Welcome back to Let's Talk Shop! In this episode, we dive deep into the world of AI with Russell Fishman (Sr. Director of Solutions Product Management) at NetApp to explore the evolving storage landscape. Forget the GPU-centric hype – we uncover the critical role of intelligent data infrastructure in the AI pipeline, from ingestion to inference. Russell shares how NetApp's long history in data management for analytics and HPC uniquely positions them to tackle AI's biggest challenges, especially around data readiness. We discuss NetApp's specific features that boost performance and scalability across on-premises and multicloud environments, and address the crucial topic of data governance and reducing vendor lock-in in the age of AI.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
