At IBM TechXchange 2024 in Las Vegas, I had the opportunity to speak about the transformative potential of combining IBM's Watsonx Data, AI, and governance frameworks with GigaSpaces solutions. Focusing on generative AI and augmenting IBM solutions such as IBM Power, I shared how GigaSpaces’ modern microservices architecture enhances these powerful technologies. This integration enables organizations to revolutionize their operations with agility, scalability, and robust data governance, paving the way for innovation and seamless adaptability. It was inspiring to discuss how organizations can now leverage a dynamic, flexible approach to push the boundaries of AI and data management.
Proud to represent GigaSpaces Technologies as part of the technical advisory board for Data and AI alongside Adi Paz, Danna Bethlehem Coronel, Michael Elkin and Vin Costello. This event was packed with invaluable insights and discussions—what a privilege to be part of it!
Some key takeaways from the IBM Watson Technical Forum led by Anant Jhingran, IBM Fellow & CTO:
• Databases are foundational when discussing AI—AI needs to be brought to the data, not the other way around.
• We explored AI vs IA (Intelligence Amplification): Will machines replace humans, or enhance what we do best?
• IT departments face staffing challenges—full 100% automation isn’t realistic, but 99% automation just might be within reach.
• A new era of agentic disruption is here, with multi-agent assistants handling complex, domain-specific tasks vs. traditional deterministic systems.
• We’re shifting focus from scaling intelligence at training time to runtime intelligence growth—a fascinating transformation.
Stephen Zampino and I had a great time attending the event together, where we had some insightful sessions on WEKA’s massive parallel NVMe persistence and NVIDIA’s golden standards. For those unfamiliar, WEKA provides a distributed, parallel file system optimized for flash and NVMe storage, enabling faster data access and high scalability. WEKA accelerates these demanding workloads by ensuring low-latency access to vast amounts of data, making it particularly useful in environments requiring high performance, such as research and AI.
A big shoutout to Lior Paster from Nvidia for sharing his insights! It’s always inspiring to learn and push the boundaries of what’s possible with innovative tech.
Great to be at FINOS NYC 2024, reconnecting with industry colleagues and diving into exciting discussions on building enterprise AI applications with a strong focus on security. As AI continues to reshape how we approach business challenges, ensuring data protection is more important than ever.
At GigaSpaces Technologies we're all about driving innovation while keeping performance and security at the forefront. Looking forward to exploring new solutions with the community here!
Had a fantastic time representing GigaSpaces Technologies at the NYC Business Fair alongside Stephen Zampino and Giyora Ramati. The range of local businesses was incredible—from innovative dating apps to top-notch charcuterie utensils, and groundbreaking learning management systems. One standout was an open-source book publisher reaching 23 countries (all locally translated), giving children access to stories they otherwise wouldn’t have. Proud to be part of such an inspiring event and showcase GigaSpaces' value proposition to the vibrant New York business ecosystem!
Excited to attend the Cybertech event in New York, where I'm seeing incredible innovation across the cyber ecosystem. It's amazing to witness so many companies and startups pushing boundaries. Looking forward to exploring future GigaSpaces Technologies partnerships and integrations for upcoming projects!
Just wrapped up an incredible NYC Tech Week! The discussions around VC/EC themes and GenAI meetups were truly thought-provoking. The strong focus on ethical AI and governance highlighted the balance between driving technological advancements for profit and improving the world through enhanced efficiency. A special shoutout to Stephen Zampino for making the experience even more enjoyable, and to Axios, IBM, Meta and Maria Sharapova for the interesting content and view points!
Had a fantastic time participating in the NYC Tech Week mingling event hosted by Andrew Yeung and Rho. The atmosphere was electric with tech professionals networking, sharing ideas, and enjoying live music. It was a great opportunity to connect with industry peers, representing GigaSpaces Technologies, and be part of such a vibrant community. Thanks to the hosts for organizing this amazing event!
Thrilled to be part of PlatformCon 2024!
Platform engineering is revolutionizing software development, and PlatformCon is where the future takes shape. Here's why it matters:
1. Scalability: Ensuring robust performance under peak loads.
2. Speed: Streamlining development for rapid deployment.
3. Resilience: Enhancing system reliability with fault-tolerant designs.
4. Security: Integrating top-notch security practices.
5. Innovation: Providing a solid foundation for creative solutions.
Interesting enough, by using GigaSpaces Technologies platform, many of the challenges are addressed as part of the platform, no need to add additional complexities!
The second GigaSpaces Technologies Tech Meetup was an exhilarating and fruitful gathering! Our intimate assembly of founders, developers, and architects showcased a dedicated commitment to technological advancement and knowledge expansion. It's noteworthy that the Space-Based Architecture pattern, despite its less widespread recognition, presents an exceptional alternative to microservices, especially when performance is paramount. This architecture, which has been adopted by hundreds of our customers, has also laid the groundwork for cloud computing giants like Amazon and Google.
I extend my heartfelt appreciation to Stephen Zampino for his masterful coordination of the meetups, and to Vin Costello and Dixson Huie for their invaluable support. Together, we are paving the way for innovation and excellence in technology.
