AI leaders are moving beyond proofs of concept and confronting a harder question: Is enterprise data ready to support production AI and autonomous agents? In this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast, Everpure GM Maciej Kranz and WWT Principal Solutions Architect Bob Watson explain why data must evolve from a stored asset into a governed, secure and continuously available intelligence layer.

AI success now depends on whether your enterprise foundation is actually ready. Recorded live at NVIDIA GTC, this episode of the AI Proving Ground Podcast features WWT AI leader Mike Trojecki and Everpure VP of AI and Analytics Kaycee Lai discussing why business outcomes, secure data access, low-latency infrastructure, governance and storage architecture are becoming the real differentiators as organizations try to operationalize AI at scale.

From the ATSM on 09-25-2026 that focused on AI, Mike Trojecki held a Fireside Chat with Everpure CEO Charlie Giancarlo. In the first part of the Chat, Charlie addressed a number of issues, including that the old model for data primacy was application-centric, now it is data primacy, that Everpure now provides software that allows customers to have one unified data foundation, the challenge of keeping data clean and secure when they are not in a single space, the uptick in Core AIs that touch GPU systems and new business segments at Everpure. Then Mike and Charlie had a Q&A on Everpure's recent investor call with analysts and how WWT worked with Everpure to pursue an opportunity at JPMC that resulted in a major win. At the end of the Chat, Jim Kavanaugh joined with comments on the Everpure and WWT partnership.

Commvault's workflow feature simplifies and automates a wide range of common tasks. The Pure Storage provided workflow for Commvault creates FlashBlade storage Object Accounts, User Accounts and Buckets while applying best practices for securing access and privileges. This short video walks you through adding the workflow along with the execution of the workflow to create a storage bucket on a FlashBlade that Commvault's Media Agents and Storage Accelerators will back up directly via the S3 protocol.

In this demo, we will show how easy and quick it is to refresh a DR instance of a SQL DB living in Azure on CBS from an on-premises Prod instance living in Equinix on a FlashArray.
