On October 8, 2024, VAST Data’s Cosmos world tour made a stop in London, bringing together industry leaders, including Stelia attendees Paul Morrison CMO and Peter Beecroft VP Alliances, to discuss the future of AI-ready infrastructure and modern data foundations. The event featured insightful discussions from G-Research, Oxford Nanopore Technologies, NVIDIA, Deloitte, and Williams Racing, all sharing their unique AI journeys.
AI Infrastructure Must Be Radically Simplified
A key theme throughout the event was the need for radical simplification in AI infrastructure. As AI adoption accelerates, enterprises face increasing complexity in data storage, processing, and inference. The message was clear: building AI-ready infrastructure should not be a bottleneck to innovation.
Modernising Data Foundations for AI
Speakers emphasized the importance of modernizing data foundations to support new AI-driven processes. From optimizing real-time data flows to ensuring seamless AI model execution, companies are looking for ways to remove inefficiencies and drive more intelligent decision-making. 
Real-Time Data Insights Fuelling Generative AI
Another key discussion point was how generative AI can be significantly enhanced by real-time data intelligence. AI models are only as good as the data they process, and organizations that integrate real-time insights into their AI workflows will gain a competitive edge.
Stelia’s Perspective on AI Infrastructure
Stelia attendees, Paul Morrison and Peter Beecroft, joined industry peers to explore the role of AI infrastructure in unlocking enterprise-scale AI. As enterprises move from AI experimentation to full-scale execution, optimized AI data mobility and inference efficiency are emerging as critical success factors. Stelia’s approach, eliminating latency bottlenecks and enabling real-time AI decision-making, aligns directly with the challenges discussed at the event.
Final Thoughts
VAST Data’s Cosmos London event underscored a fundamental shift in enterprise AI: the focus is on ensuring the infrastructure exists to deploy them effectively. As AI continues to evolve, companies that prioritise scalable, intelligent, and efficient infrastructure will be best positioned to lead in the AI economy.
