Fireside chat: AI Powered by Hybrid Cloud – Setting the Scene For the Future
The world of IT is changing and accelerating at an unprecedented rate powered by Cloud Infrastructure and Artificial Intelligence. AI allows companies to create seemingly magical services such as customer service chatbots, lightning fast fraud detection, accurate retail check outs and recommended services for online shopping. Most organisations doing this at scale are digital native, born in the cloud, but they are setting the standard for how end users expect to experience services today. The reason these companies are so far ahead is because AI requires complex high performance compute and software.
So how do more traditional enterprises compete? Most mainstream enterprises require a private cloud solution, they have data gravity or data adjacency challenges or keeping data transit costs low, or they are challenged by data sovereignty, ownership or privacy concerns. Equinix and Nvidia partnered together to solve for delivering AI Infrastructure with connectivity, security and proximity to every enterprise around the globe – to Democratise AI for the Enterprise using Hybrid Cloud.
Join us to hear from 2 of the most exciting technology leaders in the industry today as they discuss Why and How this partnership is helping organisations harness the power of AI for all enterprises; enabling you to achieve all of the possibilities that AI can deliver.
Zachary Smith, Managing Director, Bare Metal, Equinix
Kevin Jones, Principal Product Manager, NVIDIA
