AI adoption is accelerating across India’s enterprises, but the infrastructure supporting these workloads is not always keeping pace. As organisations move from AI pilots to production and explore agentic AI, the demands on storage, data availability, performance and resilience are becoming increasingly complex.
The challenge is building an infrastructure foundation that can support AI at scale; delivering the performance and availability required for demanding workloads, enabling rapid recovery from disruption, and modernising existing environments without adding unnecessary complexity.

 

As AI workloads scale, leaders must also rethink how they balance infrastructure investment, resilience and performance with business priorities. The question is how to build an infrastructure foundation that can evolve with the business and deliver value over the long term.

 

This is particularly critical for organisations across manufacturing, BFSI, retail, telecom and aviation, where AI increasingly intersects with mission-critical systems and sensitive business data. Infrastructure decisions can directly impact operational continuity, risk, cost and the ability to scale AI with confidence.

 

This exclusive, invitation-only roundtable, hosted by IDC in partnership with Hitachi Vantara, will bring together CIOs, CDOs and senior technology leaders for a closed-door discussion to explore what it takes to build resilient, AI-ready data infrastructure: from storage and architecture to cyber-resilience, recovery and modernisation.

Key Learning:

Closing the infrastructure gap between AI pilots and production-scale agentic AI

Ensuring performance and availability for AI workloads without compromising uptime

Strengthening cyber-resilience and recovery in AI-driven environments

Modernising existing infrastructure without adding complexity

Balancing infrastructure investment with long-term business value
