At NetApp Insight in Las Vegas, Gavin Moore, CTO for EMEA and Latin America, discusses NetApp's new AFX disaggregated storage platform and comprehensive AI data management strategy. Moore explains how the EU AI Act influences technology adoption, why 95% of AI projects fail due to poor data foundations, and how NetApp's unified data platform addresses these challenges.
Key topics include the AFX announcement combining massive scale-out with enterprise-grade capabilities, the data engine that brings AI to data rather than moving data to AI, and NetApp's partnership ecosystem with Cisco, Nvidia, Lenovo, and Intel. Moore also covers the importance of Keystone storage-as-a-service and how NetApp differentiates from closed ecosystem competitors through open partnerships.
