AI is transforming enterprises — but are businesses actually using it effectively? In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, experts Jon Duren and Jay Custard explore the real challenges of enterprise AI adoption — from underutilized AI tools and shadow AI risks to the struggle of proving AI's ROI.

Massive investments in IT infrastructure will be needed for the DoD to effectively leverage AI, advanced cybersecurity measures and cloud adoption — all critical to mission readiness. However, these investments must consider talent shortages, technical debt and other operational challenges. Join WWT experts Chris Morgenstern, DoD Consulting Solutions Architect, and Tim Robinson, DoD Principal Solutions Architect, as they discuss modernizing DoD infrastructure in the face of change.

Visibility across IT/OT environments, including data visibility and the ability to improve digital experiences, remains a top challenge for manufacturers. Join WWT Senior Manufacturing Advisor Tim Householder as he talks about how aligning IT design to OT needs can help bridge the gap between IT and OT to help produce higher quality products, make more data driven decisions and drive a better end user experience. Tim also details industry trends in the near- and long-term, discusses ways leaders can maximize security and how to advance automation initiatives.

Asset x360 is one of WWT's key Automation solutions. Alex Schoen reviews how Asset x360 works and the benefits it provides to customers.

In this session, Stuart Kirk, Principal Solutions Architect, Red Hat, presented on how to utilize Ansible Automation Platform (AAP) to automate the migration of virtual machines to OpenShift Virtualization, bringing all the benefits Ansible provides: speed, scale, and consistency.

As federal civilian agencies grapple with the rapid pace of technological change, modernizing their data center infrastructure has become a critical priority. However, agencies face unique challenges, from budget constraints and staffing shortages to legacy vendor lock-in and the need to balance on-premises and cloud-based resources. In this episode of WWT Experts, Federal Civilian Area Vice President Kevin Pearson and Vice President of Cloud, Infrastructure and AI Solutions Neil Anderson discuss data center modernization strategies that federal civilian agencies can use to reduce risk, improve operational efficiency, and unlock new capabilities to better serve citizens.

The traditional IT operations workflow has always relied on a process and procedure cycle that ultimately requires manual intervention to restore production services and resolve an active incident. In this session, presented by Nick Thompson from WWT, we explored how the combination of Event-Driven Ansible, application telemetry, and a solid foundation of observability can be combined to deliver the ultimate in closed-loop automation to reduce incidents and after-hours troubleshooting.

Edge computing and AI are transforming various industries by addressing the limitations of traditional infrastructures and cloud services. Edge computing and AI together enable organizations to enhance their end-user experiences and operational performance by supporting high-speed, low-latency needs and real-time data processing. Join WWT's strategy consultant Jennifer Adefala and distinguished solutions architect Curt Stalhood as they explore the evolving landscape of edge computing and its growing synergies with AI and virtualization strategies.

As network automation continues to gain traction, many groups face the challenge of creating an automation-friendly repository for their diverse data sets. In this session, Jordan Villarreal from NetBox Labs delved into the industry-leading open-source project, NetBox, which facilitates the correlation of network deployment information across multiple domains, thus enhancing automation and data association. We illustrated these benefits using a sample dataset from a fictional company. We explored a fully documented corporate headquarters and several satellite sites, emphasizing their IPAM, DCIM, internet circuits, virtualization environments and the benefits of correlating this data. Additionally, we addressed the challenges faced when adopting open-source software and how contemporary companies are stepping up to support organizations in their needs.

Gabi Zapodeanu presented this session at Automation.Day STL 2024 where we explored how Generative AI (GenAI) is transforming network management.

Software Image Management (SWIM) is a repeatable framework where engineers can produce repeatable, safe outcomes for efficient device software upgrades. This results in a faster response to vulnerability management, more predictable maintenance schedules, and hours of an engineer's life saved in the middle of the night. In this session, Bob Longmore from World Wide Technology helped us answer the question- What if we used AAP and EDA to decouple the tasks involved in this workflow?
