Beyond the Hardware Shortage: Finding More Capacity in the Infrastructure You Already Own
Date: Wednesday, August 26 at 11 am PT / 2 pm ET
AI is putting a serious squeeze on computing capacity, but the answer is not necessarily to keep buying more hardware—especially when new servers, memory, and GPUs are expensive, backordered, or simply unavailable. This talk looks at a more practical option: getting more from the infrastructure you already own. We’ll explore how organizations can combine virtual machines and containers, share GPUs, support a wider mix of chips, automate routine management, and tap outside capacity when needed without rebuilding everything from scratch. The goal is not to chase the newest hardware. It is to recover capacity that is already sitting idle, reduce complexity, keep costs under control, and stay flexible as AI demands continue to grow. Along the way, we’ll look at how IT teams can start small, prove the value, and build from there.
