at VMware Explore Las Vegas, joined by a stellar lineup of experts: Lu Zhang, John Pieratt, Ed Fox, and Bill Chang. We talked about the critical role that edge AI plays in decentralizing AI workloads, allowing enterprises to optimize their operations in real time, far beyond the data center. From the retail industry generating massive data at distributed locations to telecoms refining how networks handle AI applications, we are witnessing an unprecedented transformation. Edge AI is now making it possible to train models once and deploy them many times at the edge. As Lu Zhang highlighted, this is not just about better technology—it's about timing, making AI accessible and affordable for industries that need to adapt fast.
