AI Governance: It’s Time to Close the Widening Gap
Traditional governance is no longer enough to manage the scale of modern AI. As global regulations begin to fragment, the article "Inside the Shift Toward Internal Data Governance As Global AI Regulation Fragments", Onur Korucu, DataRep Non-Executive Director points out that organizations must move towards toward dynamic, internal industry frameworks. She says, true AI control isn't just about software rules; it requires a deep understanding of your data flows and the infrastructure they run on. Since AI magnifies the biases of its inputs, effective AI governance is, at its core, rigorous data governance. To stay ahead, leaders must stop waiting for universal standards and start embedding continuous, technical monitoring into their own everyday operations. --------------------------------------------------------------- 🗣️ Let's talk about it! 📣 Community Question: In your experience, where is the biggest gap between the legal intent of AI policy and the technological reality of how these systems actually run?

Hi all Hope you're all having a great day. We have several customers going down the Proxmox VE road. One of my colleagues was put onto https://github.com/kolesa-team/pve-purestorage-plugin as a possible solution (as using Pure behind Proxmox (using the native Proxmox release) is not a particularly Pure-like experience. Could someone from Pure comment on the plugin's validity/supportability?634Views5likes5CommentsTaking Snapshots of Databases on VMFS Datastores
Hey friends - hopefully you all are taking advantage of our snapshots for copy data management? Well, those of you who use VMDKs know that there's an extra headache thanks to the VMFS datastore layer. Fortunately, I've just published some new examples in our Github repository and have written up a solution overview on my blog! Check it out! https://sqlbek.wordpress.com/2026/01/08/taking-snapshots-of-databases-on-vmfs-datastores/ Github: Refresh VMFS VMDK(s) with Snapshot Point in Time Recovery – VMFSAI is Growing Rapidly. Is Our Talent Pipeline Keeping Up? 🚀
The AI revolution is currently building at a record pace, but the industry is facing a massive "people pipeline" problem. Industry leader Carrie Goetz, Principal and CTO at StrategITcom, highlights in the article, Building the People Pipeline for the Data Center Boom, that with nearly 500,000 open roles and a third of the workforce nearing retirement, we can no longer rely on poaching talent from competitors. Goetz proposes we must shift our focus to structured, skills-based apprenticeships and widen our reach to include veterans, tradespeople and neurodiverse talent. By demystifying the industry and showing students that tech careers involve much more than just coding, we can build a sustainable future for digital infrastructure. The conclusion: It’s time to stop just building facilities and start intentionally building the human workbench that powers them. --------------------------------------------------------------- 📣 Community Question: If you’re in the industry, share with us your own 'unconventional' path into the data center world.

AI success isn’t just about the model. In the article, "Managing AI In An Era Of Compute Scarcity: Governance Takes Center Stage", Palanivel Rajan Mylsamy: Director of Engineering Program Management at Cisco explains why compute governance is the new priority for tech leaders. Mylsamy highlights that compute power has become the "new gold," making it the primary bottleneck for scaling. To succeed, organizations must move away from wasteful resource allocation and embrace intelligent routing and hybrid infrastructures that balance security with cost-effectiveness. Ultimately, you can’t scale AI on a weak foundation; true growth requires moving from "what’s possible" to "what’s operationally sound." 📣 Community Question: How is your organization handling the compute crunch? Are you leaning more toward cloud, on-prem or a hybrid model? Explain why. Let's discuss!

Q1: In a medium - large datacenter (ie anticipated growth to 500 hosts), would it be a problem to use large subnets (ie 2 x /23 or /22's) to place the initiators + target IPs? All our existing nvme-tcp deployments (which we're having great success with btw) use 2 x /24's, which provides more than enough capacity for the array + a decent sized cluster. But now we're entering into the realms of multiple flasharrays (ie 3 or 4 in a single site) and hundreds of hosts - we'll quickly exhaust a /24 range. Q2: In this site, where we have say 2 x FA-X's an 2 x FA-C's, is it valid to present datastores from all of these arrays over nvme-tcp to a single cluster? With each array / datastore cluster being accessed using the same initiators on the same layer 2's? At what point does it get silly and I need to draw a line and segregate environments? Q3: Is there a capacity limit to the number of client hosts I can have on an array / mapping storage to? (nvm - I think I found the answer to that - looks like it's 1000 nqn's on pretty much all X and C arrays)327Views1like5CommentsPure Report Podcast: Nutanix and Pure Storage: Propelling Enterprise Virtualization Forward
