In this episode, he explains why the AI boom has fundamentally altered the economics of infrastructure, forcing organizations to rethink long-term planning, data management, and security. The conversation explores why modern storage has evolved into an intelligent data platform, how enterprises can prepare their data for AI without massive forklift upgrades, and why governance and access controls must become native parts of the infrastructure itself."}
