Storage in the AI Era: Performance & Protection
AI is fundamentally reshaping enterprise storage environments. From AI/ML workloads that place unprecedented demands on performance and scalability, to automation that accelerates configuration change, today’s storage leaders are operating in a far more dynamic – and far less forgiving – environment than ever before.
At the same time, storage and backup systems have become primary targets for ransomware and destructive attacks, placing security back on the agenda.
Storage in the AI Era: Performance & Protection is breakfast event designed for infrastructure and storage leaders.
The breakfast event will focus on how organizations are modernizing storage strategies to support AI‑driven workloads, while ensuring these systems remain secure under real‑world attack scenarios.
The discussion will explore how performance & protection have become inseparable – where configuration discipline, continuous validation, and system hardening are now as critical as throughput and availability. Participants will share practical experiences on designing AI‑ready storage architectures, protecting last‑line‑of‑defense systems, and proving compliance before an incident puts those assumptions to the test.
Guest Speaker:
- Raman Chidirala, Former Head of Storage at Intercontinental Exchange (ICE)
