As data and digital transformation initiatives continue to evolve, the need for storage continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Join ZK Research's Zeus Kerravala as he talks with WWT's Jeff Fonke and Brian Bartell at Pure Storage Accelerate about what's driving this trend and how you can work toward choosing a storage solution that will manage exponential data growth; deliver optimal performance to the end-user; and secure your data and enhance cyber recovery.

Evolving data center, cloud and compute strategies are creating tremendous complexity within enterprise IT environments, and forcing leaders to rethink architectures that drive growth, unlock value and scale. Join ZK Research Founder Zeus Kerravala as he speaks with experts from Cisco, Intel and WWT as they discuss the shifting landscape of data centers and the cloud, highlighting the challenges and opportunities faced by businesses today. Topics also include the dynamic decision-making process involved in workload placement and the need for a tailored approach that addresses specific business requirements.

As organizations continue to invest heavily in cloud, what is the role of private data centers and on-prem infrastructure? What's the right balance of workloads in the cloud vs on-prem? And how will these strategies affect sustainability initiatives? Join ZK Research Founder Zeus Kerravala as he speaks with Alan Ashby, Senior Director of Data Center Solution Sales for Dell; Robert Looney, Intel's Data Center Americas Sales Director; and WWT Principal Architect Matt Halcomb about lessons learned from Dell Technologies World and how they can be applied to your business moving forward.

High performance computing (HPC) systems have empowered researchers at higher ed institutions to investigate and tackle some of the world's most complex problems for decades. Researchers have turned to artificial intelligence (AI) hardware and software solutions to advance their initiatives for similar duration. In the past, HPC and AI may have coexisted in the same lab, but did not easily integrate with one another. In the past few years, that's changed as these technologies have intersected creating an opportunity for converged HPC/AI platforms where the whole most definitely exceeds the sum of the parts. The result gives researchers access to unparalleled high-performance and acceleration from edge to cloud at every scale, changing the type and amount of science they can accomplish. Today we'll look at converged HPC/AI platforms, why they're critical to the ongoing success of higher ed institutions' research and future grant acquisition, and what to look for in a platform.
