The Great AI Crossroads: Open Highways vs. Walled Gardens
Enterprise AI is racing ahead, but soaring CAPEX for proprietary stacks — and the pressure to squeeze more value from IT and cloud infrastructure and data assets you already own — threaten to stall progress. In this 20-minute fireside chat, Hammerspace CEO David Flynn confronts the fork every AI leader faces: Walled Gardens — closed, single-vendor, proprietary platforms that lock in data, GPUs, and clouds; versus Open Highways — a Linux-native data layer that uses Tier 0 NVMe in the GPU server, unifies file/object data, and runs on any accelerator or cloud. We close with the first public reveal of the next-gen open storage architecture for AI, engineered to slash costs, optimize power usage, and eliminate lock-in.
