Summary
The first in-person NVIDIA GTC AI conference in five years takes place in San Jose, California, from March 18-21, 2024. Meet with us at booth #1529 to learn how our data platform for AI can help you accelerate model training and inference, improve operational efficiency, and more.
AI thought leaders, tech industry heavyweights, and business leaders gathered in San Jose, California, from March 18-21 for the first in-person NVIDIA GTC conference in five years. Pure Storage was both an in-person and virtual event conference sponsor at NVIDIA GTC 2024.
Our two big announcements:
We were also there to show how our data platform for AI can:
- Help you accelerate model training and inference
- Improve operational efficiency for AI/IT infrastructure teams, as well as AI/ML developers and engineers
- Deliver cost and energy efficiency as you scale
- Provide an AI storage platform that delivers ultimate reliability and is built to handle all of your future AI storage needs
Demos and an Expert Speaking Session
At the show, we had new demonstrations on how GenAI retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) can customize foundation LLM models to make their responses more timely, accurate, and relevant. We showed how Pure Storage can help AI developers with enterprise Kubernetes storage services and new AI ecosystem partner validations that fast-track your AI projects.
Our session, “Maximize AI Velocity: Accelerate Developer Efficiency with Kubernetes and NVIDIA GPU-Optimized Solutions” with Bhavin Shah, Sr. Technical Marketing Manager for Portworx at Pure Storage, shared how to simplify deploying stateful apps on Kubernetes and streamline processes with automation and self-service.
Our 3 Tips to Get the Most from NVIDIA GTC
To help focus and prioritize your GTC experience, here are my three tips to getting the most out of this event.
- Write down the top three things you want to get out of the show. Whether you’re there to learn how to apply new AI innovations for your company, solve for a gap or challenge that exists with your current plans, or make connections with like-minded people in your industry, this is your chance to get out of your daily routine and connect some dots.
- Capitalize on 1-on-1 meeting opportunities. This is your chance to meet people in real life from companies you follow, including Pure Storage. You can meet with people face-to-face at the end of sessions or at their company’s expo booth. To increase your chances of a productive meeting, book an appointment in advance to ensure you don’t miss out on valuable in-person interactions.
- Get the most out of the expo hall. Looking for cool swag is not the most productive way to spend your time. When you visit vendors, talk to experts who listen to you, understand your concerns, and clearly articulate how their application, solution, or people can make your AI solutions better as you grow and scale. Find solutions that aren’t just good for pilots or POCs but also enterprise-proven and AI-ready.
Pure Storage had AI, industry, and all-flash storage experts on deck, as well as validated reference architectures for enterprise AI applications and demos that show how customizing GenAI with RAG can jump-start customized enterprise AI applications.
