James Warnette reposted thisJames Warnette reposted thisThere’s a familiar pattern playing out yet again. New technology arrives, everyone rushes to make it bigger, faster, more powerful… and for a while, that looks like progress. Then, usually, something fairly immovable gets in the way. In AI, that moment seems to be arriving rather quickly. Not because the models aren’t improving, they are, but because the infrastructure underneath is starting to show its age. Power, cooling, space… and, more quietly, the amount of effort it takes just to move data around the place. We’ve seen versions of this before. Different decade, different terminology, same underlying issue: systems being asked to do things they were never designed for. What’s interesting this time is where the pressure is building. It’s not just cost, or complexity. It’s physics. Energy consumption, data gravity, and the growing gap between how fast we can process data and how inefficiently we still move it. That’s where things start to get constrained, and where a lot of current thinking begins to look slightly optimistic. I’ve pulled together a few observations on where those limits are showing up, and what tends to happen next when infrastructure hits them. Thanks to DatacenterDynamics for the platform to share this with an audience that’s thinking seriously about these challenges: https://lnkd.in/eWA-Sz4p VAST DataAI Infrastructure is hitting physical limits, and efficiency is becoming criticalAI Infrastructure is hitting physical limits, and efficiency is becoming critical

James Warnette shared thisI was at a peer dinner last week discussing something that’s becoming harder to ignore: who actually controls how influence spreads now? The old model (big publications, big headlines, traffic spikes) still matters. But it no longer explains how opinions are formed. Two shifts came up repeatedly: First, discovery is changing. AI summaries are increasingly satisfying intent before a user ever clicks through. Which means you can see impressions rise… while clicks quietly fall. Second, influence is fragmenting. More decisions are shaped in smaller, harder-to-see environments (closed forums, group chats, newsletters, podcasts). Put together, it changes the game. Visibility is no longer just about being seen. It’s more about ensuring you're being summarised, cited, and repeated in the right places, in the right way. We’re moving fast from a traffic model of influence to something closer to a citation model. As a communications lead, that is something I find fascinating and energising.

James Warnette posted thisThe UK has made its direction on AI very clear this week. I had the chance on Monday via the GTC virtual session to listen to Kanishka Narayan MP (DSIT) set out the government’s roadmap for AI leadership, focused on what’s possible and the economic value AI can unlock across enterprises, governments, science, and society. That was followed yesterday by the Chancellor’s Mais Lecture and a broader set of announcements, which together reinforce a consistent message: AI adoption is now expected, and it is being tied directly to productivity, growth, and national capability. There is clearly real intent behind this. Funding has been committed, programmes are being put in place, and there is a strong push to accelerate adoption across the economy. The ambition itself is not in question. What becomes more interesting is how and when that ambition translates into meaningful delivery. Much of the current conversation is understandably focused at the top of the AI stack; models, use cases, adoption rates, and economic impact. The next phase of the discussion, both for government and for industry, moves further down into the practicalities: where the compute actually runs, whether there is sufficient power, land, and planning capacity to support it, and whether data is structured and governed in a way that allows it to be used effectively at scale. In my experience, AI rarely falls short because of a lack of vision. It is realised, or constrained, by how well those underlying foundations are put in place. There is also an important dimension around sovereignty. The emphasis on building and retaining capability within the UK is clear and understandable. In practice, however, delivering that ambition is more nuanced. The UK has long been part of a global technology ecosystem, and many of the capabilities underpinning modern AI are inherently international. As a result, the question is increasingly less about where something is built, and more about how it is controlled, governed, operated, and critically, where the data sits. In many cases, sovereignty is achieved through architecture as much as geography. That architecture will often draw on a mix of domestic and global innovation, with the key being how it is deployed to deliver control, resilience, and trust in a UK context. The direction of travel is clear, and the opportunity is significant. The focus now shifts to how that vision is translated into systems that can operate at scale, under real-world constraints, with the right foundations in place. Ultimately, execution at the infrastructure and data layer will determine how quickly that ambition can be realised.

James Warnette shared thisOver the past two years, the AI conversation has largely been framed around the hyperscalers from the earlier cloud era. Alongside them we've seen the rise of the so-called 'neoclouds', specialist, often local, GPU clouds built specifically for large-scale AI workloads. They’ve appeared fast, fuelled by demand for compute from model builders and AI labs. But they also reveal something interesting about where enterprise AI is actually heading. As my VAST Data colleague Dan Chester pointed out in a new ComputerWeekly.com feature, many of these environments were designed to support extremely large, highly optimised GPU jobs... the sort that run for weeks at a time. But, that’s not how most enterprises organisations will operate. Most won’t need thousands of GPUs on a permanent basis. What they will increasingly have, however, are models that become deeply embedded in their own data and workflows, evolving over time into something very bespoke. Which raises a bigger question: If enterprise AI becomes something organisations continuously train, refine and operate, the real challenge may not just be compute… but how the data, infrastructure and models evolve together. Neoclouds are one highly important part of that story. But the bigger shift may be that AI infrastructure itself is starting to fragment into specialised layers, each optimised for a different part of the stack. The architecture of the AI era is still being worked out. But it’s already clear that the infrastructure market of the next decade will look very different from the cloud market of the last.

