Along the way, they explore the rise and fall of Hadoop, the resilience of SQL, and practical strategies for warehouse modernization.

Next, Nate Castillo of HPE shares his perspective on how modern infrastructure choices can help enterprises optimize for flexibility, control, and long-term scalability.

In the final segment, Tim Alexander of Yellowbrick Data unpacks the intersection of large language models and SQL warehouses, revealing how AI is reshaping the analytics landscape and opening new possibilities for enterprises that want to maximize both scale and intelligence.
