What happens when enterprise AI grows up? Hosts Phoebe Goh and Mekka Williams team up with Nichole Paschal, Senior AI Product Marketer at NetApp, to unpack how businesses are shifting from flashy, GPU-heavy solutions to smarter, nimbler AI, powered by CPUs.

But it’s not just about the tech. Nichole, Phoebe, and Mekka tackle the real-world hurdles of integrating AI into legacy systems, safeguarding data privacy, and ensuring rock-solid security. And, of course, they explore how hybrid on-premises and cloud-based solutions offer enterprises the best of both worlds.
