SUMMARY:San Jose - 2026 West Coast IBM Data and AI Scale Storage New User Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Join us in San Jose for the 2026 West Coast IBM Data and AI Scale Storage New User Seminar\, a one day event focused on modern AI data infrastructure\, HPC storage\, and IBM Storage Scale. \nAs GPU environments continue to scale and LLM driven applications become more widely adopted\, organisations are increasingly facing challenges around data access\, throughput\, pipeline complexity\, and infrastructure scalability. This event is designed to help technical teams better understand how modern data platforms can support AI and HPC workloads while simplifying operations and improving performance. \nThroughout the day\, IBM specialists and industry experts will discuss practical approaches to AI data management\, scalable storage architectures\, and the integration of IBM Storage Scale within modern AI environments. \nTopics throughout the seminar will include: \n• Building modern AI and HPC data platforms\n• High performance storage for GPU accelerated environments\n• Designing global data layers across on premises\, cloud\, and edge infrastructure\n• Supporting AI training and real time inferencing workloads\n• Reducing bottlenecks in AI data pipelines\n• Simplifying access to enterprise data for LLM and RAG workflows\n• IBM Content Aware Storage capabilities\n• IBM and NVIDIA integrated AI architectures\n• Best practices for DGX and SuperPOD environments\n• Real world deployment experiences and operational guidance \nAbout IBM Storage Scale \nIBM Storage Scale is designed for data intensive workloads including HPC\, AI\, analytics\, and large scale enterprise environments. It provides high performance access to unstructured data\, a global namespace\, and the ability to scale across distributed infrastructure. \nWith Content Aware Storage\, IBM enables AI models and applications to work directly with enterprise data where it resides\, reducing data duplication\, simplifying pipelines\, and improving alignment with continuously changing information. \nWho should attend: \n• IT and infrastructure leaders supporting AI or HPC environments\n• Data architects and AI platform teams\n• Storage and systems administrators\n• Organisations exploring or scaling LLM and RAG deployments\n• Technical teams responsible for large scale data infrastructure \nWe look forward to welcoming the IBM Storage Scale community to San Jose for a day of technical discussion\, learning\, and networking.
