Most enterprise IT leaders are stuck choosing between two hard problems: - Do you put your smartest people on AI? - Or do you put them on VMware rationalization? In this week’s CTO Advisor Podcast, I sat down with @vmiss33 to talk about why that tension exists—and why it’s actually the wrong framing. We get into: - Why most enterprises don’t need massive GPU racks (and how badly AI sizing is misunderstood) - Why virtualization rationalization is a prerequisite to AI—not a distraction from it - What’s really happening with data center builds at the local level (not the hype version) How experienced infrastructure leaders are using AI tools to build real systems without becoming full-time coders This is a practitioner-to-practitioner conversation. No hype. No vendor bingo cards. Just reality. 🎧 Listen here: thectoadvisor.com/right-sizi…

GK just shared the same thing I see. Data management and normalization takes 80% of data scientists time. Data wrangling is the problem to solve in data analytics across data sources. #NetAppInsight.
