Tech Resources: Everything you need to get ahead

Hi {NAME}, The Register: Tech Resources - 9 June 2023 ### 12 Reasons Why Your AI Initiatives Need VAST Data for NVIDIA SuperPOD Organisations across all vertical sectors and industries now recognise the need to adopt AI – or risk falling behind. However, many businesses worry that they will struggle with the complexities of building and deploying AI solutions, and want a turnkey platform that can be supported by their own IT teams. In this webinar experts at VAST Data will show how enterprise levels of resilience, efficiency, and simplicity are transformative capabilities that unleash NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD to ensure that enterprises derive maximum return on their AI investments. VAST Data’s Jeff Denworth, Co-Founder & CMO, and Jan Hiechler, International Alliances Lead, join The Register’s James Hayes on June 8th to reveal the compelling reasons why a purpose-built AI data platform is key to success for enterprises leveraging AI. During the discussion they will explain how a scalable SuperPOD solution can accelerate your AI journey, and seamlessly integrate AI into your business operations – as well as highlight some of the pitfalls that can hinder enterprise AI adoption. You will discover how to: Simplify and streamline operations as AI becomes increasingly integral to your business strategy Discover how running enterprise AI at scale is achievable, deliverable and within the capabilities of your current IT team skills Exploit the extensive power of VAST Data Platform and NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD for transformative AI capabilities Overcome routine stumbling blocks that can limit the potential of enterprise AI View Now ### Delivering Generative AI in 2023 This year, more enterprises than ever will race to infuse their business with generative AI to enhance customer interactions, improve data discovery and streamline operations. Ensuring that IT estates are purpose-fit is a major challenge. Getting there requires advanced infrastructure that integrates high-performance storage and accelerated computing that can rapidly deliver insights from oceans of data. That’s where NAS solutions from VAST Data combined with accelerated computing from NVIDIA leads the way. The rapid increase in generative AI and HPC use-cases across industries and sectors is compelling IT leaders to provision and scale high-performance infrastructure that’s designed to support AI-powered business initiatives. Delivering the agility and scalability needed for this new wave of highly challenging Machine Learning/Deep Learning application workloads calls for optimal specifications throughout the enterprise IT estate – and performance-optimised data storage systems and large scale computing infrastructure are key to successful implementations. For this reason, VAST Data has collaborated closely with NVIDIA to achieve the NVIDIA DGX SuperPOD certification. Together, the market leaders have developed a solution capable of virtually limitless levels of scale and performance that’s also simple and resilient in operation. Working together they can help any enterprise to set-up GPU-powered platforms – computing, networking and storage – that easily enables AI-ready clouds wherever they’re needed. The Register’s James Hayes is joined by VAST Data’s John Mao, VP, Global Business Development, and NVIDIA’s Tony Paikeday, Senior Director of Product Marketing, Artificial Intelligence Systems, for an interactive discussion on the key issues facing enterprises leveraging AI now and into the future. You will discover: * How VAST Data and NVIDIA are helping companies prepare for, and tap into the power of generative AI * The key IT infrastructure challenges faced as businesses race to prototype and deploy AI-powered apps into their business models * How VAST Data and NVIDIA can take the guesswork out of your journey to AI solutions with validated DGX SuperPOD architectures View Now ### Improve your innovation in hybrid environments If your IT world is hybrid - a mix of new and old applications, diverse infrastructure, and varied processes - you may be wondering how to simplify so you can innovate faster and more efficiently. Starting with the right operating system is the first step to ensuring you have the foundation for success, regardless of where your business needs to go. Linux has over time become the de facto choice of developers and IT departments around the world. But organisations often find themselves working to understand the value of paying for “enterprise” distributions instead of using non-paid alternatives with self support. This common debate is especially relevant as the end of life of CentOS Linux 7 approaches in June 2024. In our latest Regcast Red Hat’s Angie Li is talking to the Reg’s Tim Phillips about: * The need to simplify in a hybrid world * The path from non-paid to Enterprise distributions * Approaches for simplifying your transition Speaker: Angie Li - RHEL, EMEA Business Owner View Now ### Hybrid Cloud Necessitates A Single Automation Management Framework Just because you move workloads to a cloud doesn’t mean you have to be locked into that cloud’s management framework. And just because you run applications in your own datacenter does not mean that you can’t have the kind of automation that the big clouds have built for their customers so they can better manage infrastructure at scale. With Red Hat’s Ansible Automation Platform running on Amazon Web Services, you can have the best of both worlds – and in fact span those two worlds – with a single management and automation framework. And without losing any of the richness and breadth of the services on AWS or limiting the services that can be deployed on premises. Please join your host, Timothy Prickett Morgan of The Next Platform, and Hicham Mourad, Ansible Automation Platform product and technical marketing manager at Red Hat, and Nicolas Lowman, senior partner solutions architect for Red Hat software at Amazon Web Services, for a discussion of the features and benefits of Ansible on AWS and a demo to see for yourself how automation reduces the time and complexity of infrastructure and application deployment – and gives it programmatic consistency. With Ansible on AWS, you can: * Manage your AWS environment like a fleet of services instead of like a disparate herd of siloed virtual servers. * Accelerate the speed of infrastructure deployment from multiple days down to minutes like NASA has done. * Cut costs and address skills gaps in setting up infrastructure.

Attendees will be taken through the customer’s journey with Semarchy and discuss initial problems and needs, implementation, outcomes, technical and business recommendations, and future projects. In this webinar, Brown-Forman, a leading manufacturing company of brand such as Jack Daniel's, Old Forester, Woodford Reserve, Diplimatico Rum, and more which was founded in 1850, will discuss its unique use case and how Semarchy thought outside of the box to help solve its challenges. They will highlight how matching and merging data clusters led to improved product data which led to better insights. Brown-Forman had extensive third-party data where every data source had different definitions for thousands of products in different locations all over the world. (The organization had over 4,000 master records in the Jack Daniels cluster alone!) The data included Brown-Forman products, but also competitive ones as well. This led to siloed, incomplete, and inaccurate data, therefore BF was in need of migrating vast amounts of data into one single source of truth for better insights and competitive knowledge. Hear from Mike Homer, Senior Manager of Master Data Management, as he discusses: * Brown-Forman’s complex data ecosystem * The challenges that led the company to Master Data Management * The technical strategy that went beyond data matching rules * How the project is helping Brown-Forman today and into the future Signup Now ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This email was sent to {EMAIL} You can update your preferences here: or unsubscribe from this list: Situation Publishing Ltd, 315 Montgomery Street, 9th & 10th Floors, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA The Register and its contents are Copyright © 2023 Situation Publishing.
