The Active Archive Alliance announced its free virtual conference, Why AI Needs Active Archive.

This virtual conference will focus on how to effectively plan for data management and governance in the emerging age of AI.

The conference will also feature a keynote presentation from storage industry expert Philippe Nicolas of Coldago Research and StorageNewsletter.

Session topics will include:

Big Picture

Practical Implementations
Identify how you can create a new and sustainable methodology through active archiving to support optimal data storage that is available and useful for advanced AI workflows.
Looking Ahead
For today’s data-driven and AI-based organizations, intelligent data management and the many benefits of active archiving will be an imperative go-forward strategy.
