Enterprise AI is moving from experimentation to production, forcing organizations to reconsider how they store, access and manage their data. Wendell Wenjen, Senior Director of Storage Market Development at Supermicro, joins Molly Presley on Data Unchained to discuss the infrastructure demands behind enterprise AI. They examine the shift from training to inference, the growing role of storage in AI budgets, KV cache, on-premises AI and the challenge of preparing distributed enterprise data for production workloads. Wendell also explains why many AI proofs of concept never reach production, how power demands could influence infrastructure decisions and what businesses must address before deploying AI at scale.
