The road to AI success is paved with innovation, collaboration and AI-ready data infrastructure.
Next week, Cisco Live 2025 takes on San Diego. As always, this year’s North American stop of this global IT mega event promises a dynamic convergence of ideas, technologies and strategies that will help shape the future of IT.
There’s a lot to cover at the show. For our team, the heart of the event ties to a critical question: how to turn AI ambition into measurable ROI.
And how – with the rapidly evolving AI landscape – selecting both the right tools AND the right partners are equally paramount to your success.
From AI to ROI: The Power of the Right Partnership
For IT leaders across a broad range of industries, the secret to unlocking the immense potential of AI requires more than just powerful AI models. It demands something equally innovative to help it thrive. A trusted, scalable data foundation, built on rock solid infrastructure.
Beyond the technology, plotting a course to ensure AI success requires the right partners, ready to provide the expert guidance needed to help you leverage your resources to effectively drive results. The synergy between cutting-edge AI solutions and this type of industry-specific experience is essential to transforming potential into performance.
Working together, Hitachi Vantara and Cisco bring together the expertise and resources to help you design and refine a data strategy ready to embrace the latest AI innovations. And then to implement and manage the right platform and infrastructure to make it happen. Ready to help ensure your data and AI workloads are safe, secure and available, wherever and whenever they’re needed.
Join us at Cisco Live 2025, June 8–12, San Diego
If you are at the event, come see us at Booth 4335 to explore how our integrated solutions – including Hitachi EverFlex with Cisco Powered Hybrid Cloud and Cisco and Hitachi Adaptive Solutions for Converged Infrastructure – are helping organizations around the world accelerate AI adoption while optimizing cost, performance and availability.
I also hope you’ll also join us for my featured presentation, Turn AI into ROI with a Solid Data Foundation, Wed., June 11, 3:15pm (WoS Hall F, Content Corner Theater 2). I’ll be sharing the stage with Jeremy Foster, SVP/GM of Cisco Compute, discussing how the latest UCS innovations are transforming GPU server capabilities for AI workloads. Along with a great story about the convergence of IT and OT (operational technology) made possible by our collaboration with Hitachi Group companies that puts the power of partnership into even stronger focus.
There’s no doubt. Successfully implementing AI depends on more than just technology. It takes the right strategy, infrastructure and partners. Hope to see you at Cisco Live 2025 to discuss further and explore how Hitachi Vantara and Cisco can help you turn AI into ROI, with speed, efficiency and confidence.
