As AI moves from experimentation to production-scale inference, many organizations are encountering new challenges. Inference now accounts for nearly half of corporate AI spending, yet fewer than half of IT leaders say they are managing those costs effectively. While hyperscalers remain the default for training large models, their centralized architectures can create performance, cost, and scalability challenges when it comes to real-time AI inference. In this on-demand webinar, James Brown (Akamai) and Bryan Glick (ComputerWeekly.com) explore how organizations can rethink their AI infrastructure strategy. The discussion looks at how distributed edge computing can help enterprises run AI workloads closer to users, improve performance, control costs, and avoid vendor lock-in. The session is ideal for: • CIOs and CTOs shaping AI infrastructure strategies • IT leaders running AI in production and optimizing cost and performance • Cloud architects designing next-generation applications Watch the webinar on-demand 👉 https://ow.ly/EHe750YAU3q
