Visit www.purestorage.com to learn more.

Please join Philip Ninan, Alliance Development Manager, AI, Pure Storage | Rajiv Mandal, AI Solutions Architect, Intel in Getting Your Data AI-Ready: Planning Considerations for Enterprise AI Models.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) applications have the potential to increase operational efficiency, improve business process responsiveness, and drive new product innovation. Realizing this potential requires enterprises to leverage massive amounts of their corporate data to train a Retrieval Augment Generation (RAG) model that combines with a Large Language Model (LLM) to fully enable a GenAI solution.  Successfully aggregating significant amounts of corporate data and then processing that data into a RAG inference models requires addressing a number of data challenges including:

• GenAI System Design: Compute Performance and availability, Energy Efficiency & Power Budget,  Storage Capacity, Performance &  Scalability
• Data Preparation: Staging Structured and Unstructured Data, Data cleansing and labeling
• RAG/Inference Pipeline Building: Document and Data Tokenizing, Embedding, Checkpointing
• Governance: Access Policies, Policy Enforcement, Backup/Recovery
• GenAI System Growth: GPU/CPU Scaling, Data Storage Scaling

Intel and Pure Storage will discuss these topics and present a range of recommendations and best practices to address these challenges and to accelerate your organization’s GenAI project deployment.

For the June Coffee Break, we’re in double-bonus territory with both Cody Hosterman, Senior Director of Product Management for Cloud and David Stamen, Enterprise Technology Strategy Director who will walk through a topic that is top of mind for almost every customer we meet—the impact of the VMware acquisition and the shifting virtualization landscape.

We realize this is a challenging topic for many, so we’ll do our best to provide candid analysis. We’ll also highlight how Pure Storage can help as we walk through:

- Virtualization Landscape: Five years ago, no one would have predicted the news of the last 24 months. We’ll discuss recent shifts both on-prem and in the public cloud—being candid without being negative.
- VMware and Pure Storage:  Whether on-prem with many integrations or in the cloud with a leading partnership with Azure VMware Solution or other areas, Pure Storage has maintained a leading position for VMware shops and a strong partnership with VMware and now Broadcom. We’ll explore the classic value plus new developments.
- Alternate Options and Pure Storage: Looking to preserve (or add) Pure Storage simplicity + Evergreen® approach while thinking about OpenStack? Kubevirt? Hyper-V? Other options? This section is for you.

As always, we’ll keep it educational while exploring how Pure Storage offers capabilities and products that benefit you. The team will stay on after the webinar to answer any questions.
 

About the Pure Storage Coffee Break Series: Each month, we invite experts in technology and business to chat about the themes driving today’s IT agenda. 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 Storage technology, our goal is to educate and entertain, rather than sell.

Unpacking the VMware Acquisition: How Pure Storage Can Help

Many firms historically have viewed regulatory compliance as both a seemingly endless burden and a hindrance to innovation. What if a byproduct of simultaneously satisfying regulations and increasing operational resilience could be creating a significant competitive advantage? What if, indeed! 

Join our experts on June 25 for an information-packed session to explore how organizations like yours can turn compliance efforts into a major competitive advantage. We’ll cover: 

Regulatory compliance, while extremely challenging, can become a formidable forcing function to foster, not stifle, innovation—both on the technical and business side.

Why improving operational resilience is not only a critical component for addressing regulatory challenges, but can simultaneously evolve how data is used and accessed across the enterprise.

Compliance as a Catalyst: Transforming Regulatory Challenges into Opportunities

The Future of Virtualization: Help Navigating Changes at VMware

Leading healthcare payers and providers are moving forward on a digital agenda that spans from omnichannel consumer services to improved patient care, and back-office analytics with AI-enhanced operations. These initiatives rely on ever-increasing amounts of data that must be protected. At the same time, digital service offerings can increase the attack surface for hackers and ransomware. What to do? 

While storage may not be the first thing you think of when considering data security, it’s both the last line of defense and a critical piece of infrastructure you’ll need to restore services. Join this webinar to learn about the three-phase approach to protection from Pure Storage.   

Before an attack: a range of built-in data protection services plus backup vendor integrations protect data. AI helps detect anomalies and assess protection levels.
During an attack: immutable data snapshots keep recovery copies secure during an attack or other data loss event. 
After an attack: rapid recovery capabilities restore services quickly. The Pure Ransomware Recovery SLA guarantees delivery of clean arrays, accelerating recovery while preserving affected systems for internal or external analysis.

Healthcare payers and providers can’t afford to have anything less than the best possible data protection. Learn how to achieve your security goals with Pure Storage.

Resisting Healthcare Ransomware: Strategies for Payers and Providers
