We believe data-driven organisations shouldn’t have to choose between speed, simplicity, scale, sustainability, or seamless data portability. In the cloud and AI era, these should be foundational elements to every data environment – not points of compromise. That’s why we’re building an entirely new data management approach designed to support next-generation workloads flawlessly. 

Demand for cloud storage has surged due to global content production, sharing, streaming, and distribution. However, cloud adoption comes with financial and environmental costs. Access and storage costs are not always transparent or predictable while some projections suggest that new data centres alone could contribute 14% of global CO2 emissions by 2040. This session will explore innovative approaches to managing cloud storage and production that, through the shift from a capex to opex cost model and making remote and collaborative working a viable option, can unlock opportunities for smaller independent studios while limiting the industry’s carbon footprint.

Panelists
Barbara Murphy, Vice President - Cloud Strategy - WEKA

Tom Dunning, CEO & Founder - Ad Signal

Rosie Pongracz, Chief Marketing Officer - Storj

Dom Robinson, Founder - Greening of Streaming

IBC Panel Discussion: Innovations in Cloud Storage and Production

AI/ML is rapidly transforming businesses across industries. But for many organizations, the journey to enterprise-scale AI adoption is still in its early stages. Join us for a discussion and hear about some of the findings from a new global survey from S&P Global Market Intelligence of more than 1,500 AI decision makers.

This chat will explore the latest trends in AI/ML, including:

- The shift from cost-saving to revenue-driving AI projects
- The top technical inhibitors to AI/ML adoption
- How to leverage a hybrid approach to deployment
- The impact of AI/ML on corporate sustainability
- How to build a modern data architecture for AI

How to Accelerate Your AI/ML Journey (And achieve your sustainability goals)

We're sure that you get lots of invites to virtual events, however, if running innovative AI projects at scale is your thing, our "Running Enterprise AI at Scale: Identifying & Overcoming Obstacles" fireside chat will be worth your while.

WEKA will welcome Patrick Bangert, VP of AI at Samsung SDS, who uses AI at scale to breakthroughs in technological innovation, R&D, preventive healthcare, and early detection of cancer and heart disease.

Watch on-demand and learn actionable insights to establish a sophisticated AI practice in your organisation.

This time on Clustered Conversations, our hosts Bob & Josh are joined by Omar from SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. With 1/2 an exabyte, hold onto your hats for this episode because the rollercoaster of topics are like none other before. After all, were you expecting to hear about defending the Earth and how playing soccer is a possible key to success in life alongside technical discussions? That’s right, me neither. So kick back, relax, and grab some popcorn as we dive into a sea of fun and engineering.

Actually IT IS Rocket Science [Podcast]

In this episode, our hosts Bob and Josh are joined by none other than the CEO of WEKA, Liran Zvibel. Sit back, relax, and enjoy as the three reminisce about all things storage, as well as gain a little bit of insight into WEKA's past and how the company got to where it is today.

CE-Oh My WEKA Goodness [Podcast]

Cryo-EM has emerged as a powerful tool for enabling rapid advances in drug discovery. The scale, simplicity, and economics of AWS promises to transform cryo-EM workflows even further.

However, processing and analyzing large cryo-EM datasets in AWS requires the right architecture and the right data platform.

Join this chat with Baris Guler, HPC Practice Manager at Clovertex to learn:

- How cryo-EM is impacting drug discovery and the main challenges that exist.
- Why traditional storage approaches aren’t meeting the demands of cryo-EM applications like CryoSPARC.
- How they leverage WEKA with AWS to enable faster drug discovery workflows.
- What benchmarks they have seen and recommendations you can use.

Enabling Faster Drug Discovery in the Cloud

To support its mission of being a global leader in research and innovation, the University of Surrey has long invested in state-of-the-art Computer Vision and AI research. The cutting-edge experimental platforms they use, combined with the advent of big data and AI, have increased the amount of data produced and the need to support I/O heavy workloads.

At this informal fireside chat, please join Helen Cooper, Lab Facilities Manager, from the Surrey Institute for People-Centred AI, as she shares how they are:

- Improving the experience for researchers by enabling a huge quantity of data to be accessed and processed up to 8x faster, without penalties for using small files
- Reducing their technical debt by enabling researchers to focus on the algorithms instead of the computer architecture
- Lowering their environmental impact by making more efficient use of their GPUs
- Tackling data lifecycle management challenges and eliminating the need for frequent tuning

Unleashing Faster and More Efficient AI Research with the University of Surrey

File storage is a critical component of every cloud strategy, and enterprises often prefer it over block and object storage, for big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and collaboration.

Howard Holton of GigaOm Research and Phil Curran, Cloud Strategist at WEKA discussed key criteria in evaluating file-based cloud storage solutions. Takeaways include:

- An overview of the current state of the market for cloud file systems
- Best fit use cases for cloud-based file storage
- Actionable selection criteria for your next cloud deployment

This webinar will provide the critical information you need to select the right cloud file system to ensure success in running your next-generation workloads in the cloud.
