NVIDIA GTC 2025: Why Hybrid Has Become the Default Choice for Infrastructure and Data Storage

At NVIDIA GTC 2025 in San Jose, Calif., artificial intelligence commanded most of the spotlight. And while data is usually viewed as a supporting player in the AI story, IT leaders occasionally shone a light on the data itself. Acknowledging that it may be a less sexy topic than AI, leaders such as CDW's Joe Chenevey, Hitachi Ventara's Octavian Tanase and NetApp's Russell Fishman highlighted the importance of data storage and discussed the value of choosing hybrid infrastructure options when planning to adopt AI.
