The GenAI LLM boom and their GPUs are consuming so much power and cooling that data centers are literally running out of power. This is a tough problem to solve. Bringing in additional power is generally extremely difficult, costly, and more often than not, unfeasible. 
Compounding this power shortage problem are the AI datasets. LLM training requires petabytes to exabytes of stored data. Organizations are keeping all of their data for the foreseeable future. Many are keeping their data on storage systems with high density HDDs or SSDs. That storage also consumes massive amounts of power and cooling resources.  Power and cooling that’s in very short supply.
It leads to several very distasteful and costly choices:
• Build a new data center with  a lot more power and cooling. 
o It may require cutting very expensive deals with the power company to even get that much additional power.
• Move the GenAI LLMs to a public cloud.
o Very high costs
o Where the data is held hostage with egress fees
• Spread out over multiple co-locations.
o Again, high costs
o Difficult management
o Much more difficult security
o Slower performance
There has to be a better way. There is.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how to reclaim massive amounts of power and cooling from storage holding all that data.
You’ll learn how Quantum’s ActiveScale Cold Storage delivers a breakthrough approach:
• Up to 99% lower power draw than object or file HDD-based systems
• Even much lower power draw than storage based on SSDs.
• And still lower CapEx and OpEx than either
• Extremely low-cost long-term storage—without the egregious cloud egress fees
• While keeping that data readily accessible for LLM training or AI-machine learning
Join us to see how you can radically reduce power consumption, reclaim budget, and build an AI-ready data foundation that scales for decades.

Join us for an informative look at the benefits media organizations are realizing establishing their own datacenters and content lakes. Many broadcasters and M&E companies want to gain the workflow efficiencies and ease of collaboration offered on the cloud but are hesitant to adopt public cloud storage. They fear loss of control over their valuable content assets and public cloud charges that frequently prove to be unpredictable.

Some M&E companies that were early public cloud adopters have even begun to repatriate their content from public cloud storage in favor of their own datacenter servers.

They are realizing the workflow benefits that cloud collaboration promises from their own storage. Many are also deploying content lakes on their own servers, eliminating unpredictable operational expense and garnering the workflow efficiencies and creative collaboration they desire, regardless of where their personnel are located.

Why You Should Repatriate Your Media and Deploy a Content Data Lake Instead

Great work happens when your creative team stays in the flow. In this webinar, you’ll see how Quantum’s end-to-end data platform is designed to accelerate collaboration, streamline workflows, and preserve your most valuable content — all built for the Ethernet era. Join us to discover how Quantum helps you manage every stage of your content lifecycle — from ingest and collaboration to protection and long-term archiving — so your team can keep creating without compromise

What You’ll Learn
• How StorNext and F-Series NVMe deliver Ethernet-first ingest and collaboration performance at scale.

M&E companies face unique cyber resiliency issues. Unfortunately, organizations frequently believe their IP creative networks are immune to attacks because they keep their back office networks separate. But there's much more to consider, particularly when content often valued in millions of dollars is at stake if a data breach is successful.

Compounding these vulnerabilities further is the adoption of multi-site workflows, whether they are organized around separate geographic locations, creative personnel working from home or on the site of a shoot or some combination of each.

Safeguarding Creative Media - Navigating Today's Data Protection Risks

As data volumes grow and threats become more sophisticated, many IT teams are discovering that yesterday's backup and recovery strategies aren't enough. Modern data protection requires a smarter, faster, and more resilient approach—one that can withstand everything from hardware failure to ransomware attacks.

This EcoCast brings together experts and solution providers to help you evaluate your current posture and explore next-generation tools designed to close gaps and boost recovery readiness. You'll learn how to assess existing capabilities, identify hidden risks, and implement solutions that improve reliability, reduce downtime, and simplify compliance.
