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

Embracing AI: The Automotive Revolution That’s Happening Now

In today’s digital landscape, cyber resilience is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. As cyberattacks like ransomware become the top cause of data outages, organizations are facing costly downtime, damaged reputations, and potential compliance penalties. To combat these threats, security and IT operations teams must collaborate effectively to ensure that data is protected and recovery processes are reliable.

Join Henry Baltazar, research director of the 451 Research Storage channel within S&P Global Market Intelligence, as he explores key findings from his recent report on achieving cyber resilience through successful collaboration. 

In this discussion, you will learn:

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.
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.

Eco-wars: Pure Awakens - Sustainability, Power, and Storage Efficiency Unite!

Data often gets trapped in complex infrastructures and scattered silos, ranging from data warehouses and data lakes to disparate storage systems. While each silo serves its original purpose well, they become obstacles for AI models and remain inaccessible to AI clusters. 

In this fast-paced, demo-rich talk, we’ll explore how to break down these silos, unify data, and speed up data pipelines, for faster time to science and faster AI results.

Join us as our experts discuss:
·        Unified ingestion of data for faster AI results
·        CPU vs. GPU pipeline processing comparison
·        Optimized commands for parallel processing

Data Preparation Strategies for Accelerated AI Pipelines

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’.

While we’ll wander into Pure technology, our goal is to educate and entertain rather than sell.

This month, host Andrew Miller invites SQL DBA and Microsoft MVP Anthony Nocentino (Principal Field Solutions Architect at Pure Storage) to the virtual break room for the second time!

We’ll cover:
- History & Career - what led a DBA to join Pure Storage and some history around the database landscape (goes back to Calculus).
- Core Principles - going deep on some of Pure’s core architecture (snapshots, key/value store, etc.) and how it still matters to DBA’s.
- Cloud - digging into Pure’s expanded partnership with Microsoft Azure & the impact for databases and DBA’s.
- What’s New! - It’s a grab bag - new goodness with SAP, Oracle, and more.
As always, we’ll keep it educational while exploring how Pure is offering capabilities and products that benefit you. The team will stay on after the webinar answering any questions for those that want to stay longer!

The Odd Couple: Why a DBA Joined a (Pure) Storage Company

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 the 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.
