Session Type:General Session (Presentation)Building a Data Foundation to Make AI Anywhere a Reality
A staggering number of AI projects fail before reaching production, and the primary culprit is data. As enterprises re-architect their infrastructure to support generative, agentic, and physical AI across distributed infrastructures, the data layer is emerging as the lynch pin for success.
Learn how to architect a strategic data foundation that increases efficiency using infrastructure you already have, to simplify AI data pipelines, enable AI anywhere across any on-premises and cloud storage, and prepare for a future at a much larger scale.

Time:9:00am-9:40amSession Type:General Session (Presentation)Unified Control Plane for Enterprise GenAI implementation : Powered by Agentic deployment platform with Central AI Gateway & MCP integration
As generative AI transforms from experimental proof-of-concepts to mission-critical enterprise applications, organizations face an emerging challenge: managing the complexity of distributed AI systems at scale.
Modern enterprises are implementing AI Gateways as critical infrastructure to manage and orchestrate agentic AI systems with MCP integration.
This session will deep dive into AI Gateway capabilities—including API management, MCP servers integration, traffic routing, authentication, and observability—with agentic AI's decision-making abilities, organizations achieve scalable, secure, and governed AI deployment.This will be an immersion into Agentic AI enterprise wide implementation.

Autonomous Platform Security with Hardware-Embedded AI Agents
As cyber threats grow more sophisticated and infrastructure complexity increases, traditional approaches fall short. In this briefing Axiado CEO Gopi Sirineni introduces a hardware-anchored, AI-driven approach to platform security and system management, powered by intelligent agents embedded directly in trusted silicon and independent of the host CPU and OS. Running on our Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU), these agents autonomously detect, respond to, and recover from threats while optimizing system performance in real time. Learn how Axiado’s architecture transforms passive infrastructure into resilient, self-defending systems—delivering proactive protection and operational intelligence from the ground up.
