Infrastructure as Destiny: The Compute-Capital-Cloud Trinity | RAISE Summit 2026
Stephanie Cohen, Don Barneston, Suresh Vasudevan, Greg Matson, Jeff Denworth, Jordan Nanos
Driven by a critical shortage of physical infrastructure against surging AI demand, the event highlights how neoclouds and vendors are shifting from speculative investment to immediate deployment through deep operational partnerships and aggressive capacity underwriting through 2028. Key industry leaders from companies like Cloudflare, Vast Data, and Solidigm discuss how architectural innovations in storage compression, isolated compute environments, and resilient interconnects are solving bottlenecks in copper, optics, and hardware failure rates. Looking ahead, the discussion projects a multi-decade expansion cycle marked by market consolidation, the emergence of machine-to-machine commerce, and the transition of AI inference into a ubiquitous cloud utility embedded within every application.

Time to First Token: The Metric That Will Define Our Era | Nscale, VAST Data & NVIDIA | RAISE 2026
Kristin Zwez, Jeff Denworth, Rod Evans, Christine
Jensen Huang and Vast Data redefine AI infrastructure economics by shifting the primary metric from hardware utilization to Time to First Token, ensuring that billions in capital investments for massive GPU clusters yield immediate ROI. This evolution integrates storage directly into the core computer to maximize inference speed while driving a business model transition from hourly compute sales to token-as-a-service. Consequently, enterprises are advised to abandon legacy IT stacks in favor of fully integrated data computers and to prioritize executive ownership of AI adoption to avoid costly silos and ensure rigorous bottom-line execution.