James Warnette liked thisJames Warnette liked thisWhy is the traditional "bring compute to the data" model failing? 🤔 During #theCUBE’s coverage from “VAST Key Moments” series, our host Rob Strechay speaks with VAST Data’s Jason Vallery, VP of Cloud Product Management, and Jonsi Stefansson, General Manager of Cloud, about how data gravity and distributed infrastructure is forcing data to move to where AI inference runs, marking a shift from the traditional “bring compute to the data" model. “From my perspective, the traditional “bring compute to the data” model is failing due to the data gravity and the infrastructure silos. In inferencing at scale, this is requiring a shift toward an active data infrastructure that merges compute and storage. VAST is so much more than just storage. It is that AI operating system that consolidates the foundational data services with our data store, unstructured data management with our dataspaces, being able to have a clear visibility overview. We're bringing everything near to the storage so you can run this in a more simplified and efficient manner,” Stefansson shares. “Customers are using API services from the frontier model builders and the hyperscalers to access the infrastructure. They're deploying their own infrastructure into the cloud providers and they're working with many of the emerging AI clouds. Ultimately, this proliferation of infrastructure is following where power and availability is and where the frontier model providers are providing the most capable systems. This movement of data is the opposite of how traditional hyperscale clouds have been built. The inverse is the data has to go to where the AI is being serviced and hosted,” Vallery adds. 📺 Get more insights! https://lnkd.in/dYwa9igT #AIInference #DistributedInfrastructure #DataGravity #Compute #TechNews

Article on UK tech, sovereignty and US public cloud adoption - from the outside, it certainly looks like there is encouragement to buy US cloud services over the local providers around the public sector. Whether you view this as a practical approach - the US clouds are bigger, have more functionality, and more budget to spend on innovation - or US clouds are taking over at the expense of the local tech sector is up for debate.

As the UK considers a ban on #ransomware payments, now is the time to shift the conversation to talking about #resilience and #CyberRecovery. If your company can rapidly restore following an attack, the ban itself becomes less of a factor because you know regardless, you're covered.

A great whitepaper from Josh Wheeler and the excellent team over at Be Broadcast who are the perfect modern agency. Targeted, responsive and polite. My mind is blown - because I've been directly involved in 0.25% of these media conversations. I've already worked on around 200 interviews and features related to AI so far this year. There's definitely a lot of excitement, a lot of interest, and a great deal of fear that the machines are coming and we're all going to end up hustling for our next Greggs Steak Bake. The biggest is risk is that AI as a concept becomes a homogenised mess because everything is currently being described as AI or associated with it to generate coverage and the public checks out. We need consumers to be aware and care about the big changes that are happening right in front of them.

The companies winning at AI aren't the ones planning their exit strategy from human involvement. They're the ones doubling down on human-AI collaboration as a permanent competitive advantage. After all, we're not training AI to replace us. We're training ourselves to amplify each other. #AI #HumanAI #DigitalTransformation #CustomerExperience

Modernization in the energy sector demands stability, security, and trusted partnerships. Bangchak Corporation modernised its mission‑critical environment by stabilising core operations, streamlining over 20 surrounding systems, and creating a scalable foundation for growth and more data‑driven decisions. https://okt.to/5Dv1Wl Key takeaway: resilience comes first. When continuity and risk are managed, organisations gain the confidence to move faster—scaling operations, enabling innovation, and preparing for what’s next. Outcomes like these are enabled by strong ecosystems. Fujitsu’s long‑standing strategic partnership with SAP plays a critical role in modernising complex enterprise environments with control and confidence. #FujitsuUvance #SAP #Energy #AI #DigitalTransformation

An AI Growth Zone built around power, land, grid access and production infrastructure, not just research headlines. That matters, because the real bottleneck in AI isn’t with models. It’s where AI can run reliably, securely, and at scale on real data. This site won’t win the AI race on its own for the UK. But, it’s a sensible foundation if the UK wants to stay competitive and bring Scotland into the conversation. The UK AI sector is already the largest in Europe, raising £6 billion in 2025, which is an 80% increase from 2024. Infrastructure first. Everything else follows.
