Learn What it Takes to Power AI at AI Infrastructure Field Day 2

We're still in the early days of ai, particularly in the enterprise AI infrastructure. Field Day is back again to delve into the reality of preparing for AI enabled applications. We'll be in Santa Clara from April the 22nd to April the 25th, so you can catch all of the action as it happens on LinkedIn as well as on Textron tv.

We'll kick off with a full day at Google on Wednesday the 22nd to understand the AI hyper computer, the supercomputing system underneath every workload on the Google Cloud. Google's been in AI for a long time and has great tools around GPU and TPU acceleration, plus an AI data pipeline with storage intelligence for high performance storage and management at scale. As you're deploying these applications on the Google Kubernetes engine the morning of Wednesday, the 23rd will be Juniper.

With self-optimizing ethernet fabrics dynamically adapt to congestion and data center. Fabric management assurance simplify the entire life cycle from design to deployment to ongoing operations. Big focus for the ongoing operations network keeps your AI training and inference starter centers running securely and at peak efficiency.

Wednesday afternoon brings Soddy with the unsung hero of AI infrastructure. Soddy will emphasize the importance of high quality training data and the AI data pipeline, including stages like data ingestion, preparation, model development, inference, and archiving. We'll see soddy advantage and their portfolio of offerings from high capacity SSDs to the latest liquid cooling SSDs.

That's liquid cooling's a big thing these days in AI data centers. Pfizer will start strong on Thursday 24th, putting onsite LLM training and inference within budget, reach for small to medium businesses, state and local government and universities, and putting AI to work for them, leveraging their own data using Fons AI Adaptive Plus. We then discover how Fon Paska SSDs are powering the future of data intensive applications through innovation and enterprise SSDs.

After lunch on Thursday, Netra will share their collaboration with NVIDIA and how they help GPU based AI infrastructure operators to automate the management of ethernet and Infini band networks with multi-tenancy and isolation and a lot of the VPC cloud constructs that we expect with internet gateways and load balances in the platform. They enable AI and GPU cloud providers right throughout the world. Finishing out our Thursday will be Nutanix offering LLM choice, in particular on-premises LLM choice, allowing us to retain model flexibility for gen AI applications and facilitate experimentation, which is important with the fast rate of change of AI models, but still retain predictable, transparent costs with that on-prem analysis.

Inferencing and no uncertainty from cloud costs. The private inferencing approach also meets enterprise needs and is consistent with enterprise wide policies. Day four, Friday morning, the 25th of April, a VZ will show how a vis one enables networks for AI across both Sonic and Cumulus operating systems and running on a variety of hardware, including Nvidia Spectrum X switches.

There'll be demos and reference architectures including a Nvidia one plus open automated and intelligent networking for AI infrastructure. We round out with Keysight on Friday morning testing. Frontend and backend networks in AI data centers is crucial for optimizing and securing low latency data flow.

Keysight will discuss validating frontend networks, building trust at scale, and maximizing backend performance, plus demonstrating AI fabric testing methodologies. We are really happy to have Brian Martin, guy Courier, Mitch Ashley and Kimberly Bates are the Futurum group joining to add their insights and ask the tough questions. Of course, our delegates always ask the tough questions and make sure we understand what is really going on.

Join us on LinkedIn and Textron TV starting 8:00 AM on Tuesday the 22nd of April, right through until Friday the 25th. Of course, we'll be across all of your favorite social media and quite a few social media. You may not favor quite as much as you used to, but we'll still be there because some of us still like the old school.

Check out. The hashtag hashtag is AI FD two, and we'll be using that across all of the media. So join us.

I'm gonna have a great time next week at AI Infrastructure Field, day two. I'm sure you will if you come and join us online as well.
