We believe data-driven organisations shouldn’t have to choose between speed, simplicity, scale, sustainability, or seamless data portability. In the cloud and AI era, these should be foundational elements to every data environment – not points of compromise. That’s why we’re building an entirely new data management approach designed to support next-generation workloads flawlessly. 

In this webinar, Mike Bloom will take us through storage workload patterns in AI /ML as observed in a production setting, different types of AI models measured on a per workload basis and individual parts of the lifecycle of AI/ML., Through these three points of view, key bottlenecks and design criteria are discussed to provide success criteria for a robust storage system for modern AI/ML applications.

Demand for cloud storage has surged due to global content production, sharing, streaming, and distribution. However, cloud adoption comes with financial and environmental costs. Access and storage costs are not always transparent or predictable while some projections suggest that new data centres alone could contribute 14% of global CO2 emissions by 2040. This session will explore innovative approaches to managing cloud storage and production that, through the shift from a capex to opex cost model and making remote and collaborative working a viable option, can unlock opportunities for smaller independent studios while limiting the industry’s carbon footprint.
