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.

The relationship between AI and cloud is increasingly sybmiotic. Growing investment in cloud is driving faster adoption and spend on artificial intelligence (AI), while the majority of AI applications are developed in the cloud. AI can be used to automate complex tasks in cloud computing, optimize system performance, and improve user experience; while cloud computing provides the computing resources and infrastructure needed to train and deploy AI models at scale. Join Neil Anderson, who leads WWT's cloud and infrastructure practice, as he dives into the implications AI is having on cloud, and vice versa. Neil talks with detail about how AI is affecting cloud cost management and optimization, how IT leaders can secure use of AI in their cloud solutions, how high performance architectures needed to run AI will impact cloud strategies and common AI applications best suited for the cloud.

Businesses across the world are turning to automation to drive efficiency and simplicity. But for many, automation doesn't work as quickly or seamlessly as they'd like. In most cases, that's because leaders are thinking of operations from an operations and infrastructure perspective.

Join WWT Senior Practice Manager for Automation Phillip Palmer as he discusses how automated platforms relate to other core areas of automation, such as infrastructure and operations. Phillip also talks about the teams and roles that stand to be most impacted by automation initiatives and how organizations can work toward automation unlocking a self-service model moving forward.
