How CSPs Can Accelerate The Data Center

Are you a cloud services provider—or a CSP wannabe—wondering how to expand your data center in ways that will both keep your customers happy and help you turn a profit? If so, a recent webinar entitled Accelerate Your Cloud: Best Practices for CSPs, sponsored by Supermicro and AMD, can help. The webinar’s first speaker is Ashish Nadkarni, group VP and GM of worldwide infrastructure research at IDC.

IDC expects that this year, GenAI will double the productive use of unstructured data, helping workers discover new insights and knowledge. Next up in the webinar is Sim Upadhyayula, VP of solutions enablement at Supermicro. He offered a list of 10 essential steps for scaling a CSP data center. Suresh Andani, AMD’s senior director of product management for server cloud, is up next. He discusses 3 key CSP challenges.
