AI workloads aren’t just bigger—they’re fundamentally different. Sustained, high-volume “elephant flows” are moving petabytes between storage and compute for hours (or days) at a time. That’s a very different demand profile than traditional cloud traffic—and most infrastructure wasn’t built for it. So what does AI-grade infrastructure actually require? We break down what we’re seeing across real-world network telemetry—and what it means for how teams should be designing infrastructure now. 🔥➡️ https://hubs.ly/Q04dgq520

He will demonstrate how pairing Mixpeek’s multimodal #VideoAI with Backblaze B2 transforms unstructured content into searchable, programmable assets, automating compliance and feature extraction directly from secure #CloudStorage. 🔍 Where: Booth N1259 🕒 When: Today, April 21 @ 3:00 p.m. PT / 6:00 p.m. ET
