In this episode, Kevin Bowers returns to explain Jump's expansion from trading to core infrastructure, centered on what he calls the "great inversion": the real bottleneck in tech isn't compute, but data and I/O. He introduces Shelby, a new storage network, as a direct challenge to the "Hotel California for Data" model used by cloud providers. This same focus on efficient data flow—not just processing power—was the key to scaling Solana with Fire Dancer. Finally, Kevin explains how FPGAs from high-frequency trading are the critical hardware solution, allowing blockchains to bypass software's inefficient "Tower of Babel" and "get close to the wire" for true high performance. 00:00 - Expanding Beyond Trading and the Vision for Shelby 02:31 - Challenges in Storage and Data Management 04:37 - Building High-Performance Systems 08:04 - The Evolution of Jump's Technology 11:55 - The Economics of Cloud Storage 29:07 - Fire Dancer and Frankendancer 42:03 - The Cost of Optimization 42:48 - Machine Learning and Custom Networks 43:47 - Project Prioritization and Entropy 46:48 - Challenges in High-Performance Computing 56:38 - The Role of FPGAs in Trading and Blockchain 01:13:45 - Future of Hardware Acceleration in Blockchain 01:18:54 -Conclusion and Final Thoughts Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Join Pure Storage Technical Evangelists Don Poorman and Mike Nelson as we dive into Pure Fusion and how Pure Storage is enabling users to focus less on managing storage and more on managing their data. We start by examining the complexities of managing storage and application workloads in today's rapidly evolving IT landscape. We expose the challenges posed by legacy vendor "portfolios" which often consist of disparate products lacking unified GUIs and APIs. Learn why a fundamental shift is necessary to eliminate silos in enterprise storage, moving beyond mere federation to true integration – a unified management plane with common APIs that seamlessly operate across the entire storage ecosystem. Poorman and Nelson underscore how this integration and automation are not just valuable for traditional workloads but will be absolutely critical for the future of AI implementation, especially for inference. Our discussion pivots to Pure Storage's groundbreaking solution: Fusion. Learn what Fusion is – a powerful capability included in the latest versions of the Purity operating environment that provides an intelligent control plane for a centralized, unified management experience across an entire fleet of arrays. Our experts explain how Fusion inherently adopts Pure's API-First strategy, offering robust automation capabilities through PowerShell SDK, Ansible, and Python. They highlight how Fusion drives management, compliance, and workload configuration consistency from a single pane of glass, and how it's a vital foundation of Pure's Enterprise Data Cloud (EDC) vision. Listeners and viewers will gain invaluable insights into the tangible benefits of Fusion, including the ability to provision storage on any array from any array within the same UI, search and manage storage resources globally, and reconfigure resources without needing to access a specific array. Poorman and Nelson also explore how Fusion simplifies and standardizes workload deployments with pre-configured definitions, enabling end-to-end workload orchestration. They touch upon future enhancements like seamless interoperability across file, object, and block storage in on-site, hybrid, and cloud environments, and the exciting prospect of workload mobility.

In this episode of Talk Commerce recorded live from Ecom Forum in Minneapolis, host Brent Peterson sits down with Sharon Gee, Senior Vice President of Product at Commerce, to discuss how artificial intelligence and agentic commerce are reshaping ecommerce. Sharon oversees AI offerings across BigCommerce, Feedonomics, and Makeswift, bringing insights on how merchants can adapt to a world where AI agents shop alongside humans.Key TakeawaysData has become the new storefront as consumers increasingly turn to answer engines rather than traditional searchMerchants need to provide structured, contextual data to AI agents, not just visually appealing websites for human shoppersChatGPT reached 100 million users faster than any consumer technology in historyProduct data must exist on multiple levels, from basic ad information to unstructured content in PDFs and reviewsB2B commerce stands to benefit significantly from AI-powered sales assistantsNew trust protocols are being established to manage transactions between shoppers, agents, merchants, and merchant agentsAI democratizes marketing tools, allowing creative thinkers to execute ideas without engineering expertiseEpisode SummarySharon begins by explaining her role at Commerce and immediately addresses the most significant shift in ecommerce: the rise of agentic commerce. For decades, professionals optimized data for advertising channels, working to improve conversion rates between two and five percent. Now consumers turn to answer engines with complex queries like finding a dress for a wedding in Italy in a specific color and size, delivered