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. 

As workloads and datasets continue to grow rapidly, organizations face increasing pressure to scale their infrastructure while maintaining flexibility and efficiency. From handling massive amounts of data to managing evolving environments, businesses striving for AI at scale face a unique set of obstacles.

Key to this is understanding that scaling AI is more complex than simply increasing computational power. A successful approach requires a holistic view, encompassing data management, model development, infrastructure optimization, and the agility to adapt to rapidly evolving AI technologies.

In this VB Spotlight, get essential insights from industry leaders on navigating these complexities and future-proofing your AI environment, including:

- The essential considerations when scaling AI capabilities
- The impact of data bottlenecks on AI performance
- How vendor lock-ins and closed environments slow down innovation
- How leading organizations are preparing for the next wave of AI growth
- Why a modern, flexible data platform is critical for overcoming these barriers

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.
