Hey folks, it’s Travis here. In my latest episode of “Talking Tech with Travis,” I had an insightful conversation with Tobias Ternstrom, the Chief Product Officer at Starburst. Tobias shared how Dell Technologies and Starburst are working together to revolutionize data management with their open lakehouse architecture. This architecture powers the central engine of the Dell Data Lakehouse, making it easier for enterprises to query, ingest and manage data across various environments. It enhances efficiency and reduces costs by providing a seamless experience for querying data across the enterprise.
“Customers, especially enterprise customers, can really get an awesome outcome utilizing a smaller model if they have the right data and it’s prepared the correct way.” – Travis Vigil
This unification of data is critical for effective generative AI applications, as it ensures secure and accessible data for training AI models. With this vital foundation, organizations can scale their generative AI initiatives with products like the Dell AI Factory with NVIDIA, which encompasses computing, networking, storage, software and services. This drives innovative use cases, including digital and virtual customer service agents, digital content creation, coding assistants and industrial digital twins.
“…I want that same data warehouse experience, fully governed SQL querying, but I want it against my lake. And also being able to combine it with data that actually doesn’t sit in the lake yet.” – Tobias Ternstrom
Tobias highlighted practical applications like AI training, dashboards and in-app experiences, emphasizing the importance of on-premises solutions for cost efficiency and data security. Our conversation underscored the transformative potential of effective data management in the era of generative AI and its ability to accelerate AI workloads for organizations. I’m thrilled about our ongoing collaboration, which promises to bring more cutting-edge solutions to our customers. Stay tuned for more insights and discussions on the latest in tech!
