Refreshing Server and Storage for Scalable AI Infrastructure
Mar 19, 2026 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM EST
Organizations are under pressure to accelerate AI initiatives, yet many are running on server and storage environments that were never designed for GPU-intensive workloads or high-throughput AI data pipelines. As refresh cycles approach, leaders face a pivotal choice: extend existing infrastructure incrementally or modernize in a way that supports long-term AI scalability.
This executive discussion will explore how modern server and storage strategies, including GPU-rich systems, high-performance storage, and hybrid architectures, are enabling scalable enterprise AI. We will examine how edge and core environments can operate cohesively, how full-stack AI platforms reduce deployment complexity, and how infrastructure refresh decisions can be aligned with measurable AI performance and business impact.

As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.
