PRO Session (CloudX): AI Data Center in a Box: The Future of Edge Computing

Thursday September 4, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PDT

Venkat Maddali, Medallia, Global Head - SRE

Data is growing at an unprecedented pace. Every transaction generates data, and with AI, this growth is accelerating. AI-driven automation introduces additional transactions, creating more data. As humans become more inquisitive about AI's operations, we add even more data through observability, logs, controls, and guardrails. Everything we do contributes to this data explosion.

This growth welcomes a new problem: The Challenge of AI and Data Ownership

The Challenge of AI and Data Ownership

Traditional solutions rely on commodity storage to handle data growth. However, AI is forcing industries to rethink data ownership. Many customers want to leverage AI but do not want to send their data to a hosted cloud, whether public, private, or hybrid. The question is: how do we enable AI while keeping data within a customer's control?

AI Data Center in a Box

The answer lies in AI-powered data centers in a box. This is not just a rack of servers but a compact, turnkey solution designed for edge computing. The key components of this AI-driven edge solution include:

Modular design to balance power, compute, networking, and security
Pluggable LLMs (Large Language Models) for customized AI processing
Integrated storage to handle large datasets efficiently
On-demand AI processing to enable offline and secure computations
Kill switch for ultimate control and security

PRO Session (CloudX): Turning Tech Debt into Impact: A SRE's Guide to Prioritization and Action

Friday September 5, 2025 9:30am - 9:55am PDT

CloudX -- Main Stage

Saurabh Phaltane, Google, Senior Site Reliability Engineer

My talk will delve into my experiences managing technical debt in a large-scale search environment, specifically how I've proactively used my SRE expertise to turn what's often seen as a burden into a source of impactful projects. I'll walk through the key principles that guide my approach, including how I categorize and prioritize tech debt, and how I collaborate with other teams to address it effectively. A core part of my talk will focus on the methods I employ to pinpoint high-impact opportunities within the landscape of existing tech debt – looking at pain points, identifying patterns, and always considering the business impact.
Finally, I'll emphasize the importance of "cleaning up the mess" as a vital aspect of SRE hygiene, discussing how automation, monitoring, and thorough documentation contribute to long-term system health and prevent the resurgence of technical debt. I'll illustrate these points with concrete examples from my work, demonstrating how addressing tech debt can lead to significant improvements in system performance, reliability, and overall engineering efficiency.