by tomorrow."Somebody came along and bopped the board game and now we get to reset all the pieces," Sharon explains. This shift requires merchants to recognize that data has become the new storefront. Answer engines need deep context to respond to long-form queries, making product discoverability critical wherever shoppers are looking.Sharon introduces a framework for data levels. Level one includes basic information for Google ads. Level two encompasses marketplace data. Level three consists of product specifications in PIM systems. Levels four and five venture into unstructured data, including PDFs and user reviews. This creates what she calls a bifurcated experience—merchants need different versions of their sites for AI agents versus human visitors.When asked whether sites might become pure APIs, Sharon argues for both approaches. Brand sites remain channels merchants control, but on third-party agentic channels, merchants only control the data they provide. This makes data investment critical for visibility.Sharon sees massive potential in B2B sales assistants trained on documentation that human sales reps use. If three-quarters of the sales cycle could progress overnight, reps could focus on high-touch human interactions. B2B companies have advantages because they're manufacturers with deep data, extensive documentation, and sophisticated pricing structures.Addressing concerns about AI reliability, Sharon explains that commerce platforms and partners are collaborating on protocols. "You've seen more open protocols released in the past six months than like the previous 10 years combined," she notes. Companies recognize that trust becomes paramount when authorizing agents to shop on behalf of consumers. Transactions now involve four parties: a shopper, a shopper agent, a merchant, and a merchant agent.Sharon emphasizes AI's role as a growth enabler rather than just a cost-reduction tool. Merchants could rewrite entire product catalogs with a button click using generative AI. AI provides jet fuel for existing teams, unlocking capabilities never before possible. "I would love it if our generation is the last one to use a mouse and a keyboard," Sharon declares.Brent adds that AI's greatest value might be identifying what merchants aren't doing rather than what they should be doing. Sharon confirms that Commerce customers use tools to define simulated personas and understand what queries those personas might ask, then determine what content they need to ensure their products get referenced instead of competitors' products.Episode Timestamps[00:00] - Introduction and Sharon's role at Commerce[01:00] - How agentic commerce is changing the game[02:30] - The shift from traditional SEO to AI-driven discovery[04:00] - Why data is the new storefront[06:00] - The five levels of product data[08:00] - Creating different experiences for agents vs humans[10:00] - The bifurcated website experience[12:00] - Why B2B commerce will benefit from AI agents[14:00] - Building trust protocols for agentic transactions[16:00] - AI as a growth enabler vs cost reducer[18:00] - Rewriting catalogs with generative AI[20:00] - Finding gaps in content strategy with AI[21:00] - Final thoughts on Ecom Forum and the human element
Traditional AR and AP finance is no longer enough. With evolving disclosure requirements, tariff pressures, and increasing supplier expectations, treasurers must deliver liquidity and visibility with fewer resources while managing heavier supplier demands. In this episode, Sean VanGundy and Jeremy Reedus join Craig Jeffery from Strategic Treasurer and Michel Abranches from Monkey Tech (Money is Key) to explore how working capital 2.0 helps treasurers move beyond one-size-fits-all programs. They discuss how hybrid approaches, such as auction-based supplier financing for lower rates alongside automated dynamic discounting, can optimize AR and AP, strengthen supplier adoption, and deliver measurable EBITDA impact. The conversation also highlights how real-time visibility gives treasurers a true decision cockpit and how removing the lift of supplier onboarding and support enables higher participation and improved governance. https://www.monkeytech.com/

The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) facilitates trades of exports of goods and services and, in doing so, deals with massive troves of data. From the Billington Cybersecurity Summit, EXIM CISO, Chief Privacy Officer, and Deputy Chief AI Officer Darren Death tells CyberCast that his agency is centralizing data about user access and behavior to detect potential cyber threats. Death says that balancing cybersecurity with privacy remains a challenge, especially in complex IT ecosystems involving financial institutions. He stresses the need to “shift left” by embedding privacy and security requirements early in the development lifecycle and include business leaders in conversations about cybersecurity, privacy and usability. He also says that the EXIM is using generative AI to simulate incident response scenarios, escalating threats to test team readiness. Death adds that EXIM is positioning AI as a force multiplier rather than a job threat.

