Generative models are driving AI advancements, demanding high bandwidth and low latency networks to handle more data with increasing complexity. Scaling infrastructure and adopting new technologies are essential, but choosing the right tools is key to achieving performance, efficiency, and future adaptability. For example, whilst NVLINK gives GPUs a boost, it’s the optical networks that will truly scale AI across data centers. During this episode we explore:

In an era where data is expanding at an astonishing rate, scaling storage capacity to keep pace with this growth presents a formidable challenge, particularly as the specific needs of data centers can greatly vary. Business leaders and IT professionals must adopt a strategic approach to comprehensively address their data storage needs. This episode covers several critical aspects such as:

Developments in server architecture are essential for the proliferation of artificial intelligence. However as computational demands rapidly evolve, modern operations must continue to adapt in order to leverage cutting edge compute. Ensuring flexibility by design is key, but how can this be achieved? This episode will discuss:

As AI continues to transform industries, gaining a holistic view of the forces shaping the data center market is essential to understand the end to end impact of next generation computing. Who better to provide this perspective than a person who can see above the siloes of an operation? In this episode, we are joined in conversation with Giordano Albertazzi, CEO, Vertiv to provide holistic insights into the latest AI trends, the new challenges data centers face, and Vertiv's strategic priorities in supporting AI.

In an age of scaling workloads and immense data generation, the cost of digital space and connectivity in the UK are at a premium as businesses look to grow in line with demand. New forms of compute command low latency, modern networks and reliable technologies, but building out the underlying infrastructure requires significant CapEx and OpEx. This is leading many to look at Cloud and platform based solutions to ensure they can manage workloads and data strategically. This episode will deep dive on new era of computing environments and examine:

Discover how AI is transforming industries and what it takes to stay ahead. Read the full 2024 Global AI Trends Report, based on a survey of 1,500 AI practitioners, to unlock key insights and strategies for navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape.

“45% of banks have already integrated generative AI technologies into their technology stacks, while an additional 30% are exploring its implementation.” Reimagining GenAI’s role in banking looks beyond this statistic to what’s next. The paper contends that for banking leaders to truly embrace AI, they must also understand how to balance the risks against its potential. It also discusses how AI’s role is not limited to technology, it’s about transforming the very fabric of operations and culture to unlock sustainable value and innovation for banks, their customers and their employees. From demystifying GenAI’s role in banking and navigating regulatory complexity to outlining key considerations for scaling GenAI in banking, as well as highlighting some practical AI in banking use cases, this whitepaper provides leaders with valuable insights into how to capitalise on the huge promise of AI in the banking industry.
