Behind every successful AI initiative is a robust, scalable data layer. This presentation explores how object storage supports every phase of the AI lifecycle—from data ingestion and labeling to model training, deployment, and monitoring. It will explore how enterprises can strategically use object storage in AI workflows to enable scalable, efficient pipelines and align cloud architecture performance with workload needs.

“I’m excited to be talking about cloud storage and AI architecture at the Ai4 conference; particularly how designing for scalable, efficient and cost effective data storage up front can accelerate AI development downstream,” said Jeronime De Leon, Senior Product Manager, AI at Backblaze. “When storage is planned with AI in mind (and vice versa), teams can move faster, iterate, and monetize more efficiently.”

The presentation is scheduled for August 12, 2025 at 4:40 p.m. in room 150 as part of the AI Infrastructure and Scalability track.
