Architecting Trust: Design Secure and Sovereign AI Systems (Presented by HPE) [S82136]
Monday, March 16 | 5–5:40 p.m.
As AI adoption accelerates, organizations face a growing tension between data gravity, regulatory constraints, and the need to scale AI quickly. Data sovereignty requirements, air-gapped environments, and operational security expectations increasingly shape how—and where—AI systems can be built and deployed. This session explores how to build secure, scalable AI platforms in highly regulated environments. Drawing on real-world implementations from regulated industries such as government and finance, we’ll examine how organizations are aligning AI performance with strict data residency and sovereignty requirements. You'll leave with a practical framework for designing AI environments that minimize unnecessary data movement, support rapid experimentation, and maintain strong control over sensitive data across private and hybrid infrastructures.

From Idle to Optimized: Managing GPUs, Kubernetes, and Automated Compute at Scale (Presented by HPE) [S82139]
Tuesday, March 17 | 9:00–9:40 a.m.
As AI workloads grow in size and complexity, infrastructure teams are under pressure to deliver high GPU utilization, predictable performance, and strong operational controls across a mix of Kubernetes and bare-metal environments. Limited visibility into GPU behavior can quickly lead to inefficiency, cost overruns, and governance gaps. This session examines practical approaches to observing, provisioning, and optimizing GPU-accelerated infrastructure for AI workloads. We’ll discuss strategies for end-to-end GPU monitoring, automation patterns for Kubernetes and bare-metal environments, and techniques for aligning performance optimization with policy and governance requirements. The focus is on repeatable, scalable practices that infrastructure and platform teams can apply in real-world AI environments.
