Architectural Deep Dive: Building Data Pipelines for AI Agents
May 7 | Register Now! The leap from a "hello world" AI agent to a production-ready system is a massive data challenge. Autonomous agents are coming your way, and it's up to you to figure out how to get your data stack ready for production. In this live session, we'll build a high-velocity data pipeline for AI agents from scratch. Starting with the fundamentals of a strong data storage foundation, we'll walk through every layer end-to-end. We'll cover real-time data ingestion, vector storage, retrieval, orchestration, and inference. In this session you’ll learn: How to build a production-ready data storage pipeline for AI agents The foundational decisions IT, Data, and AI teams need to make to handle "context lag" and memory before the first agent goes live A practical framework for assessing whether your current infrastructure is ready to support AI agents at scale Register Now!Bring your hardest questions Building an AI Factory Live with FlashStack
April 21 | Register Now! Most organizations racing to build AI infrastructure are assembling point solutions that create hidden bottlenecks before a single model ever trains. This session cuts through the complexity with a live, practitioner-led walkthrough of the Everpure and Cisco FlashStack® for AI CVD—a proven reference architecture purpose-built for the NVIDIA AI Factory. Experts from Everpure will show you exactly how FlashStack eliminates the guesswork from AI infrastructure deployment, from storage and networking to compute and data pipeline readiness. Key takeaways include: Why a CVD-backed reference architecture reduces deployment risk and accelerates time-to-AI How FlashStack integrates with NVIDIA technologies to support training, inference, and agentic workloads at scale Perspective on what enterprises get wrong when standing up AI infrastructure—and how to avoid the most costly mistakes Register Now!New IDC Research: Building Data Infrastructure for AI

The Only Constant Is Change: Architecting for AI, Cloud, Virtualization, and Beyond
February 10 | Register Now! 11:00AM PT • 2:00PM ET Foundations matter: Their flexibility enables or constrains what you can do years down the road with your applications and business initiatives. For February 2026, host Andrew Miller explores the idea of data center foundations and how Pure Storage works with Cisco around FlashStack® to enable both current and future business initiatives. He’ll be joined by Eugene McGrath, Principal Field Solutions Architect for FlashStack—and previously a partner and customer—who will do a deep dive on this topic. We’ll wander through: Data center architecture history - from Reference Architecture to Converged Infrastructure, to Hyperconverged Infrastructure, the benefits we hoped for from each architectural phase, and how well we achieved them at an industry level. FlashStack - the core design principles behind the Cisco and Pure Storage partnership and the benefits, including statelessness, innovation without disruption, benefits during Day 0/1/2, and Cisco Validated Designs. What matters today - new announcements and capabilities with Nutanix, hypervisor optionality, AI designs, AI Pods, and more! In short, FlashStack reduces risk with prevalidated solutions for AI and analytics, cyber resilience, business-critical applications, and modern virtualization.
