Who knew that the best coffee break conversations would end up happening online? Each month, Pure’s Coffee Break series invites experts in technology and business to chat about the themes driving today’s IT agenda - much more ‘podcast’ than ‘webinar’. This is no webinar or training session—it’s a freewheeling conversation that’s as fun as it is informative and the perfect way to break up your day. While we’ll wander into Pure technology, our goal is to educate and entertain rather than sell.

This month, host Andrew Miller welcomes back Miroslav Klivansky, Global Practice Lead for AI & Analytics at Pure Storage, to walk through a topic you’ve probably not heard much about recently - Artificial Intelligence / AI. Or maybe, you’ve heard so much about it that a reality check + technical depth would be welcome - that’s our hope.

We’ll cover:

Rapidly evolving landscape - what AI meant 2 years ago and the major shifts that have led to today’s acceleration. We might even mix in some hyperscalar + industry financial commentary.
Making AI work for your business - what’s exciting about Fine Tuning, Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), and their applicability to your data, processes and business.
Pure’s Architecture that uniquely fits AI needs - training models is not for the faint of heart…or those lacking in throughput. We’ll provide an update on how the Pure Data Storage Platform for AI is enabling these trends.
Deeper Partnerships & New Solutions - let’s talk NVIDIA DGX BasePod, GPUDirect Storage, Cisco Validated Designs for GenAI and MLOps, AIRI, and OVX. Got another buzzword? We’ll likely cover it!

GenAI, RAG, Say What? Going beyond the AI Buzzwords to Business Value

In the face of rising cyber threats, organizations must reduce operational risk and prioritize robust cybersecurity.
Jason Walker dives into the transformative power of the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) in fortifying your cyber resilience.

2024 public cloud adoption continues to trend in a strong fashion, as recent Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) research shows that only 12% of mid-large enterprises are not using any form of public cloud. With a digital infrastructure operating model and cost elasticity, public cloud offers consistent benefits.

Nonetheless, organizations often face cost and performance challenges as they look to scale their public cloud deployments. In response, the industry is developing new and innovative solutions that aim to bring enterprise-class capabilities to the public cloud – one such example is Pure Storage’s Cloud Block Store for the Azure VMware Solution (AVS).

In this custom ESG webinar, Principal Analyst of Storage and HCI Simon Robinson joins Cody Hosterman from Pure Storage, Microsoft’s Husam Hilal, and Jason Massae from VMware to evaluate the current state of cloud adoption and offer guidance on navigating common challenges. 

Register today or join the discussion on March 28th at 1pm EST as the experts also spotlight the impact of the distributed hybrid cloud, the need for external hybrid storage solutions, and customer successes with Pure Cloud Block Storage.
