From Pods to Petabytes: Storage in the Age of AI
Join us for an expert-led event exploring how modern infrastructure, storage, and AI-ready platforms are reshaping the way organizations manage data, applications, and cloud-native environments.
Our guest speakers from CERN, IBM, Red Hat, and InnoBoost will share practical insights and real-world use cases across the full technology stack, from Kubernetes and OpenShift to IBM Fusion, Astronomer, and watsonx. Together, they will show how content-aware technologies, hybrid cloud platforms, intelligent data services, and innovative storage architectures can help organizations modernize operations, unlock new value from data, and accelerate AI adoption.
You will hear from:
A guest speaker from the CERN Storage and Data Management group will share insights on how to evolve storage to serve scientific discovery.
Cansu Kertmen from IBM Switzerland, who will demonstrate how content-aware technologies are transforming data management and value creation.
Magali David Cruz from Red Hat Switzerland, who will present the challenges and benefits of OpenShift for cloud-native environments.
Mirza Ćutuk from InnoBoost, who will illustrate practical use cases with Astronomer, IBM Fusion, and IBM Watson.
Beat Galbier from IBM Switzerland, who will explain how to accelerate and modernize virtualized environments.
Axel Koester from IBM Germany, who will detail how IBM Fusion supports the growing demands of data and applications.
Whether you are working with containers, virtualization, hybrid cloud, or AI-driven data platforms, this event will give you a clear view of how to move from pods to petabytes with confidence.
