    Episode 413: AI and Data Modernization

    AI success starts with data. As organizations race to deploy AI initiatives, many discover that the biggest challenges aren't GPUs or models—they're data governance, data quality, compliance, and managing information across hybrid environments. In this episode of the Tech ONTAP Podcast, Justin Parisi is joined by Ahmed Al-Nabhani, Senior Solutions Engineer at NetApp, to discuss how enterprises across the GCC region are modernizing their data infrastructure to support AI at scale.

    Episode 412 - Disaggregated ONTAP (aka NetApp AFX)

    In this episode, Arindam Banerjee and Jeff Baxter join us to discuss disaggregated ONTAP, also known as AFX. We discuss how disaggregated ONTAP separates storage compute from storage capacity, allowing customers to scale performance and capacity independently. This architecture is designed for modern workloads such as AI, machine learning, EDA, media and entertainment, and large-scale unstructured data environments.

    Ep 410 - Why Data Movement Defines Hybrid & AI Success

    When moving data into or out of the cloud, the real cost isn’t storage, but latency, egress fees, and lost flexibility. For instance, if you spin up AI workloads in one cloud and inference in another, what happens when your data can’t move fast enough to keep GPUs busy? What’s the cost? These are the challenges enterprises are running into right now as hybrid, multi-cloud, and AI architectures collide. On the latest Tech ONTAP Podcast, Justin Parisi is joined by Glenn Dekheyser (Equinix) to unpack why private interconnectivity and data movement are now as critical as storage and compute.

    Episode 409 - Who Really Controls Your Data in the Age of AI?

    As artificial intelligence reshapes cybersecurity, organizations are being forced to rethink data sovereignty, trust, and resilience. In this episode, we sit down with Adam Gale, Field CTO for Cybersecurity and AI at NetApp, to explore how AI, security, and geopolitics are colliding in today’s digital infrastructure. This conversation goes beyond theory to discuss real-world challenges and decisions organizations are facing right now. \In this episode, we cover: • How AI is being used in modern cybersecurity • Why “human in the loop” still matters for critical decisions • What data sovereignty really means—and why it’s not one-size-fits-all • The role of encryption and key ownership in protecting data • Real-world examples of dark sites, resilience, and infrastructure disruptions • Why trust and transparency are essential in security platforms With AI accelerating and regulations evolving worldwide, data sovereignty is no longer just a compliance issue—it’s becoming a strategic and board-level concern.
