Keith Sullivan, Director of Strategic Innovation at AFL, explains what meshing means in the context of data centres and why it is particularly important when it comes to GPU-intensive, AI compute workloads. Keith also outlines the common strategies used to implement meshing in a data centre and shares his thoughts as to how meshing will evolve over the next few years, with silicon photonics and co-packaged optics on the horizon.

Matthew Irish, General Manager, Digital Services at Apogee Corporation, explains how and why many companies still find the idea of digital transformation overwhelming with multi-year projects that cost a fortune and never seem to end. Too often, businesses try to swallow the entire ‘elephant’ at once, leading to a massive, expensive, company-wide overhaul that creates more chaos than it solves. Matt outlines an alternative, smarter, less stomach-churning way to approach digital transformation. Instead of a huge, high-stakes project, he recommends a step-by-step approach that tackles one process at a time, making it easier to manage, less disruptive, and way more effective.

Maxime Vermeir, Senior Director of AI Strategy at ABBYY, discusses the results from ABBYY’s State of Intelligent Automation: GenAI Confessions 2025 survey, which reveals challenges in implementing Generative AI (GenAI) – prompting the use of other AI to improve outputs. He explains that businesses are spending money on GenAI tools that promise more than they can provide and advises that before moving forward with leveraging GenAI tools for agentic AI, companies need to first evaluate their current processes and create a visibility map of their workflow with data analytics tools such as process intelligence.

Mike Arrowsmith, CTO at NinjaOne, shares valuable insights into a number of cybersecurity issues, explaining how AI adoption itself isn’t problematic when done thoughtfully – but lack of cyber awareness in this context is a cause for concern; how traditional IT and security silos are collapsing as AI demands more collaboration across the enterprise; and how AI brings with it likely challenges around shadow IT. Mike also highlights some non-AI related cybersecurity topics, before sharing a few highlights of the NinjaOne roadmap.

Dr. J Metz, SNIA Chair, explains how AI workloads are extraordinarily complex and constrained by issues related to latency, space, power and cooling, memory, and cost and how addressing these problems through an open industry initiative is the fastest path to optimisation and adoption, before going on to introduce Storage.AI, an open standards project for efficient data services related to AI workloads. Storage.AI will focus on industry-standard, non-proprietary, and neutral approaches to solving AI-related data problems to optimise the performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness of AI workloads.
