In this episode of the Scaling Intelligence podcast, Intersect360 Research's Addison Snell sits down with SNIA board chair Dr. J Metz and communications co-chair Scott Shadley to explore the evolving landscape of data storage and infrastructure. The conversation digs deep into SNIA’s organizational transformation in response to major industry inflection points— like the rise of AI and hyperscale computing— and discusses why the solutions for modern workloads demand much more than legacy, one-size-fits-all architectures. J and Scott explain how SNIA’s collaborative forums invite input from every sector of the storage and computing ecosystem, uniting software engineers, hardware experts, end users, and industry alliances to address real-world challenges in data movement, workload optimization, and interoperability. Topics include the challenges of Storage AI, the importance of listening to end-user requirements, bridging gaps between legacy HPC and new AI workloads, and how SNIA partners with standards bodies like OCP, IEEE, and more. Hear why today’s storage architectures must adapt faster than ever, and discover how professionals at every level— from hyperscale vendors to emerging startups— can get involved in shaping the future of scalable infrastructure.
