Making Unstructured Data AI-Ready for HPC

Presented By David Cerf / Herbert Grau,
Grau Data

Unstructured data is a vast and growing puzzle, especially for high-performance computing (HPC) environments in data-intensive fields like research, life sciences, and manufacturing. With over 90% of enterprise data unstructured, organizations struggle to tap its full value, often using less than 10% effectively. Imagine attempting to solve a jigsaw puzzle with only a few scattered pieces and no image to guide you—insights remain out of reach. In this talk, we'll explore strategies for making unstructured data AI-ready for HPC. We'll discuss methods for organizing, enriching, and contextualizing data so that all the pieces—and the complete picture—emerge. By adopting best practices in data architecture, metadata management, and contextualization, your organization can unlock the true potential of its unstructured data and gain transformative insights.

How Powerful is Your Data?

Presented By Matt Starr,
Spectra Logic

In an era where data volumes are skyrocketing, the power consumption of storage systems has become a critical factor for data-intensive organizations. Storing and managing a petabyte of data is no small feat, but it’s also no small cost—both financially and environmentally. Different storage media, from HDDs and SSDs to tape and cloud storage, come with varying power demands, directly impacting your data center’s sustainability and budget.

This talk will explore the energy costs associated with common storage mediums and break down how much power it truly takes to store a petabyte. We’ll examine strategies for reducing energy consumption and cutting costs, including storage tiering, data deduplication, and efficient data lifecycle management. By adopting these practices, you can create a more sustainable data center that balances performance with responsible energy use—future-proofing your storage infrastructure and reducing your environmental footprint.

How Secure is Your Data? Safeguarding High-Value Repositories in an Era of Exponential Growth

Presented By Jason Lohrey,
Arcitecta

In today’s world of high-performance computing, data repositories are expanding from tens to hundreds of petabytes, often containing some of the most critical and valuable information an organisation possesses. But as we consolidate more data in fewer, larger storage systems, the risks associated with data security—especially theft of intellectual property—grow exponentially. This talk will delve into the crucial questions: How secure is your data? How are you protecting your IP?

Jason Lohrey, Founder and CTO of Arcitecta, is here to explore these pressing issues. With decades of experience in data management, Jason has a deep understanding of the challenges and solutions in today’s data landscape. His insights will guide us through the nuances of data security and the essential strategies for ensuring your repositories are safeguarded.
