Hitchhiker’s Guide to the AI Universe: A Practitioner Comes to Pure Storage

Automakers are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence (AI) to deliver new services, drive more value from their engineers, solve business problems to create tangible value, and more. In a fiercely competitive industry, those who can crack the AI code early stand to reap major advantages of faster time to value and insights.

This open discussion webinar will feature speakers from Pure Storage and NVIDIA, who will discuss what’s happening with AI for automotive. A major focus will be around software development and the shift from Autonomous Vehicles 1.0 to 2.0. This shift will entail a massive expansion in data footprints, as much as 30x or more. 

AI-enabled use cases that are top of mind among automakers include:

-Autonomous driving (AD/ADAS)
-Customer experience
-Connected vehicles
-AI-driven manufacturing

AI in the Fast Lane: Strategies for Swift Integration

When you pass in a query, how does SQL Server build the results? Let’s say Brent Ozar is an  end user sending queries, and you'll act as the SQL Server engine. Using simple spreadsheets as your tables, you'll learn how SQL Server builds execution plans, uses indexes, reads data from storage, and caches it in memory. 

This session is for DBAs and developers who are comfortable writing queries, but not as comfortable when it comes to explaining nonclustered indexes, PAGEIOLATCH waits, and physical reads. We’ill also cover the role of storage in optimizing SQL Server operations. 

In this TechTalk, you’ll:
Learn how SQL Server builds execution plans, which are critical for understanding how a query will be executed.
Gain clarity on indexes and how SQL Server reads data from storage and caches it in memory.
Explore the importance of storage in optimizing SQL Server operations, highlighting the impact of storage on query performance

For September’s Coffee Break, Andrew Miller invites industry veteran and 6+ year Puritan Don Kirouac. Don is currently the technical lead at Pure Storage for product sustainability. Along with his day job, he now dreams at night of kilowatts, supply chains, and full product life cycle analysis. Although in a previous life, he was the top ActiveCluster™ subject matter expert. In some ways, this will be a sequel to last year’s session: “Tired of Energy Savings & Efficiency Gas”-lighting? Better Science is the Answer.” That one was with Brian Gold (yes, that Brian Gold the former rocket scientist).

During this session, we’ll further into:

Don’s history across the industry and career lessons he has learned
How Pure Storage looks at sustainability and energy efficiency across our entire portfolio and why it matters to you (hint: there might be industry-wide energy shortages coming–you can thank AI)
We’ll also prove these bold claims:

Up to 85% less energy than other all flash solutions
Over 800 times improvement in data stored (terabytes) per unit of energy (Watts) consumed compared to our earliest product models
DirectFlash® modules that require 1000 times less DRAM than SSDs with industry leading performance.

·        Optimized commands for parallel processing

Data Preparation Strategies for Accelerated AI Pipelines

Many organizations are looking at how to evolve their VMware-based workloads following VMware’s acquisition by Broadcom and some of the licensing and product changes that have taken place. And although many customers will likely opt to stay with VMware, others will be looking at ways to further optimize and improve costs for their environments.

One of these options is to move VMware-based workloads to a public cloud provider. In this webcast led by Simon Robinson, Principal Analyst of TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group, you will gain expert insights into the VMware situation and how customers are thinking about their next steps. Panelists will also discuss key questions IT leaders are asking during this transition, including:

• When should you consider public cloud as an option for your VMware workloads?
• What kind of advantages can public cloud provide for customers?
• And more

Register now to find out how you can evolve and optimize your organization’s virtualization environment.

Enterprise Strategy Group: The state of virtualized infrastructure in 2024

There is a lot of hype around AI, and rightfully so. Its potential use cases across industries are profound, which is why 77% of CIOs say most of their budget will go toward AI efforts by 2027, according to recent research by Gartner. However, at the same time, only 15% have prepared their infrastructure to scale accordingly.

While all the potential benefits of AI are enticing, the desired outcomes of such an investment cannot be achieved without having the right foundation in place. In this webcast, you’ll be introduced to FlashStack – a joint solution from Pure Storage and Cisco that is designed to power AI workloads at scale while eliminating infrastructure silos and disparate operations.

Tune in now to find out how you can implement the modern infrastructure needed to overcome IT obstacles and democratize AI across your organization.

FlashStack for AI: Making AI more accessible

For the July Coffee Break, we’re exploring how the public cloud has redefined expectations for IT infrastructure, especially when it comes to data storage. As-a-service is the next frontier in on-premises data infrastructure, allowing you to focus on outcomes instead of fighting fires and making do with inflexible storage.
But not all data storage delivers on the as-a-service promise. You need a flexible, unified, and expandable architecture to meet the challenges of changing needs, cyber resilience, and optimizing costs. The Pure Storage platform delivers this future today—built from the ground up as a fully as-a-service data infrastructure for all workloads. 

We dive into what to look for when considering data infrastructure, so that you can operate like the cloud wherever your data resides.

At Your Service: Understanding the Storage-as-a-Service Landscape

For this August Coffee Break, Andrew Miller invites Principal Technologist and VCDX (VMware Certified Design Expert) Rob Quast to explore Rob’s career and why a VCDX (VMware’s top design certification and a true challenge to obtain) is working for a storage company. Yes, this might relate to our conversation in February about why a DBA (Anthony Nocentino) is here at Pure Storage.

For the rest of the time, we’ll continue the great platform discussion with Justin Emerson from May exploring:

Products vs platforms: The many definitions of “platform,” how a platform perspective has helped throughout our careers, and how it may help you.
The Pure Storage platform perspective: Thanks to years of differentiated R&D and an expanding portfolio, the Pure Storage platform is built on four key pillars: storage as a service, effortless management at any scale, simple unified infrastructure, and Evergreen® architecture (also covered in July).
Pure Fusion™: How the current release and future vision of Pure Fusion is enabling the data and storage platform we’ve long dreamed of as an industry but never before been able to realize. First-of-its-kind storage automation? A bold claim we realize…but we’ll back it up.

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.
