The AI race is about who can actually store, move and feed the data 🐎 #theCUBE is heading to the “Supermicro Open Storage Summit 2026,” where the conversation shifts from training breakthroughs to the infrastructure question every enterprise is quietly wrestling with: How do you actually get your data ready for AI at scale? As agentic AI pushes context windows longer, inference workloads explode, and enterprises try to move from proof of concept to full production, storage has become the make-or-break layer nobody talks about enough. We will be on the ground unpacking: ▪️ How organizations are discovering, governing and preparing massive volumes of unstructured data to power workflows like RAG. ▪️ How agentic AI is reshaping memory architectures and the role storage plays in managing expanding context windows.  ▪️ How enterprises are balancing performance and economics through multi-tier storage strategies as inference becomes dominant.  ▪️ What it actually takes to move AI initiatives from POC to production at scale. ▪️ How legacy storage modernization and open data lakehouses are finally breaking down enterprise data silos.  ▪️ How Neocloud providers and hybrid storage-as-a-service models are competing on sovereignty, scale and performance. ▪️ How industry-specific compliance and proprietary data requirements are driving vertical AI infrastructure. This is where the real AI infrastructure conversation happens. 🔔 Follow theCUBE.net for exclusive coverage: https://lnkd.in/d-6YBniB #AIInfrastructure #AgenticAI #DataArchitecture #Storage #RAG #Inference #EnterpriseAI
