Event Overview

Generative AI initiatives are taking flight across the world as organizations of all kinds explore new and innovative ways to put the disruptive technology to use. But has anyone stopped to think if their IT infrastructure is ready to meet the intense data demands required of advanced AI solutions? Join Derrick Monahan, WWT’s data strategy and high-performance architecture practice manager, as he talks about the vital nature of high-performance architecture — the merger of high-performance computing (HPC) and AI and machine learning (ML) workstreams into one architectural framework with the core IT infrastructure components needed to unlock the seemingly unlimited world of possibilities made possible by AI. Derrick also talks about the role of data and data governance, real world use cases being used in today’s business landscape and ways you can put all of it into action.
