Dog Days of Summer – Looking forward to OCP Summit
While no day in tech is technically slow, we’ve hit mid-summer, which means that conferences have slowed, Europeans are jetting off to holiday, and everything else is feeling a bit like wading through molasses in terms of the regular maelstrom of advancement that we’ve come accustomed to in the AI era. A day like today makes me look forward to what is on the horizon, and there is plenty to look forward to in the months ahead. Today’s focus is the OCP Summit coming up October 15-17 in San Jose, and if you have peered into the roster of industry sponsors like I have you’ve noticed that OCP has…well…super-sized.
I remember the days that this Summit would feature about three top tier sponsors vying for the spotlight, and this year features nineteen. NINETEEN. This is just the top tier players, and as you scroll through the list of companies spending major money to feature their tech at the show you realize that OCP has become the nexus of what is happening in AI infrastructure. Silicon providers, infrastructure builders, power and cooling entities, oil companies – all showing up to talk about the future of the data center. All likely engaged in OCP configuration delivery and participating in conference proceedings in a major way.
The TechArena is excited to be part of the OCP Summit this year again as a media sponsor, and we are especially excited to dip into conversations regarding the advancement of sustainable infrastructure, how the fabric of the future will be shaped including advancement of Sonic (which we covered extensively in Lisbon this April), what’s next in memory advancement, and of course power and cooling innovations required to fuel these ridiculously hungry racks. We’ll be podcasting daily, engaging with vendors in video discussions from the show floor, and writing insight stories for those unable to make it to San Jose. We’re keen to know what is on the top of your mind in regards to hyperscale infrastructure priorities as well! Please take part in our daily polls on my LinkedIn feed this week to share your views on what will grab the world’s attention during the summit in October.