Wie lang ist deine Datenstrategie? Wenn sie nicht auf eine Folie passt, dann ist sie zu groß und du verschwendest Zeit! Warum das so ist und wie wir von der Strategie ins Tun kommen, darüber spricht Christian Krug, der Host des Podcasts „Unf*ck Your Data“ mit Claudia Pohlink, Chief Data Officer bei FIEGE. So viele reden über Datenstrategie und KI Strategie und was da alles rein muss. Also sich lange mit sich selbst beschäftigen und rausfinden wo die Reise hingeht. Was wollen wir machen, wie wollen wir das erreichen.Aber was kommt oft zu kurz? Genau das dann umzusetzen!Und das ist viel wichtiger als große Werke zu erschaffen, die nichts bewirken.Denn laut Claudia ist alles was nicht auf eine Folie passt zu viel für eine Datenstrategie.Nach Christians Einwurf gesteht sie dann aber doch eine zweite Folie mit den Don'ts zu.Am Ende bleibt es aber dabei: Umsetzung schlägt Planung.Und damit diese Umsetzung gelingt braucht es ein Daten und KI Team, das schnell echten Mehrwert schafft. Auch wenn keiner mehr „Quick Wins“ hören kann, diese sind notwendig damit du weiterhin den Rückhalt hast an deinen Projekten zu arbeiten. Und auch genau diese Transparenz zu schaffen: Wann ist was fertig? Was können wir vom Datenteam erwarten? Ist einer dieser Quick Wins.Aber wie sieht so ein Datenteam eigentlich idealerweise aus? Bei FIEGE hat Claudia dieses Team in zwei große Bereiche eingeteilt: Foundations und Solutions.Während sich Foundations um die Grundlage wie Datenplattform, Mitarbeitenden-Enablement und Schulung, Data Governance (aka Data Management) und Self Service kümmert, geht in Solutions um die Entwicklung von Datenprodukten, für die kundennahen Abteilungen oder direkt für die Kunden.Wie das dann aussieht und warum es für das eine Templates gibt und das andere Maßarbeit ist, das hörst du in dieser Folge.▬▬▬▬▬▬ Profile: ▬▬▬▬Zum LinkedIn-Profil von Claudia: https://www.linkedin.com/in/claudia-pohlink/Zum LinkedIn-Profil von Christian: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christian-krug/Christians Wonderlink: https://wonderl.ink/@christiankrugUnf*ck Your Data auf Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unfck-your-data▬▬▬▬▬▬ Buchempfehlung: ▬▬▬▬Buchempfehlung von Claudia: Wenn die letzte Frau den Raum verlässt - Vincent-Immanuel HerrAlle Empfehlungen in Melenas Bücherladen: https://gunzenhausen.buchhandlung.de/unfuckyourdata▬▬▬▬▬▬ Hier findest Du Unf*ck Your Data: ▬▬▬▬Zum Podcast auf Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6Ow7ySMbgnir27etMYkpxT?si=dc0fd2b3c6454bfaZum Podcast auf iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/unf-ck-your-data/id1673832019Zum Podcast auf Deezer: https://deezer.page.link/FnT5kRSjf2k54iib6Zum Podcast auf Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@unfckyourdata▬▬▬▬▬▬ Merch: ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬https://unfckyourdata-shop.de/▬▬▬▬▬▬ Kontakt: ▬▬▬▬E-Mail:
Think your nonprofit's old emails and files are harmless? Think again. What you keep — and what you don't — could save or sink your organization. It's Jess Birken here, and I'm back with my co-host Meghan tackling a topic that sounds boring but is way more important than you think: data retention policies and how they protect your nonprofit. Real Listener Question: “I work at a nonprofit that serves trans youth. If the government starts targeting nonprofits, what can we do now to prepare and protect our data?” If your organization collects sensitive participant info, donor data, or internal records, what you hold onto could be putting you at risk. From lawsuits to government inquiries, the wrong data strategy can leave you vulnerable. Meghan and I dive into why your nonprofit needs a data retention policy, what you should keep, what you should delete, and how to plan for changing political climates without panicking. What You'll Learn: Why keeping everything forever could actually make your organization less safe The seven-year rule of thumb for retaining records (and when to go shorter or longer) How to protect sensitive participant data in politically charged mission areas What to do before you purge anything — and the legal traps to avoid How to set up a “threat-level” data plan when government scrutiny ramps up Why email hoarding could come back to bite you and how to clean it up smartly Bottom line: Your data is both an asset and a liability.

Dave Sobel interviews Robert Buda, founder and president of Buda Consulting, about the critical role of data management in the age of AI. Buda emphasizes that while the principles of data management remain unchanged, the speed at which organizations must adapt to new technologies has increased dramatically. He argues that ensuring data quality is more crucial than ever, especially as organizations begin to rely on AI models for decision-making. Buda expresses concern that some in the AI community believe that simply feeding more data into models will lead to accurate outcomes, a notion he finds misleading.The conversation delves into the tension between speed and scale in data management. Buda explains that the rapid influx of new applications requires data professionals to react quickly, making speed a more pressing issue than the sheer volume of data. He acknowledges that while big data was heavily discussed, much of it went unused, contrasting this with the current AI landscape, which he believes will have a more significant impact on how data is utilized.Buda also challenges the perception that organizations overestimate the value of their data. He argues that many companies underestimate the criticality of their operational data, which is essential for their functioning. He highlights the risks associated with data loss, such as ransomware attacks, and stresses that all data, not just sensitive information, is vital for business continuity.As the discussion wraps up, Buda emphasizes the importance of maintaining rigorous data accuracy and proper metadata management. He warns against complacency as organizations adopt AI technologies, advocating for a proactive approach to ensure that data is well-structured and labeled. This diligence will be essential as businesses increasingly rely on AI-driven insights for operational decisions, making the quality of data more important than ever.
