<p>AI applications have unique requirements for server infrastructure, so a new platform is required. This episode of Utilizing Tech features <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-klarzynski-b321223/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Mark Klarzynski</a> of <a href="https://peakaio.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">PEAK:AIO</a> discussing their AI-specific software-defined storage platform with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniecewnorowski/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeniece Wnorowski</a> of <a href="https://solidigm.com/ai" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Solidigm</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniecewnorowski/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stephen Foskett</a>. With a background in enterprise storage, the <a href="https://peakaio.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">PEAK:AIO</a> team evaluated the needs of AI users with a goal of delivering a simple and integrated solution that could scale to support the most demanding applications. The company began working in healthcare to support distributed applications before finding similar use cases in research and manufacturing. Rather than focusing on advancing technology and then finding a use case, Mark advocates focusing on the needs and possibilities and bringing technology to solve these problems. Edge servers are constrained in terms of power, cooling, and cost, and this requires new thinking, as well as new software and hardware approaches, to continue to progress.</p><p>Guest: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-klarzynski-b321223/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Mark Klarzynski</a>, Cofounder and Chief Strategy Officer at <a href="https://peakaio.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">PEAK:AIO</a></p><p>Hosts: </p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniecewnorowski/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stephen Foskett</a>, President of the Tech Field Day Business Unit and Organizer of the <a href="https://techfieldday.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tech Field Day Event Series</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniecewnorowski/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeniece Wnorowski</a>, Head of Influencer Marketing at <a href="https://solidigm.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidigm</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottshadley/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Scott Shadley</a>, Leadership Narrative Director and Evangelist at <a href="https://solidigm.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidigm</a></p><p>Follow Tech Field Day <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/tech-field-day/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on LinkedIn</a>, <a href="https://x.com/TechFieldDay" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on X/Twitter,</a> <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/techfieldday.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on Bluesky</a>, and <a href="https://techfieldday.net/explore" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on Mastodon</a>.

<p>Much of the conversation on AI is focused on power consumption and chatbots, but there are so many other positive applications for the technology. This episode of Utilizing Tech, sponsored by <a href="https://solidigm.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Solidigm</a>, welcomes <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/keith-bradley-76105049/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Keith Bradley</a>, VP of IT at <a href="https://naturefreshfarms.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Nature Fresh Farms</a>, discussing with <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniecewnorowski/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stephen Foskett</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniecewnorowski/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeniece Wnorowski</a> how they use AI to improve crop yields and plant performance. Farming has traditionally evaluated crop performance on a large-scale basis, but AI enables Nature Fresh Farms to much more carefully tailor care to the needs of the plants. Once a tomato or pepper has been grown, Nature Fresh can use AI to classify, package, and store produce for sale. This requires a great deal of storage for active plants, and Nature Fresh Farms has standardized on solid state storage because of the incredible combination of performance and reliability it brings. It wouldn't be possible to process this much data at the edge without advanced SSDs, processors, and servers.</p><p>Guest: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/keith-bradley-76105049/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Keith Bradley</a>, Vice President of Information Technology at <a href="https://naturefreshfarms.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Nature Fresh Farms</a></p><p>Hosts: </p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniecewnorowski/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Stephen Foskett</a>, President of the Tech Field Day Business Unit and Organizer of the <a href="https://techfieldday.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tech Field Day Event Series</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniecewnorowski/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Jeniece Wnorowski</a>, Head of Influencer Marketing at <a href="https://solidigm.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidigm</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottshadley/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Scott Shadley</a>, Leadership Narrative Director and Evangelist at <a href="https://solidigm.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Solidigm</a></p><p>Follow Tech Field Day <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/tech-field-day/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on LinkedIn</a>, <a href="https://x.com/TechFieldDay" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on X/Twitter,</a> <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/techfieldday.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on Bluesky</a>, and <a href="https://techfieldday.net/explore" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">on Mastodon</a>.

<p>As the use of AI spreads outside the cloud and datacenter, data management and protection has never been more important. This episode of <a href="https://utilizingtech.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Utilizing Tech</a>, sponsored by <a href="https://solidigm.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Solidigm</a>, features <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickvanover/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Rick Vanover</a> of <a href="https://www.veeam.com/backup-replication-virtual-physical-cloud.html?st=adwordspaidsearch&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=01P-PMIX_NA_EN_US_Paid-Search_Trial_Branded-Core_3DC&utm_content=cid|44012733105_ntw|g_adgr|344025565396_creative|1450220068745_ext|_adposition|_locph|9015367_dev|c_devm|_placement|_gclid|Cj0KCQjwkZm_BhDrARIsAAEbX1FwPH9wUdoepohmJx87xvRDnD13bQqN889AW4lx0wxxl4rs_wGNo1YaAh2JEALw_wcB_keyword|veeam_matchtype|e_trgt|_exten|_trgid|kwd-326874216154_geoloc|_ifmob|_ifpc|[PC_Tablet]_gsn|[GSearchN]_gdn|&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkZm_BhDrARIsAAEbX1FwPH9wUdoepohmJx87xvRDnD13bQqN889AW4lx0wxxl4rs_wGNo1YaAh2JEALw_wcB" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Veeam</a> discussing the importance of data protection with hosts <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniecewnorowski/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Stephen Foskett</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottshadley/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Scott Shadley</a><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniecewnorowski/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"></a>. Data protection for backup and security is familiar in the datacenter but is not always considered at the edge. But as AI and sensors push data to the edge, we have to consider how to protect and manage it. Edge AI systems combine elements of endpoint, datacenter, and cloud technologies and often have limited or intermittent connectivity, creating a differentiated platform that challenges data protection software. Mixing these capabilities to build a useful platform is the key challenge for data protection at the edge. Data protection at the edge is different, with continuity and recovery from outages and attacks more important than long-term preservation of data, and IT pros are beginning to adjust their perspectives on the requirements for these systems as well.</p><p>Guest:</p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rickvanover/">Rick Vanover</a>, Vice President of Product Strategy at <a href="https://www.veeam.com/backup-replication-virtual-physical-cloud.html?st=adwordspaidsearch&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=01P-PMIX_NA_EN_US_Paid-Search_Trial_Branded-Core_3DC&utm_content=cid|44012733105_ntw|g_adgr|344025565396_creative|1450220068745_ext|_adposition|_locph|9015367_dev|c_devm|_placement|_gclid|Cj0KCQjwkZm_BhDrARIsAAEbX1FwPH9wUdoepohmJx87xvRDnD13bQqN889AW4lx0wxxl4rs_wGNo1YaAh2JEALw_wcB_keyword|veeam_matchtype|e_trgt|_exten|_trgid|kwd-326874216154_geoloc|_ifmob|_ifpc|[PC_Tablet]_gsn|[GSearchN]_gdn|&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkZm_BhDrARIsAAEbX1FwPH9wUdoepohmJx87xvRDnD13bQqN889AW4lx0wxxl4rs_wGNo1YaAh2JEALw_wcB">Veeam</a></p><p>Hosts: </p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeniecewnorowski/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Stephen Foskett</a>, President of the Tech Field Day Business Unit and Organizer of the <a href="https://techfieldday.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Tech Field Day Event Series</a></p><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottshadley/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Scott Shadley</a>, Leadership Narrative Director and Evangelist at <a href="https://solidigm.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Solidigm</a></p><p>Follow Tech Field Day <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/tech-field-day/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">on LinkedIn</a>, <a href="https://x.com/TechFieldDay" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">on X/Twitter,</a> <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/techfieldday.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">on Bluesky</a>, and <a href="https://techfieldday.net/explore" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">on Mastodon</a>.
